How the fuck is allowing people to pee in a bathroom that aligns with their gender "discrimination on the basis of sex?" Transgender witch hunts are the new McCarthyism. If they care about women's rights, stop trying to deny the right to vote & to life saving healthcare thehill.com/homenews/lgb...

Any sincere effort at reducing the deficit would make sure taxes owed are taxes paid, but no, we are seeing brazen robbery. Any remaining claim that trump/elon are about anything other than a wealth transfer to the ultra wealthy lost any and all credibility.

In responding to climate-driven disasters, we need leaders who prioritize community needs over scoring political points and we need a new model for paying the skyrocketing costs. @savestomatopods.bsky.social explains for Inside Sources: dcjournal.com/prioritize-c...

Shocking that a bunch of kleptocrat billionaires don't know and don't care about cutting life saving services for American families. The recklessness and disregard for people and human needs is horrifying nonetheless. wapo.st/3EewHXo

"The future does not belong to those who are content with today... For there is much to dissent from. We dissent from the fact that millions are trapped in poverty while the nation grows rich..." Thanks to Robert Reich for raising a speech from RFK SR. rfkhumanrights.org/speech/speec...

Climate-related disasters are getting worse and more expensive. Only the uber rich can afford to rebuild on their own. Trump and the Republican Congress have plenty of plans to cut public funding, but nothing to address rising disaster and insurance costs www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Rolling back health and climate standards for vehicles has been at the top of the oil and gas industry’s wishlist, and President Trump doing their bidding on day one is naked cronyism that places the profits of corporations and Wall Street over the health of the American people.

There's so much intentional misinformation and unintentional ignorance that it's hard to parse these executive orders, but suffice to say that Trump is inflicting higher costs on Americans and kissing the ring of the fossil fuel industry. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

How many people will be harmed before voters understand that Trump's manipulation of culture wars and lies about how he could fix inflation are just scant cover for his own self-enrichment?
