Oh, it's actually working - good for the environment and supporting mass transit. Of course we need to abruptly shut it down. That's what we do in the FOTUS kingdom.

Not surprisingly, the Trump and GOP budget has nothing about no tax on tips, nothing on no tax on overtime, and nothing on no tax on social security. It does have a $4.5 trillion tax cut for billionaires however.

The protest rally today at Stonewall National Monument in NYC following yesterday's removal on its National Park Service website of references to Trans people (changing "LGBTQ+" to "LGB"). We won't allow the administration to attempt to erase Trans people - or anyone!

Last week, the website for the Stonewall National Monument in NYC referred the "LGBTQ+" community. Today, it refers to the "LGB" community. This government effort to deny the existence of the Trans community is hateful and immoral. Which letter will be eliminated next? www.nps.gov/ston/index.htm

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Maybe the prime minister holding a press conference with the leader of a third country saying he wanted to expel all Palestinians and take over Gaza as a territory was a bad idea for the ceasefire?

This is how trial balloons get sent up. FOTUS doesn't say it first, but has his minions do it for him. Musk is already saying that judges should be impeached. Expect to hear similar from Jim Jordan, Tuberville, etc. soon. They're rewriting the Constitution to support autocracy

I know this has already been litigated, but it's still insane to me that the press had a week-long Project 2025 news cycle and then Trump, in the most obvious lie in the history of earth, said "I'm not associated with that." And they just..... took his word for it

If you're not already following them, I find @justsecurity.org (based at the NYU School of Law) to be a very valuable curated source of information about FOTUS, the current administration, and all the lawsuits that have been filed in response to the Executive Orders.

If any social media post in 2025 deserves to go viral, it's this one. We are sitting by idly and watching a coup led by a figurehead felon and an immigrant oligarch. Far more compelling coverage of the news than anything in the corporate media today. Please read!

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Mentions of “lesbian,” “bisexual,” “gay,” “transgender,” “sexual orientation,” “gender identity,” and related terms are no longer accessible on WhiteHouse.gov, and the search term “LGBTQ” now brings up zero results on the site.
