Do not let Trump gaslight you into believing he has a mandate or is all powerful. Most Americans don't support his cruel agenda. His approval ratings are in the gutter. Individuals and institutions are fighting back in courts and winning. Keep up the fight.

Here's an Earth Day reminder that Big Oil and Gas spent $96 million to help reelect Donald Trump. Now he's getting rid of environmental protections to appease his donors. If we want to live on a healthy planet, we need to End Citizens United and get Big Money out of our politics

Autism is real. And for many, autism is just a small part of who they are. But let’s remember that there are thousands of people who have a debilitating autism diagnosis. They can’t form relationships or get a job. They can’t drive or go get a haircut on their own. They exist and they need us.
