Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

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

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

If anyone needs more proof that RAINN's choice to remove resources for trans people was a decision an NOT forced onto them, read this statement from the Sexual Violence Center which condemns RAINN's decision to remove this information. They say it was a deliberate choice and not required by law.

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

In response to the Trump administration illegally reversing approval of congestion pricing, New York City Comptroller Brad Lander released the following statement:

It's been *checks watch* 30 days and the FUCKING WHITE HOUSE is posting "long live the king" with Trump in a crown. What was it we said in 1776? Yes to kings and masters? 🤬🤬🤬 #NoKings #NoMasters #NoDictators

If you’re lucky to have a 401K or IRA or investments in index funds, talk to your fund managers. Try to get out of funds that invest in Musk companies. Or at least, have that conversation even if it’s not possible for you to pick your funds. Make noise that you don’t want to invest in his companies.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion to people who were cheated by big banks and credit card companies. So why are Trump and Musk gutting an agency that's returning money to people who were scammed? For them, this has never been about cutting costs.

Can we support Blake Gendebien to fill the role about to be vacated by Stefanik?

1. NEW: Not Just Stonewall: LGBTQ+ history webpages, mental health hotlines, and resources for the victims of CSAM and hate crimes are among the thousands of censored webpages identified by a custom tool I developed. I hope to document all .gov LGBTQ+ erasure. www.madycast.com/p/not-just-s...

It is shameful that RAINN, representing sexually abused people, erased trans people because they are scared of Trump. To any org censoring themselves: you cannot jettison trans to save yourself. Yes, if you don't, other groups may suffer, and you might too. But we are all in this together.

Donald Trump fired the people who make sure you and your parents get the health care you need. The people who make sure medical devices are safe for you to use. The people who approve the lifesaving drugs you rely on. How does this help working people?

#ICYMI: ProPublica has confirmed the names and roles of more than 30 Musk-affiliated staffers who are helping the world’s richest man dismantle or downsize federal agencies one by one.

Gov. Hochul: NYers are hurting & scared of what Trump-Musk are up to. We need leaders who fight, not traitors who profit from fascists. #MayorAdams isn't putting NYC first. He has broken his oath. But you have the power here. Hold #EricAdams to account—remove him ASAP. gothamist.com/news/will-go...

The fact that you see how wrong this all is, means your faculties are intact, your mind is fully right, and your heart is working properly; you still have a soul doing what souls are supposed to do: keep you deeply human in profoundly inhumane times. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-gasli...
