saw you voted against stopping the murders in Gaza today. please stop posting these lies that you care about humanitarian aid when you ignore your constituents and vote to continue arming a genocide.

I will never vote for you again.

Michigan senator then votes against safety for Gazans, consistent with her other votes. the performative justice is sickening.

and yet you voted against protecting the people of Gaza. again. today. I am disgusted and I will not vote for you again.

your words mean nothing.

so, senator, are you going to vote today against continuing to arm Israel as they starve Gazans to death? or is this just a social media post?

Because I have written your office about this too many times to see you vote against saving lives again.

Just to make it clear: the rejection of depictions of trans people at the National Portrait Gallery and the rejection of trans content at itch.io are part of the same attack: first they ban obscenity, then they define your existence as obscene.

DON'T STOP CALLING.

email them if you want, sure, but the fact that they are requesting people to *email them instead* (presumably because emails are much easier to ignore) means that the calls are WORKING, i.e. becoming a massive nuisance and interrupting workflow.

once again, DON'T STOP CALLING.

A recap of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill":

Kids go hungry so Jeff Bezos can buy a 3rd yacht.

Kids lose health care so Zuckerberg can buy a 2nd Hawaiian island.

Seniors lose their nursing home care so Elon Musk can go to Mars.

We must fight back with all we've got.

Last month Arkansas passed a law preventing drug middlemen from owning pharmacies.

Now CVS has to get out of the middleman drug gameβ€”or close 23 stores and abandon 340,000 patients.

CVS said it's "looking at all available options" but hasn't provided plans to stay open.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody."

But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies.

Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

really encouraging you to be vocal, not just about that part fo the bill, but about the power grab that is written into this bill, as someone else mentioned above. no one in the executive branch should be immune to the judicial branch's rulings.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

Trans men’s insight on this is so fucking valuable in understanding the nuances of what’s going on with men. We need to be amplifying them, and hopefully cis men can realize what is actually the source of their loneliness.

Abigail Spanberger, Democrat running for Virginia Governor, says she wouldn't sign a bill that fully repeals right-to-work.

Any politician who wants to serve working Americans needs to unequivocally stand against anti-union right-to-work laws and support the labor movement.

All these colleges that are shutting down affinity graduations, affinity groups, antiracist and feminist speakers, diversity offices, anti-genocide demonstrations, Ethnic Studies programs, Gender Studies programs, or Queer Studies programs are not committed to ideological diversity.

Here’s the bottom line; it’s not even debatable:

In order for us to save Democracy…we are all going to have to embrace the fact that it will require much greater personal risk than we are taking right now.

Twenty ICE agents invade a home with U.S. citizens in Oklahoma City. The names on the warrant don’t match anyone who lives there or the family’s associates. The agents force a woman and her three daughters out of their house in their underwear.

A Giant Pacific Octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini) clinging to a large rocks on the poking out of the water. The camera is above the water and you can see the shiny, bumpy surface of the water. The octopus is stretching its arms into the shallow water on the rock. Just behind the rock is a steep drop off of a couple metres. The water as a beautiful blue colour. The octopus is a deep orangish red colour, and it appears to have its papillae raised.
