After an Ohio teacher put up a poster in their classroom reading "hate has no home here," the school board said it violated a state law against instructional materials related to sexual orientation or gender identity.
Anti-LGBTQ censorship laws do nothing to help kids learn and grow.

An Associated Press tweet reporting that the Trump administration will keep flying a rainbow Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument, with an image of the flag displayed in a park near a statue.
My LGBTQ+ community will never be rendered invisible. We will always stand up and fight for our rightful place.
Electoral College cartogram showing which states are in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and which ones could join in time for it to activate by 2028. Each state is sized and labeled according to its number of electoral votes. The states are spaced out enough to accommodate the changes in size but retain their general shapes and relative positions on the map. Current members are in solid orange, potential members are in light green, and nonmembers that are unlikely to join are in medium gray. Members have 222 electoral votes, potential states have 68, and the unlikely states have 248. The compact would only activate once states with at least 270 electoral votes have joined. The seven potential members and their electoral vote are Alaska (3), Arizona (11), Michigan (15), Nevada (6), New Hampshire (4), Pennsylvania (19), and Wisconsin (10). Democrats would need to gain the governor's office and/or legislative chambers to win unified power in these states, as detailed in the spreadsheet linked in this post.
NEW: Virginia just passed a law to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, giving it 222 of 270 electoral votes needed to activate.
This map and spreadsheet show which states could join to activate it by 2028 depending on the outcome of the 2026 elections docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

With gratitude to the Hungarian people for showing us what can be accomplished through concerted, peaceful action by many over time.
May this be a call to widespread peaceful engagement to defend the U.S. Constitution.
Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.
Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Not sure how many spacewalks they’ll have time for, but these studies in #Celegans will help tell us how the #microbiome alters host responses to microgravity.
Next launch attempt of thousands of tiny astronauts on 4/11/26 at 7:40am EST!

I've liked Ted Lieu ever since he pulled this stunt. Dude keeps standing on business.
Four photos, sections of kidneys. Each photo shows pinkish tissues with round structures with white lines. Labeled A through D.
#ImageForensics
Kidneys of four differently treated groups of animals. None of these photos should overlap. But is that true????
Tell or show me if you find at least 2 sets of overlaps.
The multitude of ways that jack up American healthcare costs (without improving outcomes)

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️
It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.
Someone holds up a sign that says "We the People" with American flags on it. They're wearing a jacket, beanie, and gloves. Many people and the Washington Monument are in front of them.
If President Trump thought he could shut us up with his attacks on free speech, he should think again.
Our democracy belongs to all of us.
No Kings in Boston!!
POV: You made history by joining the LARGEST protest in United States history! #NoKings
Use the energy’s from today’s historic day to meet your neighbors (if safe) and start a group chat on Signal. The most important resistance work is hyper localized 🤝
#WeSayNoKings
Long sign says "Waiting for the fall". A stack of blue turtles, stand on top of each other with the king in red on top, sweat falling off many of the turtles under the angry orange faced wing with the blond wig. It looks similar to a book by Dr. Suess. Each turtle has a different wordon it's shell: the law, justice, education, environment, federal workers, LGBTQ, Latinos, Blacks
Person wearing a coat holds sign that says "We hold the Bachelorette to Higher Standards than the President"
Make America Matriarchal Already !!!
Prevent Truth Decay. Two teeth, one with a hole, on a red background with a large toothbrush made of scrubbers. And the sign handle is the toothbrush handle.
Here are some of my favorite signs from the #NoKings protest in Willimantic CT.
I know some people are gonna say sign holders aren't doing enough, but as someone who has also written emails, signed petitions, called Congress reps, boycotted, donated $, & more, stop yucking our joy.
When I grew up in the 1970s, there were just a handful of vaccines
Today, we are lucky to have vaccines against more than 20 diseases!
Science has worked, what we need is greater access & less disinformation!
Someone give this veteran at a No Kings protest in Houston a medal of honor.
His response to being asked why he is protesting was brilliantly said.
