Never forget!

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website. The stated reason is harmful to us all. I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars. Subscribe to support my journalism.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Day #21 of BHM Mary Jane Seacole (1805-1881) was a Black woman of Scottish, British, and Jamaican heritage who was a nurse and businesswoman. Seacole was born to a community of free Black people in Jamaica. 1/

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

This sent an electric shock through me. What the actual fuck!

All hail King Donald Jezebel Trump, First of his name, Lord of the morons, Destroyer of the Constitution, Water boy for the Oligarchs, Protector of Putin's ambitions. Short may he reign.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Amazing day out here and across the country! We have over 70 people at this store in Pasadena. Won't post shots of the crowd, up to others if they want to. This is just the beginning! #TeslaTakedown Teslatakedown.com

Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing β€” looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.

How do we maintain common decency when monsters are in charge? Part of the way to do this, I believe, is to celebrate integrity wherever we find it β€” like the actions of Danielle Sassoon. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/surviving-in-a-time-of-monsters

We cannot use privilege to keep ourselves safe when others are threatened. Be strong. #USDemocracy

The retaliatory firing of USAID’s inspector general is a travesty: If an independent oversight professional can be summarily fired for doing his or her job, there will be a permanent chilling effect on oversight agencies across the country.

Records show how DOGE planned Trump’s DEI purge β€” and who gets fired next #StopElonMusk #DOGEscam www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

If RFK wants to meaningfully decrease rates of depression, he can support paid family and maternity leave, equal pay for women, universal healthcare, and fully funded public schools. Stigmatizing medication that treats the mental impact of a country that devalues your existence won’t cut it.

Democracies do not "punish" journalists

Wake up babe new concentration camp brand just dropped

Really appreciate @apnews.com standing up for their first amendment rights. It would be good for our democracy if other legacy media outlets like the @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @npr.org @nbcnews.com @cnn.com et al - also stood up in solidarity with AP.

Alexander Miles (1838-1918) was a successful inventor in the late 19th century, best known for inventing elevator doors that could automatically open and close. His invention made riding an elevator much safer, people would often fall to their deaths prior to his invention. #BlackHistoryMonth

Extreme MAGA Republicans want to cut Medicaid and Snap to give their billionaire and ultra-wealthy donors a $4.5 trillion tax cut. Make sure your members of Congress know to keep their grubby Hands Off My Medicaid! No one voted to have their healthcare taken away! Rise up we are the #Opposition

BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump just BANNED the Associated Press from the Oval Office and Air Force One for refusing to recognize the β€œGulf of America.” This isn’t just an attack on the pressβ€”it’s an attack on truth, democracy, and the First Amendment. #FirstAmmendment

Elizabeth isn’t hiding. She’s leading from the front:

Trans people were important in a key moment of LGBTQ+ history. The Trump administration banned speaking about this.

Mildred Loving’s relationship made her a civil rights trailblazer. Her support for same-sex marriage made her an inspiration.

Augusta Savage was a Black sculptor from the Harlem Renaissance era. She was also a teacher to a generation of artists who would become nationally known. In 1937, she became the director of the Harlem Community Art Center. She also worked for Black equality in the arts. #BlackHistoryWithLana

The DOGE "force of super-geniuses" reinventing our $6 trillion government forgot to password-protect their website. Here's what it looks like right now www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

Justice Dept lawyers are showing other public servants, members of Congress and the public - not to mention quivering media moguls - what it means to be a citizen of a democracy. You do not bend the knee nor kiss the ring of tyrants.

There is nothing funny about the fact that corruption is happening in plain sight. But there is something amusing and deeply satisfying about watching Eric Adams get debased and humiliated like this and have to sit there and take it. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
