The new administration has enacted policies that directly harm the LGBTQ+ community:
❌ Gender Definition EO: Federal docs now recognize only two sexes.
❌ Trans Military Ban
❌ Healthcare Restrictions: Medicaid & federal programs won’t cover gender-affirming care for minors.
JD said he wants more babies in the US and man I’m just really pleased that he agrees we need to pass federal paid leave, universal healthcare, universal preK, common sense gun laws to end school shootings, reverse our maternal mortality rate, and feed all the kids from 0-18. 🥰🥰🥰 what a guy!
Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense in modern history.
He should be rejected by the Senate.
Positively giddy knowing that Tr*mp is furious with Elon (not because he did a Nazi salute but) because he is dominating the headlines on Don’s big day. 🤭
When they try to excuse it, when they try to say we didn't see what we all saw, we'll make sure it is remembered.
Happy MLK Day.
Thank you 🪽🪽

New on MSNBC: Vice President Harris will fly back to Los Angeles today with an all-female U.S. Air Force crew — the first time an all-female crew has operated a C-33.
Upon landing, Harris will visit a local fire station and then distribute food to community members impacted by the wildfires.
Exhibit A:
Trump is expected to his first executive orders today, making sweeping changes to immigration, social policies, and more. Here’s what you need to know: 🧵 #executiveorders
It’s -5°, feels like -21° here in CO, record cold across the country. May Tr*mp’s fingers freeze off in DC so he can’t scribble his stupid little signature anywhere. 🫶🏻
It all feels like a family with a genuinely abusive family member choosing to just carry on with the holiday traditions, hoping to create normalcy through sheer will and denial.
I would rather chop my own hand off than watch any inauguration coverage. We’re choosing joy today instead. 🫶🏻

There’s an entire economy that we’ll lose if the app goes dark forever, and it’ll hurt the little guys even more than the mega influencers. #tiktokban
People dismissing the #tiktokban because they disdain influencers who make their livelihood on the app are:
1. Assholes
2. Missing the substantial impact on small businesses, authors, musicians, artists, educators, and so many other creators who have had their work amplified in life changing ways.
The Supreme Court upholding the TikTok ban feels like an ominous indicator of a new world order in the US.
What is the Attorney General? 🧵
1/ What does the Attorney General (AG) do?
The Attorney General leads the Department of Justice (DOJ), which enforces federal laws, oversees law enforcement, and ensures justice is applied equally. They’re often called the nation’s top lawyer. #AttorneyGeneral

👉🏻 Voting rights protections.

👉🏻 Immigration enforcement.
Their decisions shape our justice system and democracy. #AttorneyGeneral
You don't need the audio to know *exactly* how Hegseth was speaking to femme congresspeople yesterday - his body language says it all.
Women and queer folks will not be safe in the military under his leadership.
Take 5 minutes and call your reps today and ask them to vote NO on Hegseth for DoD.
Hegseth’s record is alarming:
1️⃣ He opposes women in combat and has a long history of anti-woman rhetoric.
2️⃣ He faces allegations of sexual misconduct and reckless behavior.
3️⃣ His leadership prioritizes partisanship over integrity.
This is not who we need at the Pentagon.
Feeling overwhelmed as Trump’s cabinet nominees head to Senate confirmation? Today’s hearing for Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, showed why he’s unfit to lead: a record of misogyny, misconduct allegations, and divisive leadership.
Here’s how you can fight back: 🧵

Pete Hegseth is unfit to serve as Secretary of Defense. His history of anti-woman rhetoric and reckless leadership makes him a dangerous choice.
