“and a lady”…. Ew 🤢

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

My kiddo and I (& a PACKED audience) got to spend some time with @wyden.senate.gov and @repbynum.bsky.social today. I’m grateful that they’re meeting with their constituents, but wish I had a chance to request that Wyden join with other dem senators to establish new leadership

Whoever is doing this in the UK deserves an award.

Oregon EV Association - Events 2025 events

PORTLAND: The Oregon EV Association is holding a meeting at Tesla's Tigard location this Thursday, March 13, from 7-9 pm to promote Tesla's new Model Y and Cybertruck.

Let's show up and let them know that Tesla is NOT a friend of the planet, or this country! #TeslaTakedown

Left-wing protestors storm Tesla dealerships and Trump Tower and give everyone hope and life.

Centrist politicians bow to fascists without so much as putting up a fight and call it 'strategy' and give everyone RAGE and DISILLUSIONMENT.

Starting Today, do not donate money to the DNC or any Democratic candidate until Chuck Schumer steps down!

We either need democratic leaders with spine, or we need a new party. I just contacted my senators to tell them this, and you should too

Schumer’s decision is an unconscionable surrender that shows he does not have what it takes to meet this moment, and the charade he pulled yesterday makes it even worse. Time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Republican Refers to Sarah McBride, Transgender Congress Member, as a Man (Gift Article) Representative Keith Self of Texas insisted on calling Representative Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, “Mr. McBride,” and adjourned the session when challenged about it.

Rep #SarahMcBride is a class act with a cool, "Madam Chair." Good for Rep Keating for standing up for her! #transrights #transrightsarehumanrights www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/u...

With #transdayofvisibility at the end of this month, I wanted to share a display of allyship that Democrats may want to study. @billkeating.bsky.social is one of the only members of the Democratic Party to actually, vocally, stand up for trans people. 👏 #tdov

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them."

It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

It’s not that deep: Al Green showed the world what it looked like to be courageous, and in doing so he made the rest of the democrats look pathetic. They want to punish anyone who dares step out of line and in the process show them up.

Ontario, Canada cancels Elon Musk’s Starlink contract and bans all U.S. companies from government contracts. 🇨🇦

Trump's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," and the trans community have one clear purpose:

If we are angry at each other, we won't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

It’s so tempting! They’re so effective!

My heart WITHERED when I looked at the members of the party who want us to trust them to oppose this shit show sitting around meekly in matching pink outfits doing their best impression of a church mouse.

We are the only ones who can save us. The democrats ain’t it.

““The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist,” Judge Hurson wrote.”

👏 👏 👏

Defying probability, the Democratic Party has demonstrated that they are weaker and more cringe than before.

Let’s be clear: the right to protest is enshrined in the Constitution, and no one, least of all the current president, has the authority to strip us of that right.

We will not let these threats deter us.

Do you know how wrong you have to be for APA to make a statement telling you you're wrong? They're obnoxiously neutral on EVERYTHING.

Republicans terrified of crossing Trump due to physical threats, Democrat says Eric Swalwell says threats to them and their families are stopping GOP officials from criticizing president

Well this is… horrifying and expected

Direct quote from my kindergartner today:

“Mommy, I think the guy who makes the weird pointy cars, and our shitty President, they’re working together”

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
