On a Monday night when most cities go quiet, Charlotte packed a church wall to wall for Siembraโ€™s resistance training. As Jacob Soboroff noted, people donโ€™t usually show up like this โ€” but Charlotte did. When federal agents came, the community came louder๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

They thought they could hide a six-figure โ€œthank youโ€ gift to GOP Senators in the fine print.
Nope.

Democrats and Republicans joined forces โ€” 426โ€“0 โ€” to blow up Thuneโ€™s secret payout scheme.

A bipartisan hell no to political self-dealing.๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Trump signs bill directing Justice Department to release Epstein files Despite Trumpโ€™s signature, the legislation calling for the release of the files includes major loopholes. The department has said little about its plans.

Heard a commercial for Natural Cycle today.

it's a fertility tracking app to let you know what days a month a menstruating female can get pregnant on.

Bc they're coming for birth control.

Don't subscribe to this.

GLAAD (@glaad.bsky.social) "If there is one thing you can do in observance of Transgender Awareness Week this year, it is this: Take a moment to learn about transgender peopleโ€”not the political talking points, not theโ€ฆ

Transgender Awareness Week is more than recognition of how far we have come, but also a reminder to learn about and celebrate the community that too often gets minimized into political talking points.

The Department of Education is proposing a definition that could strip nurse practitioners and CRNAs of โ€œprofessional degreeโ€ status.

Chiropractors keep it. Nurses risk losing it. And that change would fall hardest on women in healthcare.

This is political and it is sexist.

Women have been highlighting equality and equity disparities in healthcare for some time.

Disturbing to see 3 stories in as many days about the continued decline and outright failure of our systems to care for Black women, particularly in maternal healthcare.

Jessica Tarlov just torched the GOPโ€™s โ€œEpstein hoaxโ€ spin on live TV. She pulled the receipts: Trump is named over 1,000 times, while the so-called Jeffries โ€œlinkโ€ is nothing but a random fundraising email with zero meeting, zero donation, zero connection.

The truth is not on their side.

We saw this on the door of our favorite Mexican restaurant tonight! Great way to protect the restaurant from ICE. If they remove their masks and enter they will become famous due to our phones.

Social Security scraps plan to limit disability benefits after uproar The policy would have fundamentally altered who qualifies for the two federal disability programs by eliminating or limiting a personโ€™s age as a factor to consider.

Immigrants help feed and build our communities, they enrich our lives. I agree with Rep Swalwell (D-CA) we donโ€™t need a Ivy League, investment banker nepo congressman like Rep Gill (R-TX) telling us we need more laws to deport people when DHS already doesnโ€™t follow the law.

Lindsey Graham made phone calls to GA officials to find votes for his BFF. You better believe his phone needed to be investigated. He should have been indicted in Fulton County, GA but slithered out of it. Have a seat Lindsey and shut your mouth.
