It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING

Judge Susan Crawford is projected to win the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, defeating MAGA candidate Brad Schimel.

Trump, MAGA, and Musk went ALL-IN on this race—and lost.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

This is purporting to punish not only a law firm that took clients and cases Trump didn’t like, but anyone doing business with them. Just undisguised gangsterism.

PubMed is essential for scientists and doctors to access the latest medical research.

With PubMed down, we can’t search for the latest research and newest treatments for diabetes, cancer, infectious diseases, and more.

This directly impacts patient care—everyone should be concerned.

A source stationed in Germany has sent me emails showing the principal at a Department of Defense school, Weisbaden Middle, telling teachers they can no longer allow books to be checked out until someone has reviewed them for compliance with Trump’s anti-trans, anti-diversity ex orders.

They are attempting to enforce a new Lost Cause narrative. Just as the original justified Jim Crow, reshaping and constricting our public memory concerning Black contributions and the national struggle against slavery and racism paves the way for the assault on civil rights and re-segregation.
“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said.

Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

Strict guidance from the national defense department crushed plans for a parade held in honor of Frederick Douglass’ 207th birthday because it was being held during Black History Month.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

We are going to see political investigations and prosecutions.

The question is whether the public, the courts and the media will recognize and call them out as political. Will they stand up against them or will people stay silent and allow them to continue.

This is what we do. Our employees were heroes. We are now under attack by our own government.

In 2010 the Deepwater Horizon, a BP-operated drilling rig, exploded, sank, and killed 11 workers. The resulting oil spill was the largest in US history, releasing 134 million gallons of oil.
