Please, everyone, help spread the message.

But, more importantly, when you hear or encounter transphobia in your day to day:

Say something. Do something. Prove this message true.

I stand with the Transgender community.

I will not let them be erased.

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.

He spent a year in jail for this.

The Ellisons are gobbling up the media ecosystem to please Trump. Oligarchy in service of authoritarianism.

Anyone found to have improperly used a restroom or other private space in a government building would face a written warning for a first violation. A second violation would carry a $1,000 fine, and each subsequent violation would be a misdemeanor offense punishable by another fine and up to six months in jail.
Anyone who believes someone used the wrong restroom in their presence could file a complaint seeking $1,000.
"This whole deputization thing β€” it turns Kansas residents into Dog the Bounty Hunter," Lawson said. "So now I have to worry about people watching me walk into the ladies' room, and then oh, they're going to call in a $1,000 bounty on me. That is just so, so wrong on so many levels.

In addition to its draconian measure on drivers licenses, the state of Kansas is offering $1,000 bounties to citizens who want to report that a transgender person is using the β€œwrong” bathroom.

1 in 5 workers in America is an immigrant. Our diversity makes our jobs, our unions, and our country strong.

Trying to divide us based on where we are born is a dirty trick that only helps the billionaire bosses.

More than 75,000 Post readers cancelled their subscriptions after the recent cuts. An even larger number bailed after Bezos killed the endorsement of Harris, but now the decline feels terminal. Bezos does not want a great paper with a conservative opinion page (like the Wall Street Journal). He seemingly barely wants a paper at all, treating one of the most important American media institutions like an embarrassing child from a previous marriage that no longer fits his lifestyle.

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half.

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.

Mills recognized that as the power elite becomes increasingly degenerate, it is increasingly difficult for their intellectual acolytes to formulate reasonable ideological justifications for their corrupt and irresponsible actions. In these circumstances, the power elite resorts to intellectual repression against those who call attention to their declining political capacities; that is, the intelligentsia who work in universities, museums, the arts, scientific institutes, entertainment, and the mass media.

Sociologist C. Wright Mills saw this comingβ€”and tried to warn usβ€”60+ years ago.

Starbucks Workers United baristas are escalating their fight for a fair contract.

I urge you to keep boycotting Starbucks β€” and delete its app from your phone.

Workers are fed up with low pay, chaotic scheduling, understaffing, and illegal union busting.

Let's keep fighting corporate greed.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women β€” and interactions with them β€” through the lens of sex

This is what oligarchy looks like:

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump.

Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
