Martijn BAARDAHow do you spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel. The kindest person in the room is often the smartest...

@stevesilberman It is absolutely heart-breaking. I see what they're now doing in Missouri, across the river from us in Illinois, to essentially criminalize being LGBTQ. They are taking lives and they literally couldn't care less. So revolting. Thank goodness for progressive state governments like Illinois and Governor Pritzker.
Steve SilbermanThis is a sad article, but we need to face the fact that GOP lawmakers *WANT* #LGBTQ teens to feel so isolated that they die by suicide. It's the inevitable result of all the laws they're passing. The parents' rights BS is just a thin mask on brutal sociopathy. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/25/transgender-suicide-karen-berg-henry-brousseau-kentucky/?utm_campaign=wp_news_alert_revere_trending_now&utm_medium=email&utm_source=alert&location=alert
Wolf Conservation CenterAfter 25 yrs back in the wild, the Mexican gray wolf has finally exceeded 200 wild members. The USFWS counted 241 in their annual population survey, up from 196 in 2021!
We're really happy to see the numbers continue to rise, but with their genetic health still on shaky ground, there remains a razor-thin margin between sustainability and extinction for wild Mexican wolves in the US.

@TonyStark His idea is DOA just like his presidential candidacy.

Please boost! Gramps is a diabetic kitty who is up for adoption in West Virginia. I would absolutely adopt him in a heartbeat but I have some circumstances that won’t allow me to take in another cat at the moment. So I figured the best thing I could do is share this little guy! He’s at a kill shelter and I’m so scared he won’t be adopted because he has diabetes. I have had a diabetic cat in the past and it’s super easy to manage!

Tony StarkI obviously need to pin a post about this again which is forcing me to create a new one.
Nobody on social media owes anyone else an explanation for how and what they post. Nobody needs to roll up and tell people what and how to post.
Nobody owes anyone else an explanation for how they present themselves online, most especially anyone in a marginalized or threatened group. Nobody should have to share or be forced to share any more information about themselves than they want.
People usually come to a social media platform to meet like-minded people and relieve stress, not make new stress. Give people a break.
We have moderation rules. They’re reasonable. We stick to them.
And if you don’t like it, just don’t follow me or anyone on this instance. We don’t care. We’re fine. You don’t need to tell us.
We’re way past explaining it. We’re just going to block you.

Steven BeschlossSo George Santos—if his name really is George Santos—will be sworn in Tuesday as a Republican member of Congress. What an insult this fraud is to every voter.
@StevenBeschloss And what an insult to the DCCC, the media, etc. who allowed someone who's peddled this much unrelenting fraud for so many of his young years to get through a Congressional election without all of this news breaking during the election.
