As a Philadelphian, it goes against everything I believe in to say good things about New York/New Yorkers. Makes my soul itchy tbh. But today? It is well earned. You did the damn thing, NYC. Thanks for giving the rest of us something that feels a little like hope.

Republicans are telling us they don’t have the money to feed hungry families, or provide healthcare to people depending on Medicaid. Meanwhile, the Pentagon gets a blank check. Join the next Mass Call to understand this moment and how you can take action: wfpus.org/healthcareno...

Not to scare people but the US Court of Appeals gave Trump last night the okay to send National Guard Troops to any city and any state as long as Trump can show the slightest bit of evidence that people "impeded the ability of federal officers to execute the laws." Trump will abuse this ruling.

Like, this is it. Right here. Americans are being denied their rights to free speech and expression. Their pursuit of happiness is criminalized. It doesn't hurt anyone and doesn't affect anyone either. The GOP employee bigots to spread lies and attack our freedoms. It's exhausting on purpose.

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come—and how much further we still have to go. It marks the moment freedom finally reached our people right here in Texas. Our people took what was withheld and built something powerful: resilience, pride, and a legacy we carry to this day. (1/2)

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

The Supreme Court is illegitimate. Not just because it is stolen, and it is, and not because it is corrupt, and it is, but because it is wrong and it does not represent the interests of the people. We have to get comfortable with unchaining ourselves from tradition, norms, and decorum.

My only hope is that, like the fall of Roe, this whips states into enshrining LGBTQ protections into their constitutions. I fear for people in Red states.

I'm so proud to announce that the audiobook for Dueling Shoulder Angels, The Devil You Know - Book 2, is available on Audible and Apple music. Please show it some love and review it! It's my partner's debut narration for Amy's chapters and I think they did an amazing job!

the LAPD should not exist, and to a person every one of them is evil. If you're LAPD and you're reading this, you're either evil for what you're doing or evil for what you refuse to stop. If you're not LAPD, i dunno, buy a dildo.

1. Trump has promised harsher ICE crackdowns on Truth Social. He blamed transgender people as the reason such crackdowns must happen. Particularly, he used the phrase "transgender for everybody," a phrase he has increasingly used to justify anything he wants. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

he can always and only double down forever this is going to be a nightmare, but what yesterday shows is it’s also going to be dramatically unpopular time for mayors to get ahold of their police departments rather than using them to try to crush the inevitable protests

I know this is controversial but I don't think we need to pay anybody to assault senior citizens. We can defund this 100%.

If passed, the SAVE Act would limit access to our democracy for millions of eligible voters. The House has already passed it, but the Senate can still stop it in its tracks. Tell your Senator to REJECT this bill in defense of our voting rights.
