this is who they pardoned. This is what they condone.

I think he is the most evil of all of them for he truly believes in this mission.

they never will say it until it is too late. I call on my friends who work for this paper in other departments to do the right thing. the time is now.

as a queer performer from the 90s, these are the kind of people who tried to take over from us. here we are

of course they do and it is not lawful. State that in your headline.

Hey folks - we don't have to go through some period where we pretend that this is isn't racist , sexist, homophobic, transphobic. We don't have to pretend for one minute. This is an administration that is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, disability phobic. do better and name it.

doesn't 'seem'. it is. they are firing people because they are black or a woman.. Name it

Musk hates women and minorities as does Trump. Again, Let's stop being coy about all of this. coy gets us all killed. Also the original sin is that Musk hates that his daughter is trans. This is all a personal vendetta playing out as a coup. Again, stop being coy.

I think the absolute lack of joy, goodness, grace, kindness will be the downfall of this administration. I don't think people want to hear people say "A lot of people are going to lose their jobs" in response to a Governor supporting trans people.

let's not be coy - they fired them because he was black and she was a woman. No other reason

I will post only once more about this tonight. Whitman-Walker is how I am Erin. I hold this name because of the resources they provided the trans community. I hope what I have written tonight gives them pause, and all orgs who would do this. Because the wave has hit home and I can’t stand quiet.

cmon @nytimes.com you can say it. He fired her BECAUSE she is a woman.

On a Friday night Hegseth factually said his goal was to punish a qualified Black person “protecting” the nation And folks saw it coming and did NOTHING And there’s no actual damn plan for better For mutual aid and not a SINGLE commitment to Black people

Imagine being such a small sad white man that you have to explicitly say these things. Monster

another royalty statement, another $33. what a world

" Folks! What can I tell you about my next guest? This cat allowed himself to be adored, but not loved. And his success in show business was matched by failure in his personal relationship bag, now - that's where he really bombed."

the ‘we had to abandon trans people to preserve funding’ thing is so funny to me. yeah man i’m sure Goebbels von Ethnostate will be persuaded to maintain PrEP funding by your complete and utter capitulation

arguably the biggest trans actress in hollywood has been detransed by our govt. where is the outcry

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

He's gonna fuck up every single independent creator who depends on the mail for their business. Call your reps and tell them you didn't vote for Trump to destroy your business. reps.fyi

think of it this way - we will all be dead by the end of March.

this is absolute madness. monsters

While I'm at it and it's early, I'll also say that FAFO discourse doesn't feel good to me at all. I think that the people who will find out the most are the same people who are always finding out: the most marginalized. I also think that it destroys potential solidarity and solidarity is needed now.

State governments should cut off all state and local cooperation with the FBI, and they should do it immediately. No law requires it, the Constitution fully empowers you to not even return their calls. But there is no legitimate purpose now in treating them as an acceptable partner for anything.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

please make AOC the head of the shadow government.

every Democrat that threw trans people under the bus have blood on their hands. Trans rights are human rights.

So, Trump is King now? OK, OK, OK.

my father died of Alzheimer's. These people are monsters

we are good and cooked

In 90s San Francisco, we protested everything. Fun Fact - Gilbert Baker, the creator of the gay flag, hijacked our benefit at the Women's Building for Dennis Perron when he was arrested (head of NORML) and danced to all seven remixes of Madonna's Vogue under threat of destroying the set he built.

i wish there was a single democrat who was like "we were wrong to throw the trans community under the bus and here is how we are going to try to help now" but as far as I can tell there is no one in government.

they never learn. Unless you have a concrete plan to protect the trans community, the gay community, the black community etc etc etc you will fail. throwing us under the bus is not the plan to win.

they are coming for all of us.

Per the webinar today: the answer is there is no point in applying. They are rolling over for these extralegal anti-“D/E/I” measures and, what’s more, forcing any recipient to sign a contract promising not to engage in any D/E/I activities for decades.

Wear a mask

sometimes I put on extremely loud and Incredibly close

thank you for doing all you do and I'm sorry our democracy let you down.You are a true human.

how did this happen and every Democrat in office didn't talk about it? I am starting to think the whole government is racist. Oh wait.

he methodically plotted out 14 flags and did it at 1:14 but Democrats think "this is normal politics"?

We need younger Democrats because it is an adrenaline rush to fight Nazis but they don't have the energy to even make a strong statement. Like the effort to make a statement takes too much energy

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

this is heartbreaking.

what is a country if you have a nazi and his proxy children accessing all of our data? What is the end game?

I really wish they had allowed the "these people are weird" push to continue because it might have actually broken through to people that the things they are trying to push through are actually regressive and weird? IDK, I'm not a Democrat party consultant.

where is any caring human that would stand up and say this is not what a sane society should be enabling?

i don't know how all of this Nazi stuff is permeating 2025 politics and it goes undiscussed or worse, ignored. Like no one in a sane society calls their corruption problems the name of Hitler's book.

this is chilling.
