Who else misses having a level-headed POTUS that doesn’t go out of his/her way to further divide our nation?

California is taking emergency action and calling a special election to redraw CA’s maps, to defend fair representation and push back against Trump’s election rigging. This is about protecting democracy. Vote YES Prop 50 on Nov. 4.

News outlets like @wsj.com have a critical responsibility to report the truth.

Promoting false information that ties our LGBTQ+ community to the Utah shooting is reckless, irresponsible, and puts trans people especially in danger.

Anyone with a platform must do better. Lives are on the line.

The big question was whether the White House would obey court orders and appeal them as is its right, or whether it would thumb its nose and risk contempt. The White House so far has chosen to appeal.

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash.

None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None.

But a LOT are caused by bigots.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

A satirical timeline chart showing the evolution of the Twitter logo from 2006 to 2025. The timeline begins with a basic blue bird in 2006, evolving into a more detailed bird by 2009, and the familiar blue Twitter logo in 2010 and 2012. In 2023, the logo changes to a black "X." By 2025, the chart depicts a Nazi eagle emblem with a swastika, suggesting a provocative commentary on the platform's direction.
