As attention turns to Washington this weekend for WHCD, Austin Tice should not be forgotten. The U.S. must pursue every credible avenue to bring him home, including with Iran, Israel, Russia and Syria. His family deserves answers, and the effort should not stop. #FreeAustinTice #BringAustinHome

Wise words from Spain's Prime Minister: “The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost. The govt of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”
Hope this will be going up on YouTube!
While killing dozens of people in Lebanon (MOPH says 112, civil defense counts 250+, until now), Israel still found time to kill another one of our colleagues in Gaza.
Protect Chaco Canyon! Trump’s DOI has announced a proposal to open it to oil and gas drilling—potentially destroying sites that have been sacred to Pueblo and Diné indigenous communities for generations.
Say NO to revoking protections for this sacred place: eplanning.blm.gov/Project-Home...
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
The administration used Good Friday to propose cutting the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA)’s $13.5 million in funding to zero. I have seen firsthand how important IAIA’s work is. Reach out to your legislators to counter this proposal.

A new study found that 85% of Americans support equal rights & equal protections for the transgender community.
Equality is popular—and it's the right thing to fight for.
Our members will never stop fighting until equality for transgender people is the law of the land.
Terrible, and terribly important, water news, from AP’s @brittanykpeters.bsky.social.
I saw your video yesterday, then here the story was in the paper today. The lack of precip this year is devastating. Hope you’re well!

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
Our entire politics now is about our sundowning, failing, unpopular leader, whose powers are clearly ebbing, maniacally trying to find ways to restore his STRENGTH, POWER, and MANLINESS.
Like seizing Greenland; taking VZ’s oil; killing men in boats; terrorizing US cities; bombing other countries.
It's just a series of sermons now about how we're all somehow to blame.
@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”
Disgusting.
Rest assured folks...when this President is relegated to the dustbin of history, MLK Day and Juneteenth will not only have free National Park admission, but will once again occupy places of pride in our nation's history.
And for whom?
Transgender Day of Remembrance, for all those we have lost and from whom we have gained so much. #tdor #tdor25
I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.
He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

This is a disgusting act. The report must be reposted.
This Transgender Awareness Week, we come together to celebrate the resilience and bravery of the transgender community in the face of relentless attacks.
My message to you is simple:
I am with you. I love you. I will never stop fighting for you.
No wrongdoing, no embarrassment.
you don't have to embarrass our guest by asking if he had someone killed and hacked to pieces
Calling the ABC reporter’s question “insubordinate” explains everything about how Trump sees press freedom.
Let’s take some “quiet time” in the frequency of inane economic commentary.
