The real president always keeps watch over his puppet

The UN World Food Programme outlined a $6B plan to fight world hunger. If you're serious, a man of your means can connect with them and make it happen. Your move, Mark. The world is watching.

The National Park Service just took down Marsha P. Johnson's page. www.nps.gov/people/marsh...

Reminder: you can get the HPV vaccine with insurance right now. Can't say for how long that'll last. Rectal cancer sucks!

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Trump and Elon have unleashed people become the worst cruelest versions of themselves. www.latintimes.com/11-year-old-...

The Times spoke to people being trapped inside a Panama hotel after deportation from the US and the individual stories of horror are almost too much to bear www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

This executive order is Trump taking down democracy as we know it. The system has been fucked for a while, but this is a full-scale power grab. Frightening

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

When “doing your own research” means Googling the cost of child-size coffins

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

People who write about "this is the wrong fight to pick," never ever actually fight for anything. Feel free to ignore them.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

We now have a certified & apostilled copy of our marriage license for legal protection & visa applications. If marriage equality is overturned, this helps safeguard our rights. It also supports "family unity" visas when only one of us qualifies. Our first consulate appointment is 2 weeks from today.

Scientists fear that Trump’s DEI crackdown will reshape who can participate in science for years to come, drain creativity, limit the scope of projects, and lead to worse research. “It is common sense that to have the best science, we need the broadest, most inclusive environment."

I am part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Anyone using just LGB is not—they ignore the trans people who fought for our rights, the same rights under attack today. The NPS erasing trans people from Stonewall’s history is disgusting. Trans people were there. They fought back. They will not be erased.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

Maybe it's just me, but Republicans having two daddies seems kind of woke. -@acnewsitics

Measles and polio right now after RFK Jr. was confirmed by the senate.

NEW: The Trump/Musk war on USAID & foreign aid has halted family planning/reproductive health programs round the world. That means more unintended pregnancies and...more abortions. One estimate: More than a million "unsafe" abortions in the coming months. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Anyone trying to erase the history of the holocaust is trying to repeat it

Courts *ordered* the Trump admin to stop its spending freeze Yet ProPublica found place after place where $ is still frozen -hot meals for elderly and disabled -groceries for those in need -maternal & child health services -a clinic that serves the poor www.propublica.org/article/trum...

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

The fact that this isn't satire 🫠

The horrors persist but so do-- wait, is that another horror? there are more horrors? Anyhow like i was saying, the horrors persist but HOLY SHIT MORE HORRORS? WTF MAN

Happy Sportsball Day to all who celebrate! May your snacks be plentiful, your commercials entertaining, and your team (or betting square) victorious. Just a reminder that the NFL is a capitalist juggernaut enriching billionaires while players wreck their bodies. But hey, enjoy the game!

This is heartbreaking. However this is exactly what Trump and his people have intended by targeting this community and you cannot convince me otherwise. In May of 1933 Nazis burned a tremendous amount of queer and trans history in Berlin.

It would behoove everybody to think of this week as a declaration of war. One thing to keep in mind: wars are not won by brute force alone, they're won by psy-ops & demoralizing our morale. Please reasses information you read from the point of view: why does it benefit the enemy if I believe this?

Listen, I know this might make me a bad person... but unless Mitch McConnell falls and it results in a permanent dirt nap, I don’t need updates.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

Our coalition has grown rapidly, now standing strong with over 92,000 federal employees. We are united by our oath and our commitment to hold the line. Every day, more of us are being targeted simply for speaking the truth to America.

America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸

Remember, yes, you are likely taking a risk with every post you make. Who knows HOW crazy and unlawful they are going get, going after perceived enemies. I'll just say this: Without people willing to take risks...nothing notable or meaningful has ever happened in world history. If not us....who?

Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man. Elon is dumb man's idea of a smart man. Hegseth is a cowards idea of a brave man. RFKJr is a brain worm's idea of a healthy man. And right now, the USA is an evil man's idea of a just country.

In case you were wondering…

Trump's baseless claims about the tragic plane collision in Washington, DC are not surprising—they are a pattern. In the past, he also boosted false and disproven claims in the aftermath of terrorist attacks, a national pandemic, police brutality, and natural disasters. Here is the timeline:

Fact checking RFK Jr.: No, antidepressants are not harder to quit than heroin.

Dozens of people died in a plane crash and Trump's reaction was to personally capitalize on it, despite being the responsible party for aviation safety being compromised. Trump needs to be judicially removed or step down, his failures won't end with just 68 victims.
