The Republican Party has chosen to fight poverty by killing off all the poor people.

We all knew it was... Catch up, Mr. President. 🙄

Happy Pride Month! I like to remind everyone that Pride is a protest. Sometimes it is falsely painted as a celebration. But, this year, we need to remember the roots of Pride. Many people in the US are under attack, queer and otherwise. Our existence is resistance! #strongertogether ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🩷🤍🩵

To all the Latino Trump supporters, when he said that he was going to deport all the criminals, rapists, gang bangers, he meant YOU. Because that is how he sees you—what he thinks of you. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been here, what you’ve contributed. You’re brown, that’s all that matters…

Kamala Harris on “the big, beautiful bill:” “It’s an agenda...a narrow, self-serving vision of America...where they punish truth tellers, favor loyalists, profit from their power, and leave everyone else to fend for themselves.” Nailed it! 🔥

1. California will now give consolation spots to cisgender girls in finals who lose to trans girls. This comes after a vote by CA's sports authority. Newsom has expressed support for the move. It is a remarkable capitulation to Trump. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

wow. california.

Let's help Ventura, CA get a push toward being a trans sanctuary city. I don't live there, but the more support we can give each other, the better. They already have some support in their city. Let's show people on the fence that we matter. For info: venturatranssanctuary.org To sign⬇️

While we're at it, let's keep government out of ALL decisions that should only be made between doctors and their patients. Party of small government my butt 🤬🤬

Concise. Well-structured. Non-partisan. Kind. This is what messages from the office of the President should look like. And, honestly, I don't even care if it's not sincere in its own right, as long as the President respects their country, title, and citizens enough to be kind in their messaging.

But don't ya know? Deals are always made on the golf course. Obviously, golfing is in the best interest of America. 🙄

My Mom's pancreatic cancer was brushed off as 'stress'. My severe protein losing enteropathy was blamed on 'weight gain' My post operative hysterectomy abscess was me being 'dramatic' and 'hysterical'. Very nearly lost my life to that one. Listen to women.

So much of reactionary centrism is the belief that you can be a "polite bigot" and not enable fascism. They want their transphobia, racism, and sexism but hold the authoritarianism. The problem is that authoritarian movements are built on bigotry. www.semafor.com/article/05/2...

So many signatories of the Harper’s Letter have been silent on pulling all published research with the word “transgender,” the national ban on orgs acknowledging transgender people, and the threatening of teachers who use trans people’s names. Almost like free speech is not what they cared about.

I miss sanity… I miss the truth… I miss decency… I miss democracy… I miss restful sleep… I miss not fighting the urge to vomit every time I hear his wretched voice… I miss my faith in kindness and goodness and in American values and humanity… How about you?! 🤚

West Point graduates this morning sat through a commencement speech about having courage given by a treasonous convicted felon who also happens to be a 5x draft dodging coward who has never served anyone but himself. Depraved, despicable and embarrassing.

Abortion bans cause dead women to be intubated and forcibly kept alive against the family wishes. And the family pays for it.

People who put their religious beliefs ahead of our Constitution and facts and science should not be allowed to hold public office in America.

Take all the time you need with this because you’ve got 3½ more years to ponder: If you sat out the 2024 election, you voted against your own interests too— by way of abstention.

I gave A LOT of grace during his first term, because I thought maybe people were naive, uninformed, or surprised by his choices. Now, if you support everything this administration is doing, you are a bad person. How bad may be up for debate, but you certainly aren't my friend. #staystrong 🩷🤍🩵

JUST IN: Zelensky is currently holding a meeting with Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Rubio Zelensky is also scheduled to speak with Trump tomorrow.

We are nothing to them. Nothing. apnews.com/article/preg...

Supreme Court extends block on deportations under Alien Enemies Act.

Being able to be openly harassed accomplished the same goal: get rid of people you don't like, regardless of their ability or work performance. Awful 🤬

1. Far right federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has just vacated all EEOC protections for gay and trans people in the work place. He says protections from "being fired" do not mean they are protected from harassment by Title VII. I cover this insane ruling here. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Watch this! 👀. ⬇️⬇️ AOC claps back at Republicans: "I will not yield to disrespectful men." #USDemocracy

The Trump administration fired nearly 600 employees at Voice of America a federally funded news outlet known for delivering independent reporting to countries where press freedom is restricted.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

Do you ever think about how easy it is to be a white Republican? Like, do nothing. “Fight for the unborn” and then damn them to hell the second they emerge from the birth canal. No need to lift a finger to do anything else. Put on a cross and a fake smile. Easy peasy.

Want to keep women out of professional roles, away from education, and dependent on men? Get rid of one of the biggest resources for women's healthcare across the nation. Planned Parenthood was there for me when I was worried about STIs, and treated me with compassion. #SavePlannedParenthood
