“[The Republicans] have lost this battle, and they have to preserve these programs. And the judge’s order says that’s required by law. So, God willing, they will never attack these programs again — but eternal vigilance is the price of freedom, so we’ll see.” inthesetimes.com/article/west...

the media is going to assist in making youth transgender care illegal and then they’ll move onto their next goal of making it illegal across the board. anyone going along with this is a fascist

The Trump Administration Is Going After Your Grandma When older adults lose access to vital services, their entire families face the consequences.

When older adults lose access to vital services, the ripple effects are vast. The Trump admin is trying to do just that.

Here's why young people should care: www.teenvogue.com/story/trump-...

Journalists @thehill.com learned that one of their own was fired to appease Trump and stop a lawsuit.

Nexstar, which owns The Hill, is gutting nonpartisan reporting, planning to lay off 30% of the newsroom, and caving to political pressure.

We stand with The Hill Guild. Read their statement below:

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

thought crimes are now illegal in the united states. it’s truly baffling that their anyone was ever convinced by the right being pro “free speech”. anyone who gave any credence to that argument is a rube

Washington Post management let us know they will NOT voluntarily recognize our union and are refusing to meet with Tech Guild leaders about election details. This is unacceptable.

Today, we held a picket in partnership with our Post Guild colleagues to demand that the company listen to us.

UAW President Shawn Fain explains why he supports Trump's tariffs Shawn Fein supports auto industry tariffs but calls broad tariffs "reckless."

I have a lot of respect for Fain but this is a colossal mistake.

Putting aside that these tariffs as proposed are going to do deep and irreparable harm to workers around the world, this is such a political error. We need discipline in vocally opposing everything the regime supports

Pelicans standing in a circle

They’re talking about forming a union.

yeah those innocent brown people who were murdered don’t matter as much as the republicans doing exactly what any reasonable person would assume they’re doing! are you fucking kidding me lol the coverup can be bad without minimizing the WAR CRIME

Y'all get that we also shouldn't be dropping those bombs, right? Just checking.

Left out guy at the party meme with caption “They don’t know I’m the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.”

Them: we call it the woke mind “virus” to communicate how deadly and awful it is and that it must be eradicated.

Also them: enh, measles is FINE.

the ratio of cybertrucks in denver vs the amount of cybertrucks sold total is concerningly high

seeing bennet have a backbone once every 2-4 years is a delight and i’m glad he’s doing it over this

lucy will really let charlie kick the football next time, really!

turns out when you legitimate a taste for bigotry people gravitate to the parties that serve it as an entree rather than as a garnish

chuck schumer needs to go. the democratic party leadership is useless. they are not opposition, they are complicit. if you care at all about this country or anyone in it, you NEED to vote against this bill

FACT: people in unions are hotter than people not in unions

you show me some guy who emanates hitler particles, i’ll show you the biggest can’t get no bitches loser on the planet

republicans: fyi we are bombing france for being too gay and lead poisoning is now mandatory

democrats: yeah? well prepare yourselves for several strongly worded haikus
