Hey folks, I have a HUGE request from the Trevor Project and would appreciate help getting the word out. Trevor is now recruiting for it's 2025 National Youth Survey. They need people 13-24, LGBTQ+, in the United States to take it. This research is critical to LGBTQ+ rights. Take it here:

"Because people who constantly transgress can’t function with the knowledge that they are immoral, they must believe—and teach—that everyone is just as corrupt as they are." That's what it's all about. New from @monacharen.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/whatabouti...

Adding ❌👑 to your display name isn't a performative social media act -- it's a commitment to show up, if you're physically able, to protest fascism on June 14. Find your local #NoKings protest here: www.nokings.org

ALPRs are “particularly ripe for abuse in an increasingly authoritarian US, full of lawmakers who want to control women’s bodies.”

🚨NEWS: The new top voting lawyer at the Department of Justice was until recently an attorney and activist for a leading anti-voting legal group that has worked for years to spread fear about illegal voting and press election officials to tighten voting rules. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

NEW: For the past two months, the Trump administration has been working with Palantir on a massive database of every American's private data, which could be used to go after Trump’s critics, blackmail elected officials, and much, much more.

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

Trump just nominated this guy to run the United States Office of Special Counsel. Only the best people.

The station that produced the episodes elected to take them down — despite previously having defended them.

We need an update... if this is still "home of the brave" we must start clarifying - "home of the brave WOMEN." We salute you, unknown Sister!

No Kings Day is just over two weeks away. While Trump wastes millions on his birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else on June 14 for a nationwide day of defiance. There are events planned in all 50 states — we hope to see you in the streets again: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

It’s embarrassing that we couldn’t learn the lesson from other countries: it takes decades to build effective state capacity, and every time you destroy that capacity it takes decades to regain it. Trump and Musk and friends have done generational damage to our society.

RFK Jr.’s War on Vaccines Is Here Anyone who thinks he’ll stop with COVID shots is deluding themselves. The time to raise hell is now.

REMINDER: The GOP is trying to gut life-saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts. If you’ve got a Republican senator, demand that they reject Trump’s Tax Scam and stand up for the families they were elected to serve: indivisible.org/reso...

AI could erase half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and hike unemployment to 10-20% within the next one to five years, warns Dario Amodei, CEO of one of the leading companies developing artificial intelligence. He says a looming job apocalypse is facing industries like finance, tech and law.

This. This is the point. Protesting against authoritarianism shouldn't be partisan. It's American. It's pro-democracy. It's pro-We The People. Democracy requires effort. Now is the time.

Amee is speaking truth. Every day Trump is moving closer to his goal of implementing martial law so he can turn the military against us. We must vote out EVERY GOP politician from local to federal if we are to win our country back!! open.substack.com/pub/shero/p/...

Tyler Hassen, a Texas oil executive from Elon Musk’s government efficiency team, has been given sweeping powers to overhaul the federal department that manages vast tracts of resource-rich public lands, but he hasn’t divested his energy investments ...

Free expression is a hallmark of the First Amendment. All our rights are in jeopardy when trans peoples’ freedom to exist is undermined.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did not release any scientific studies to support this change in policy. Of course.

Despite the desperate state of this nation and how dire the moment is, I still see a disturbing, widespread white procrastination right now: too many people seemingly waiting for a future moment they will step fully into the fray. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/white-frie...

Three weeks from right now, we will be taking to the streets across the country on No Kings Day. Over 1,000 events are planned in response to Trump’s $100 million birthday parade in DC. We hope you will join us on June 14: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

If you've been hearing people tell you to call your senators & you keep putting it off - today is the day to do it anyway. Trumps agenda cannot pass. They snuck in a castration of the courts ability to hold members of the executive branch in contempt. This is the LAST check on power that we have!

ICYMI: @davidpepperoh.bsky.social noticed a single sentence in the behemoth budget bill that has nothing to do with the budget, but everything to do with keeping Trump’s crime spree rolling without consequences. Watch on Lincoln Square to learn what it is: www.lincolnsquare.media/p/the-maga-m...

And Target. And Volvo. And Ross Stores. And Ford. And Stanley Black & Decker. ..

Buried deep in the text of the more than 1,000-page bill is a measure to restrict the federal courts’ authority to hold officials in contempt if they violate court orders.

As the Supreme Court tips its hand on its intent to officially overrule major precedent, it gifts Trump the all-powerful presidency of his dreams. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/supreme...

Freedom scares them. They want to stifle all resistance against their tyranny. The time to take to the streets is NOW. Find a protest near you. Mass protest movements are your last line of defense. Follow @generalstrikeus.bsky.social

“Trump’s reign may be so cataclysmic as to leave the US without the democratic institutions required to move beyond the disaster it creates. But if we succeed in keeping our nation from imploding between now & 2029, putting Trumpism behind us may be achievable.” AR open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

Trump's 'beautiful bill' is actually a declaration of war on working Americans. Here's what they're hiding 👇

The provisions in the MAGA Murder Budget are deeply unpopular, and will hurt the poor, the disabled, seniors, and working people the most. It is our obligation to fight this with everything we’ve got for everyone who cannot.
