BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

Tonight, I introduced legislation to stop Trump from from leading us into an illegal war with Iran. Another war in the Middle East could cost countless lives, waste trillions more dollars, and lead to even more deaths, more conflict, and more displacement.

Reading the Supreme Court decision, I think back to what I wrote with sociologist Blu Buchanan. Attacks on gender-affirming care are fundamentally rooted in white supremacy. Attacks on trans people are part of a broad-ranging agenda of reconfiguring society to better serve white supremacy.

The law is clear. Members of Congress have the authority to conduct oversight at any facility, unannounced. The Administration knows that. They break the law and bypass Congressional authority because they do not want us to see the cruelty behind these doors.

These soulless people see this as a lucrative business for “doing what they love” (his words not mine.) You know who else had that same energy? Slave catchers in the late 17th and 18th centuries.

Sen Reed to Hegseth: You pledged to be transparent. Yet, you haven't held a single press conference at the Pentagon. Instead, you evicted news outlets, restricted press access, and searched for leaks within your own staff, even threatening polygraph tests. This is a disservice to the American people

Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people. These bastards want us all dead.

The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.

how can you be charged with (let alone convicted of) interfering with an officer if the officer isn't wearing a uniform or a badge? to put the same question another way: how can you resist being kidnapped in these United States without running the risk of being charged with resisting an officer?
