The Freedom to Learn campaign included panels and coffee meetups and will end Saturday with a protest and prayer
A coalition of civil rights groups have launched a weeklong initiative to condemn Donald Trump’s attacks on Black history, including recent executive orders targeting the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) in Washington DC.

🧵 It’s the 100th day of Trump 2.0, so here are 100 times Trump and those close to him have attacked press freedom and transparency.

Less than a month after the 2018 massacre in Parkland, Florida’s GOP-dominated Legislature created a red flag law, implemented a three-day waiting period for rifle purchases, and raised the minimum age to buy semiautomatic rifles from 18 to 21.
Since then, Florida has gone in the other direction.

@football365.bsky.social it’s so funny your post earlier today refers to Arsenal’s transfer ineptitude when they’re 2nd in EPL, in the quarters of Champions, and transfers Odegaard, Rice, Raya, Merino, Trossard, Martinelli, Gabriel, and many others form the core of a team ranked fifth in the world

I'm so glad that Trump and his military team consider transgender service people to be a preparedness and security issue, but publicly sharing strike plans putting service people in immediate peril is no issue at all. It makes me feel like our military are in much safer hands.
