Are there any Black women left with MSNBC shows?

Word

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

For whatever it may be worth, I'm a fan of JB Pritzker's work. And right now, he's an elected Dem saying "we don't have kings in America and I don't intend to bend the knee to one" when far too many motherfuckers are auditioning for Vichy roles

How is it we are in a timeline where Mike Pence is the only GOP figure speaking truth to Putin’s pet POTUS?

Counting down the days until the white house conditions access on how trans people are referred to or how democrats are referred to. This fight isn't really about the name of a coastal sea.

Concentration camps, complete disregard for the Constitution, Trump outright calling himself a king....what is it going to take? The politicians aren't going to save us. We have to save ourselves. How do we do that?

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

huh I wonder if there's any historical precedent for sending large numbers of people to camps far outside the center of the state

The chilling opening lines of a horror story.

It is horrifying watching the government erase a demographic in real time and most people just not really caring.

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.

And again would like to point out that YET AGAIN it’s a strong educated WOMAN that is pissing Trump off. HE hates women, AOC KEEP FIGHTING WE GOT YOU

PSA: Words matter They aren’t “layoffs” It’s not about “efficiency”

This is the ultimate result of a hate campaign against the trans community. Depraved violence and murder against our community. archive.ph/G4U6J

IN DIPLOMATIC BREAKTHROUGH?!?!?! Trump is dumping migrants from Afghanistan, China, India, Iran and Uzbekistan, and Cameroon in PANAMA and CBS frames it as a diplomatic breakthrough. U.S. deporting African and Asian migrants to Panama in diplomatic breakthrough www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

Dear the rest of the world: You should absolutely not see the US as reliable for anything at this point, shit, none of us on the inside think we're reliable for anything right now either, you're definitely not alone

I've been able to brush off most of the erasure of trans people from government websites, but this one is REALLY getting under my skin. It's just complete revisionist history. How fucking dare they Old vs. new

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

I think it's worth repeating plainly that a federal judge halted Musk's federal funding freeze nearly two weeks ago but funds are still very much being frozen in violation of the court order.

in america giant bodies of water can change their names, but trans people can’t

The real MeToo “cancel culture” was what happened to the women and other victims who came forward. They were retraumatized, harassed, humiliated, sued, fired, and blacklisted. Then they were the subject of a revisionist history that MeToo went “too far” and deserved a reactionary backlash

saw another skeet full of replies from white liberals saying we should leave people in red states to die millions of Black, brown, and poor people live in red states and either don’t want to leave or can’t leave. disrespectfully, fuck all of you who leave people to drown. gross.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

If you're screaming at a hospital about teen trans care, keep screaming.
