Person in glasses holding box of gluten free cheez-it with a smile on their face.

My dream came true! They're perfect!

Abortion is legal in Missouri.

Abortion is not accessible in Missouri.

There is nothing I want more in this world than gluten free cheez-its and they aren't in my stores yet. Whine whine whine.

Here are the Declaration of Independence’s grievances against King George III. Many apply to Trump. It's uncanny.

I hope this catches on and becomes his legacy

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left."

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Today has been extremely hard. I've been obsessed with Ozzy Osbourne's music for 30 years and I'm not ready for him to be gone. I'm so glad he had the tribute a few weeks ago, but I'm so sad. This was a great tribute to the legend, the God of heavy metal.

Why is Trump so hell-bent on defunding PBS? It’s part of a larger plan — one where he can control not just what we do, b Why Does Trump Hate Sesame Street?

Throughout history, tyrants have understood that their major enemy is an educated public.

Trump is no different. That’s why he’s trying to control not just what we do – but what we think.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking the Dept. of Education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's fascism.

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why?
Because it expired after its shipment was delayed.

1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed.

This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

My first grandbaby will be born soon. I'm very excited and I know my sweetie will be a star. So I crocheted one for em to wear.

The "machine that eats up Black farmland" After decades of discriminating against Black farmers and ignoring their complaints, the USDA is promising to do better. Again.

Black farmers have lost more than 90 percent of their land since 1910. (From 2021)

Terrifying.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

We can have nice things Zohran Mamdani proved you can fully embrace progressive values—and win.

New — I wrote about how Zohran Mamdani’s win shows the power of a positive vision for the future, New Yorkers’ rejection of fear-based politics, and provides a blueprint for progressive Jews and Muslims to create a multi-racial, multi-faith coalition that supports prosperity for all.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

Anatomy of a Hit Piece: Deconstructing The New York Times' Attack on Transgender Rights in U.S. v. Skrmetti Seemingly not content with the US v. Skrmetti decision issued by the court siding with Tenessee to ban gender affirming care for trans youth, the New York Times was ready to pour salt on the fresh wou...

I couldn't let that Confessore piece slide. It was such a disgusting hit piece on a vulnerable community in a moment of crisis. I dissected the article and why its framings are dishonest at best and outright lies of ommission at worst.

We won't let today's ruling stop us from continuing our fight for trans justice.

Yesterday 💜 No kings.

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.
