Bee (they/them)

Jeff Bezos has enough money to send Katy Perry and Gayle King on a joyride to space for 11 minutes.

He can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

Senate Majority Leader Thune is now pushing to KILL the estate tax in the Republican tax plan.

A full repeal of the estate tax would amount to a $2.7 TRILLION tax break for billionaires.

That's trillions either straight to the deficit or cut from working people.

Unacceptable.

It's always nice to be reminded that we exist.

Now, what will you do?

It’s so eerie to me when someone’s whole brand is self-help/self-betterment and they never, ever mention politics.

The Democratic establishment regularly ignores their base.

This is just another instance of ignoring the will of the people.

If Dems ever get power again - assuming free and fair elections (big assumption) - they will never again have the excuse of “we can’t pass laws through congress and the president is powerless.”

Presidency is now a king level position capable of law by EO alone apparently.

Judge Blocks Texas A&M Drag Ban: Trump Executive Orders "Cannot Override" First Amendment The Texas A&M Board banned an LGBTQ+ group from holding a drag event on campus. A federal judge has ruled they must be allowed to proceed with the event.

1. Huge! Texas A&M's drag ban is blocked. A&M argued that Trump's recent EO on trans people mandated a drag ban, and also argued that drag is obscene.

A Bush-appointed judge replied that Trump's EOs "cannot override the first amendment," and that drag is art.

Big Pharma is suing to stop Medicare from lowering prescription drug costs.

They keep hiking the price of life-saving medications.

And now they're asking Trump for a tax break that could hand them $15 billion.

And he's probably going to give it to them.

The system is broken.

DO NOT GO IN THE US.

If the government shuts down this weekend, the only people to blame are Trump and Musk.

They're abusing every power they can to attack services working people need—and Social Security is next.

They want everyone to happily vote for a CR that lets them do more damage.

No way.

congrats questing queens!!!

DOGE “seemed unsure” of what USAID programs they cut and is now attempting to reverse some of the cuts, says @propublica.org reporter Brett Murphy. “This is the opposite of a careful review."

You've read the stories about Gavin Newsom throwing transgender people under the bus in sports, prisons, and gender affirming care for trans youth.

Now watch the video and listen.

It's as bad as it sounds. He betrayed trans people and threw us under a bus driven by Charlie fucking Kirk.

Hey Washington, be sure to ask @gluesenkampperez.house.gov why she voted to censure Al Green. She’s up for re-election in 2026 and I sure would like to know why she forgot she ran as a Democrat.

Seen in Louisville, KY.

The terms of the Executive Orders are extraordinarily vague and could prohibit Plaintiffs from engaging in any targeted effort to help a specific group of people facing unfair disadvantages. The Executive Orders equate banned "DEIA" with any equity-related work— potentially including work that is specifically authorized or required by civil rights laws-and explicitly prohibit references to "DEI and DEIA principles, under whatever name they may appear." Without any discernible standards or criteria of what is and what is not "dangerous, demeaning," "immoral," and "illegal" DEIA,' as understood by this Administration, the future of Plaintiffs' fiscal viability and programming are subject to the unfettered discretion of an Administration that has made clear its predisposition against any speech or action that advances equal opportunity for historically marginalized groups, including people of color, women, LGBTQ people, and/or people with disabilities. Such vague terms without sufficient standards or criteria deprive Plaintiffs of their due process rights under the Fifth Amendment. 9. In addition to violating Plaintiffs' free speech and due process rights, the Executive Orders have a clear discriminatory purpose in violation of equal protection: to malign the targeted communities; to undermine and dismantle a wide spectrum of policies, programs, and activities intended to help historically marginalized, underserved, and under-resourced groups; and to erase transgender people from public life.

REQUEST FOR RELIEF Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court grant the following relief: A. A declaration pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2201 that Executive Order Nos. 14151, 14168, and 14173 and any implementing agency actions are unlawful, unconstitutional, and invalid. A permanent injunction enjoining Defendants, their officials, agents, employees, assigns, and all persons acting in concert or participating with them from implementing or enforcing Executive Order Nos. 14151, 14168, and 14173, including without limitation the promulgation of any rules or regulations, in any manner against Plaintiffs by way of contract, subcontract, purchase order, grant, or sub-grant. C. A permanent injunction mandating that Defendants permanently rescind all agency-wide directives implementing and effectuating Executive Order Nos. 14151, 14168, and 14173 against Plaintiffs that were issued prior to this injunction. D. A permanent injunction mandating that Defendants unwind, rescind, strike, modify, or otherwise rectify contracts, subcontracts, agreements, and/or any other such binding documents entered into with Plaintiffs, in which terms, clauses, or provisions have been inserted pursuant to or in furtherance of Executive Order Nos. 14151, 14168, and 14173.

BREAKING: Nonprofits sue over Trump's anti-diversity, anti-trans executive orders, alleging they violate the First Amendment & equal protection guarantees, are void for vagueness, exceed the president's authority, & violate the Administrative Procedure Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Exactly what I was thinking might happen. Their anti-trans animus is infecting other cases. Trump is biting off too much too fast.

My hope is that all of this factors into some of the fence-sitting justices on SCOTUS for big upcoming cases.

They told you 87,000 IRS agents were going to audit you and break down your door to arrest you.

That was a lie.

Now they handed your tax data to the richest man in the world, who's on a mission to extract the most money possible from the American people.

Bait and switch.

Republicans are trying to cut $2 TRILLION from families to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.

Here's what they're considering:

—Kicking millions off of Medicaid
—Raising grocery costs for 40 million
—Raising average student loan payment by $200 a month

Really.

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked.

Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care.

And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care!

AMAZING

PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana.

For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5.

I love your content! I hate that so much of my community has gotten sidetracked…again. Hoping we all wake up and see the bigger picture sooner rather than later.

Say it with me folks: this is a concentration camp

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.

This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on!

Huge win for trans people in MT!

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Having Samuel L Jackson narrate as Uncle Sam was pure genius. I just absolutely love intelligent storytellers and that is exactly what Kendrick is.

a man dressed as uncle sam with the words it 's your uncle above him Alt: a man dressed as uncle sam with the words it 's your uncle above him

Kendrick just explained in detail what it's like to be Black [and an entertainer/artist] in America. If your biggest takeaway is his beef with Drake, you missed the point.
