Nazis Burned Trans Books To Usher In Fascism: Now Trump Does The Same Transgender people have often been a canary in the coalmines of Democracy.

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism.

Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records.

This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity.

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

As the legendary @janefonda.com points out, this is our generation’s moment to write history. The future is in our hands. We cannot hide in fear or run away from the fight.

The only minority destroying America is the billionaires.

Here in Texas, a group of billionaires are trying to dismantle our public schools with a private school voucher scam.

If they want to close our schools, Texans have 4 words for them:

Come and Take It.

YouTube video by Rep. Ayanna Pressley There's nothing "efficient" about gutting government services that families depend on to survive.

For Musk, Trump, & Republicans, it's never been about efficiency.

Because there's nothing "efficient" about gutting government services that families depend on.

It's always been about harming vulnerable people to pay for massive tax breaks for their billionaire friends.

Fire Black, brown, & Arab journalists who condemn Trump & keep white journalists who support Trump—yet still insist it has nothing to do with race.

“I can’t believe what you say, because I see what you do.”

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 
3) Donors make a huge profit. 
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Basically, SUCK IT ELON: "OpenAI is not for sale, and the board has unanimously rejected Mr. Musk's latest attempt to disrupt his competition. Any potential reorganization of OpenAI will strengthen our nonprofit and its mission to ensure AGI benefits all of humanity." — OpenAI chair Bret Taylor

Looks like Elon Musk needs that yearly reminder that The Matrix is a trans allegory written by two closeted trans women.

“You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”

Trump and His Family Earned Millions From Trump Coin While 810,000 Others Lost Money: Report Donald Trump and early investors have earned millions from $TRUMP coin while 813,294 wallets have registered $2 billion in collective losses.

Thousands of investors in Trump’s crypto scheme lost $2 billion in just weeks while the Trump Organization racked up $100 million in trading fees.

Just so happens that the CFPB, which Trump is trying to kill, recently announced new regulations for the crypto industry.

Hello?

Trump’s executive orders are not law.

This doctor knows it. Many hospital systems know it.

Those that comply with something not passed by congress and with power not constitutionally granted to the president are cowardly.

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter

The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

He has no room to speak about leaving it to professionals. He negates his own anti-trans rhetoric by that logic.

“Every time someone goes to define socialism, they always define capitalism.”

So much of that is true in my experience.

My wife @katzish.bsky.social did the same. Everyone pay this amazing team @wired.com. Kudos also to @katie-drummond.bsky.social

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😃

Good-bye, Pamela Paul The contrarian columnist showed us the intolerable side of liberalism.

She's gone!

Pamela Paul, according to the intelligencer, is out at the Times this spring due to job cuts at the NYT.
