Thou shalt not pretend that you're at war with drug traffickers while pardoning drug traffickers.

Any man who calls a woman “piggy” is a fucking pig. Any man in a position of power who calls a woman “piggy” is a cowardly, misogynistic, weak, fucking pig.

For the generals yesterday, resistance meant total silence. And I thank them for it. But for the rest of us, silence is cowardice. Silence in the face of this daily onslaught against democracy, the rule of law, pluralism, the Constitution, and basic human decency is utter cowardice.

How did you grow up in Chicago
with your own Abuela, Oma, Tita, Babcia, Bubbie...
and end up anti-immigrant?

The delusion is real.

Another win today!! Women and DEI 🥰🙌. Thank you #ACOG
We need others to follow suit.
Don’t bend. They won’t break us if we stand TOGETHER!!

It was a BLUE wave in my town!

Just here to say that the statute of limitations for treason and espionage is longer than felon47 will be president for.

Y’all can say nobody’s doing anything all day long… But there’s a reason they all look so afraid

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.

Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

This is powerful.

Thanks to Trump’s insane economic policies, it looks like we’re heading to yet another Republican recession.

Same here. It's inflammatory out there. Sending love ❤️

Sending love and hugs ❤️

If you're advocating for racism, you're a racist.

If you're advocating for eugenics, you're a racist.

If you're advocating for racists to get hired or rehired by the government, you're a racist.

Hope that clears things up.

The Law and Order party? More like the Crime and Chaos party! Am I right, folks?

On January 20, the White House issued an executive order stating that the United States government will only recognize two sexes, male and female, as defined “at conception.” The ripple effect of this order will undoubtedly affect public schools, public libraries, and the literature that is shelved in both. Among the many harms it causes, the order targeting transgender, intersex, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming Americans threatens unconstitutional censorship that could have a grave impact on literature for years to come. In dismissing trans, intersex, and nonbinary identities, the order blacklists LGBTQIA+ literature and invites the government to dictate the perspectives, beliefs, and identities that can exist in public forums receiving federal funding, amounting to financial coercion through the arbitrary withholding of funds. This censorship may begin with LGBTQIA+ perspectives, but it will not end there: allowing the government to censor one group erodes the First Amendment rights of all Americans, creating a precedent for silencing dissenting voices.

If allowed to stand, the order will create new funding requirements imposed not only on federal entities, but private citizens and institutions who contract with them. Those requirements can and will be manipulated to dictate speech. The broader chilling effect on literature could be even harder to undo. Writers rely on funding from sources like the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities, as well as the state-level institutions they fund. Trans, nonbinary, and intersex experience is vastly underrepresented in literature but disproportionately targeted by bans. During the 2022-2023 school year, 30% of books banned included LGBTQIA+ characters or themes. Such censorship robs us of perspectives that enrich the American story. Though the executive order in question tries to paint LGBTQIA+ people and allies as bullies enforcing their perspective on others through “legal and other socially coercive means,” that’s exactly what the order itself does, just as book-banning pressure groups have done since 2020 in school boards and libraries around the country. The fate of trans, intersex, and nonbinary people is not a political ideology, it’s a matter of human rights, civil rights, and freedom of expression. Government erosion of those rights should concern all Americans, regardless of their investment in LGBTQIA+ literature specifically.

This executive order is censorship, pure and simple, and it has no place in a free society. It must be rescinded or stayed as soon as possible, and at the latest, before the earliest implementation deadline, February 19, 2025. Financially blacklisting trans, intersex, and non-binary perspectives will rob us of a vital literature yet to be written while insulting the dignity of LGBTQIA+ people everywhere. This return to McCarthyism by other means is a leap backwards to a grim chapter of American history.

Statement on the Trump Administration’s January 20, 2025
Executive Order Targeting Transgender, Intersex, Nonbinary, and Gender-Nonconforming Americans:

Leave science alone!

Trump is so predictable:

Step 1 — Create artificial crisis.

Step 2 — Make phone call.

Step 3 — Announce end of crisis.

Step 4 — Declare victory.

Don't call it a "detention camp" at Guantanamo.

It's a CONCENTRATION CAMP.

Unconstitutional executive orders are political maneuvers designed to appease cult supporters on issues that #47 couldn't pass through Congress—only to be blocked by the courts, wasting taxpayer dollars in the process. Got it.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Having fun in my studio this morning making stickers 😁

Don't ever forget the rage. Keep a monument to it deep in your heart; not to worship, but to remind yourself of your own power to survive. Plant flowers around it and make a promise to keep that rage from being reborn in the next generation.

BREAKING: A federal judge temporarily blocked President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship.

We will keep fighting until this order is blocked for good.
