'Open Cruelty': Transgender Troops Describe Indignities as They're Kicked Out of the Military
Leaders in the Trump administration have minced few words in articulating how they feel about transgender troops.
The cruelty aimed at trans military members who have bled for this country is heinous and disgusting. Even worse is the fact that this is all at the behest of a rapist defense secretary and a draft-dodging, pedophile, rapist president.

Thank you, Texas Dems, for standing up for democracy.
Playing fair has gotten Democrats nowhere against an administration that keeps rewriting the rules to stay in power and ignores the very people who elected them.

The confederates are so funny. The rest of us are out here being normal, and they’re like “remember that time we came in second place in a war?”

Republican Governor Overturns Voters and Repeals Paid Sick Leave
Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe defied his constituents and proudly repealed paid sick leave just after it went into effect.
With the stroke of a pen, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe signed off on legislation repealing the paid sick leave provision of a ballot measure that roughly 58 percent of Missourian voters approved in November.

First they come for the comedians, then the cartoonist. Kings fear being laughed at. We have a funny bone to pick with/without a smile on our faces #Colbert #Kimmel #SethMeyers #DailyShow

After Colbert is gone there will be precisely zero reasons ever to watch CBS again.

The story about Colbert being cancelled because…. Trump doesn’t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the power… they will use their money to silence you.
Time to rise up.

The only thing massive about Trump’s birthday celebration were the protests against it.

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.
