I wish a very happy β€œfuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics

Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either

This is why we fight for *everyone*

We're the wealthiest nation on earth. We don’t need β€œausterity” or tax breaks for billionaires.

We need policies that benefit working families, not just the 1%.

NOW is the time to EXPAND health care, INVEST in public education and BUILD low-income and affordable housing.

This is the core proposition & selling point for reactionary thought: not that they are better, but simply that *everyone* is corrupt, everyone is a crook, everyone's just out for themselves, so you might as well get yours. That is the molten core of right-wing thought everywhere.

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades

Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just relaxed export restrictions on AI chip manufacturers AMD and Nvidia.

Lutnick's family business empire holds a combined $1.1B stake in both companies.

"Conflict of interest" is an understatement.

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

But there remains a lot of skepticism toward the recent trend of billionaires buying up Hawaiian lands.

As more of the defunct sugarcane plantations that own huge slices of Hawaiian land begin offloading their assets, more new money billionaires have been buying in.

BREAKING: We’re suing to block the Trump-Vance admin’s unlawful restrictions on funding for programs focused on domestic violence, sexual assault, housing, youth & homelessness.

This is the latest in a series of attempts by this admin to weaponize federal funding to push their anti-equity agenda.

Starlink's connection speeds drop below the federal definition of "broadband" at a density of ~7 customers per square mile, according to recent research. The more the customers in an area, the slower everybody's connections get. Data shows that 83% of US Starlink customers get sub-broadband speeds.

Trump is illegally firing thousands of federal workers who have served our country in nonpolitical roles for years.

Join us to hear their federal workers’ stories, directly from them, about the impact of these attacks on the federal workforce and the American people.

The problem with this reasonable-sounding advice is that real ICE officers are not wearing uniforms and are refusing to show badges, identification warrants.
