Democrats really need to learn this lesson. https://youtu.be/m-XLVcqZ20g?si=YRfZee_PCxNu-xJB

Clearly you have WAY more to worry about than trans folks who just want to use a stall in private, wash their hands, leave everyone else alone (believe me they’re more afraid than you), and go on their way

Shout out to Heather Cox Richardson! Thank you for your consistent and incredible work!

Trump's Labor Department is gutting more than 60 regulations, including:

-Minimum wage & overtime pay for in-home care workers
-Organizing rights for migrant farmworkers
-Penalties for companies that don’t maintain a safe workplace

The person who is currently the top federal prosecutor in Albany removed the @timesunion.com

Just wow. A must read.

Palantir employees spill the tea.

Thirteen former Palantir staffers signed a letter urging the company to cut ties with the Trump administration.

YouTube video by Robert Reich Who Wins in Trump’s Deregulation Spree?

Whether it’s gutting safety regulations or firing staff at government agencies that protect the public, Trump’s latest deregulation spree is just another form of trickle-down economics.

Financial gains go to the top, while nothing trickles down except risks and losses. youtu.be/pqr1tVVOnBA?...

Immigrants are parasites. Unless it's a woman who will fuck me.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

YouTube video by Cory Booker This is wrong.

Don’t be fooled. This “big, beautiful bill” will raise prices on most and cut and gut programs for working low income Americans all to give the fewer wealthiest a massive tax cut.

This is wrong.

Trump’s Police State It endangers all of us

History shows that once an authoritarian ruler establishes the infrastructure of a police state, that same infrastructure can be turned on anyone.

Trump is rapidly creating such an infrastructure.

Let this sink in.

Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence.

During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Republicans are on the verge of passing a budget bill that would amount to one of the greatest transfers of wealth from the working poor to the super rich.

And two billionaire oligarchs are fighting about it because the bill doesn't cut vital social programs enough.

Hello?

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.

BREAKING 🚨: U.S. Banks

U.S. Banks are currently facing $482 Billion in unrealized losses, an increase of 33% from the prior quarter.

With rates now skyrocketing, these losses are going to increase. Banks, particularly small banks, are in trouble!!

-$1.5T in new tax cuts predominantly for the rich
-$700B in Medicaid cuts
-$500B in Medicare cuts
-$300B in SNAP cuts
-Leasing public lands to Big Oil
-Ending IRS Direct File
-Ending clean energy tax credits
-Banning AI regulation in the states

The oligarchy's wish list.

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner last night said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations.

Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets.

It's all out in the open.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
