~1,660 Afghans cleared by the U.S. Govt to resettle in the U.S.—including family members of active duty U.S. military personnel—are having their flights canceled b/c Trump suspended the refugee program. This includes children awaiting reunification with families as well as Afghans at risk of Taliban retribution because they supported US soldiers against the Taliban.

One day in and Trump is already separating children & abandoning our allies to certain death. Disgusting beyond words.

The GOP’s stunning response to Trump pardoning those who assaulted police

Now that Donald Trump has granted clemency to every Jan. 6 defendant
— including those who assaulted police
— the response from Republicans has been strikingly muted — even approving:

A remarkable episode that shows
how Trump gradually lured his party to vouch for the previously unthinkable

That so few Republicans express disapproval of pardoning so many people who assaulted police
— while some are even aligning themselves with a decision that a poll recently showed three-quarters of Americans oppose
— is a watershed moment in our politics.

I just suggested a new hash-tag to collect such posts, maybe our forces can align perhaps?

I understand the President went to church and was discomfited by a sermon extolling Christly compassion

“There were two musics progressing at one time, and they were utterly at variance. One was deep and wide and beautiful, slow and blended with immeasurable sorrow. The other achieved a unity of its own; but was loud, and vain, and endlessly repeated, with little harmony, rather a clamorous unison of many trumpets braying upon few notes. It tried to drown the other music by the violence of its voice, but its most triumphant notes were woven by the other into its own solemn pattern.”

One of my most favourite shots from #VealeGardens #Adelaide, taken a couple of years ago, a purple iris after the rain.

Since a lot of the US is in a horrible cold snap right now, a reminder that a lot of libraries have thermal cameras you can borrow. They're really useful for doing a DIY energy audit on your home. Find where your weather stripping is leaking, where the drafts are coming in, how effective window wraps are, etc.

What’s the problem, doesn’t “Gulf of Oil Spills and Toxic Vanity Rocket Debris” fit on the sign?

Do you know the difference between a party that defends and celebrates a Nazi salute... and a Nazi party? Because I don't.
All I'm saying is, it's day one and you're already defending a Nazi salute

Dear mainstream media, take a look in the mirror. It's been literally one day and you're already either ignoring or defending a literal Nazi salute.

This is why political analyses of climate climate have warned of the rise of more authoritarian governments in response to growing societal and economic impacts.

Okay i think i was one of the trans folks who brought this up before and i did so because it is not something conservatives would ever agree to because they are the extremists in all this, not trans people.

RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:grgoc…

= CBH DONATE Now the good news is that some brave Democrats, including several leaders in the LGBTQ+ community, have broken the mold and have reached out to start having these discussions, at least in private. One of the ideas that has emerged from many transgender Americans themselves is proposing legislation that would couple basic civil rights with reasonable restrictions on transgender women in women's sports. So why don't we propose this, win some thoughtful, moderate Republicans to our side, and counter Trump's hate with legal protections? The reason is that many in our party will eat our own for failing to meet their self-proscribed ideological purity test on the issue. Even now, interest groups are continuing to take the hardest possible line at the expense of coming to any sort of consensus that could actually protect people's rights.
