My pup is the most beautiful dog in the world, even when she’s got dirt all over her face, and you can’t convince me otherwise.

You cannot tell me this isn’t cruelty just for the sake of cruelty.

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

Oh my god.

Missouri AG just essentially banned gender affirming care for most trans adults via emergency rule.

Requires 3 years of dysphoria, 18 months of therapy sessions, doesn't allow people with autism/depression.

This is what elimination of transgender people looks like.

@0liviajulianna @brotherjones_ @CNN @MSNBC @maddow @NPR @ABC @NBCNews Stop covering the tr*mp plane and talk about this!

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

From @brotherjones_ on the ground in Nashville— the Tennessee legislator is planning to expel lawmakers who stood with gun control advocates today.

They have been stripped from committee assignments and their member ID’s have been shut off.

THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

Let's call this what it is: FASCISM.

TN lawmakers are being silenced for standing with young people and gun safety activists today during the Nashville student walk out.

LEADERS SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR STANDING WITH THEIR CONSTITUENTS. THIS IS WRONG.

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

“A resolution to expel Justin Jones from his seat as a member of the House of Representatives…”

Just handed this on the House floor, but they still have to vote. We’ll not be intimidated. THE PEOPLE are demanding we act to stop kids from being murdered in school. #goodtrouble

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

NOW: Surrounded by advocates and protestors in the Tennessee Capitol : @brotherjones_ “the voice of the people will never be silenced. This is what democracy looks like.”

KEEP CALLING. KEEP PEACEFULLY GOING TO THE CAPITOL

@katerj and I also made a stranger things api a while back. We're working on updating the frontend, but the backend endpoints are live and the github has the route documentation.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

On this day in 1951, Henrietta Lacks died.

Her cells were taken without her knowledge in 1951 (HeLa cells) and became one of the most important tools in medicine. They became vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, in vitro fertilization & more.

@kloogans My cat loves playing with dirty socks. Is she…? Does she think…? 😳

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

This is what the media should be covering today.

I got off a plane to find my independence stripped from me.

This cannot continue happening to disabled people. This #wheelchair is my mobility. My entire life is powered by this wheelchair.

Another flight, another broken wheelchair damaged by #airlines.

@tweetto_rashid @lauradodge @DrJewelKling @JuliaFiles @DrNatStrand @LisaLemond @AmyOxentenkoMD @British_Airways “This is no problem”?! THIS IS NO PROBLEM?! Let’s say there’s no unconscious bias showing up here.
Let’s just pretend.

This is still an egregious UX bug that QA testing in a company that size should have caught.

Brittney Griner has been illegally detained in Russia since February 17th, 2022. I’m urging the @WhiteHouse to prioritize Brittney’s safe return home immediately! #WeAreBG

[Housing 4 All is Hot @ahouse4all]

I met an unhoused woman who has two years of disability payments sitting in a bank account she cannot access because she does not have an ID. After months we finally got her birth certificate and then she woke up to a sweep where all of her paperwork was thrown away.

[steve. @StevenPargett]

The white folks that work at the front desk at WeWork are off today to observe the holiday.

The Black people that do all the custodial and cleaning services in here working. 

Happy Juneteenth!

[Eileen Left @Eileenleft5]

@BrunChameau The practice of gential surgery & sexual assignment on intersex kids continues today and must end!

Notice how the spate of anti gender affirming care for trans kids all make exceptions for these treatments for intersex kids?
