No matter where you stand on what heโ€™s doing with tariffs or deportations or anything else, we can ALL agree that Donald Trump is an utterly horrible human being. He is the absolute worst of us.๐Ÿ‘‡

I really want cis folks to understand the situation - trans women face widespread employment discrimination and live in devastating poverty.

Meanwhile, the woman who came in fifth place in a swimming competition, ONCE, makes a million+ a year to advocate for destroying our rights.

On Fox Business, Cuomo continued to paint an ominous picture of New York City under Zohran Mamdani if he is elected mayor and questioned his allegiance to America and the city. โ€œDual-citizenship, he was a citizen of Uganda, his parents own a mansion in Uganda, heโ€™s spent a lot of time there,โ€ Cuomo said. He went on to again invoke 9/11 in conjunction with the candidacy of Mamdani, who was a 9-year-old boy living in New York when the attacks took place. โ€œHe just doesnโ€™t understand the New York culture, the New York values, what 9/11 meant.โ€

The Andrew Cuomo Campaign Is All in on MAGA Influencers With the NYC mayoral race coming to a close, Andrew Cuomo is courting right-wing creators.

WITH ONLY 13 days left before the New York City mayoral election, former governor Andrew Cuomo is partnering with some of the same influencers who helped President Donald Trump win the White House last year.

Ok let's see here, I have an economy dependent on consumer spending, and where everyone is leveraged to the gills. Should I make everything more expensive for no apparent reason and see how it goes?

The governmentโ€™s shut down. Trump and Republicans are:

โ€”Demolishing part of the White House to make room for a $200M golden ballroom
โ€”Trying to send Argentina a $40 BILLION bailout
โ€”Refusing to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva
โ€”Buying Kristi Noem 2 luxury private jets

Americans deserve better.

Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Not to be THAT dictionary, butโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s โ€˜per se,โ€™ not โ€˜per say.โ€™
Itโ€™s โ€˜dog-eat-dog world,โ€™ not โ€˜doggy-dog world.โ€™
Itโ€™s โ€˜hunger pangs,โ€™ not โ€˜hunger pains.โ€™
Itโ€™s โ€˜one and the same,โ€™ not โ€˜one in the same.โ€™
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

Guys, I donโ€™t mean to sound like this but there is a felon down the street making AI videos of himself as a king shitting on Americans and the American flag and he is literally tearing down the White House as we speak

Expiring ACA Premium Tax Credits Could Lead to Nearly 340,000 Jobs Lost Across the U.S. in 2026 Unless Congress acts quickly to extend the enhanced ACA marketplace premium tax credits, nearly 5 million people could lose health insurance coverage in 2026.

If Congress doesnโ€™t permanently extend the ACA tax credits, 22 MILLION people will see their health insurance costs more than DOUBLE and 340,000 jobs will be lost in 2026.

Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.

Why did Republicans gut health care? To fund tax breaks for billionaires.
YouTube video by Senator Jeff Merkley Why did Republicans gut health care? To fund tax breaks for billionaires.

Why did Republicans gut health care? To fund tax breaks for billionaires.

Whyโ€™d they gut child nutrition benefits? Tax breaks for billionaires.

Whyโ€™d they add $30 TRILLION to the debt? Tax breaks for billionaires!!!

Theyโ€™re fighting for billionaires. Weโ€™re fighting for YOU.

NBC news: The discussions come as Trump has sought to deploy National Guard troops in several major cities โ€” including Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland, Oregon โ€” saying theyโ€™re needed to reduce crime and protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials from protesters. Critics have said that the Trump administration is exaggerating issues in those cities.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.
