"It makes me sick to think of him profiting from such vile hate.”

Get in the game, there's something for absolutely everyone to do.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

How federal judges are blocking Trump’s abuses of power; Judge Ho probes Trump DOJ corruption; SCOTUS deals Trump a setback; a judge nearly finds Trump admin in contempt & more. Legal AF is LIVE 8PM ET / 5PM PT. Tune in!

Trans people have a right to identification that accurately represents who we are. We've taken President Trump to court to block the policy preventing trans people like Hunter from receiving passports with correct gender markers.

NZHerald [Feb 21] Maine Dem Gov Janet Mills in fiery Wht Hs exchange: T: Is the gov. of ME here? M: Yeah I'm here. T: Are you not gonna comply? M: I'm going to comply with state & federal law T: You better bc you're not gonna get any fed funding... M: See you in court [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

All of our service members – including trans service members – keep us safe and that’s why I’ll do everything I can to keep them safe. Thank you to the patriots of SPARTA Pride for talking with me about what it’s like as a trans person currently serving in our military.

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.

ErinReed [Feb 20] -- Despite ferocious govt assault the US is queerer than ever. Gallup finds nearly 1-in-ten adults are LGBTQ+ (9.3%), nearly double 2020. Trans is up 50% to 1.3% in just 2 yrs from 0.9% in 2023. And among Gen Z, nearly 1-in-4 (23%) are LGBTQ+! [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

Trump looks weak and erratic—selling out to Russia, attacking Zelenskyy, and throwing workers under the bus. Markets are rattled, his approval is crashing, and his MAGA cronies are overstepping. Watch the MeidasTouch Podcast live at 8p ET/5p PT!

Q: “If the goal of these cuts is to lower the debt, why fire people at the IRS whose job is to raise revenue?” Almost like that’s not actually the goal! 🤷🏻 Again: they 💵 do 💵 not 💵 care 💵 about 💵 the 💵 debt 💵 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGTl3Nm...

"For those who do not have community (and for those who do), I would offer that a pod of a few or more people can help in the interim and especially in the years to come. A pod is made up of the people that you would turn to for support." - @miamingus.bsky.social www.soiltjp.org/blog/pods-fo...

President Trump’s immigration policies impact real people and families who have been robbed of certainty and control over their futures. Learn more about how the Trump administration’s immigration policies are impacting people across the country.

So for those keeping score at home: FOX & even NEWSMAX are backing the AP against Trump’s ban Yet ZERO media outlets have spoken up for us here in Tennessee, where Speaker Sexton bans us from pressers and the (AP-chaired) press corps unanimously votes against us 🤔

I keep saying that he is NOT popular. I'll add that some of these polls show him underwater on the economy which even when he was at his lowest in the first term folks who were Apprentice pilled still gave him good marks on the economy.

Musk: “If the central pillar of western civilization that is 🇺🇸 falls, the whole roof comes crashing down, and there is no escape.” This sound like a threat to anyone else?🫤

WashPo [con't.] -- Depth of support for Trump 2.0 is also weaker than the opposition. Those who "strongly oppose" outnumber those who "strongly support" by a solid 10% -- by 37% to 27%. [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

Imagine being such a whiney little thin skinned dick that you use government resources like this

“But people will eventually accept it, even if it’s unpopular” is a comment I saw so many times this morning. That’s what we call a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is your moment. Galvanize and organize people who are unhappy. Don’t make them feel helpless to stop it by saying no one will stop it.

Recently we released a guide on how to testify for trans rights, and we are also hosting an online training bringing many of these tools to life. Join us next Tuesday for an actionable training on fighting for trans rights with testifying. Register here: action.transequality.org/a/how-testif...

Facts....

Republican CONGRESS: KNOW THIS: Approval ratings are tanking. The people are fuming while you stand by and LET it happen. Create a bill throwing Musk out and let it pass. Stand Up or prepare to be screamed at by your constituents until your term is up and you are fired. Use your power!

Congress, Don’t Pass The Tax Cut on Billionaires No Matter WHAT!! Don’t let them privatize The S Security!! Don’t let them cut Medicare!! Don’t bend over- STAND UP AND SHUT THEM DOWN!! Grift!!

WATCH: “What are you going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House?” An @reprichmccormick town hall in a red GEORGIA district erupts in cheers - then boos loudly as he tries to invoke Biden and both-sides Trump’s actions. Full video: www.instagram.com/reel/DGUf45s...

If they are speaking, they are lying. If they are posting, they are lying. If they’re being interviewed, they are lying. They ARE planning to cut Medicare They ARE going after S Security They ARE going to cause inflation They ARE going to screw our vets They ARE coming for YOU FUCK TUSK!

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Tom Homan’s obsession with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a political miscalculation. This could be the opening Democrats need to re-engage Latinos who have been waiting for someone to stand up.

I went slumming on X for a bit. There’s group with accounting expertise that are investigating DOGE’s fraud claims. Misrepresentation of ‘fraud’ findings. More than once the statement was made that DOGE,rather than finding fraud,is committing it.

The U.S. has been the strongest supporter of Ukraine in its war with Russia. Yet with a series of blunt comments, President Trump now sounds more aligned with Russia than Ukraine.

I understand that their goal is to harm a lot of marginalized people. We each need to do what we can to protect the vulnerable. I really get this and ALSO I just need as many people as possible who are able to do so to notice that these people are pathetic. They truly are. Just ridiculous.

I mean this. When Shillace’s book comes available, everyone should read it. One of the most incredible histories of the rise of fascism in Germany and the trans people who lived there. The stories are incredible and the things she uncovered are indispensable.

Republicans in Congress are complicit, cowards, and collaborators. They are guilty.
