MAGA dispenses cruelty but demands civility. Mocks and ridicules everyone but demands we respect them. I think they're going to learn real quick the world doesn't work like that.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Sorry not sorry, y’all. I will never ever never never ever support anything that diminishes trans rights - even if it’s just one tenth of one percent of their rights. Never. Because once you forfeit one tenth of one percent, that becomes 10%, then 100%. Every. Time.

Trump’s executive orders are not law. This doctor knows it. Many hospital systems know it. Those that comply with something not passed by congress and with power not constitutionally granted to the president are cowardly.

I’m so tired of them. I’m tired of their lies. I’m tired of their disgusting amorality. I’m tired of their faces, their voices, their smirks. I’m tired of their inability to say — let alone do — even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever. So tired.

Unlike the mythical transgender predator in the restroom, trans children dying as a result of these hateful policies is real. Don’t look away, don’t deny their reality. We have to fight to protect these kids and all kids.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I just saw Trump’s latest executive order targeting trans kids and shutting down their health care. I’m asking all of us to stand up with one voice for the trans community.

Really hard to find hope in humanity when so many are so openly cruel yet they are cheered on for it. The devil's work of dehumanizing our fellow humans to normalize mass death and suffering has been wildly successful. The world we inhabit today is one that is intolerable for those with empathy.

I’ve been a proud registered Democrat my entire voting life. Today I switched to Independent. I cannot pledge my support to a party that sits on their hands and makes proclamations while people are targeted and suffer. Stop playing by old rules, be clear with your intentions and fight like hell.

Why the fuck is a single Senate Democrat playing “everything is normal” by voting to confirm the Cabinet picks of a fucking dictator? Do. Not. Comply. You have ALL spent the last how many years calling him Hitler and now you’re like, ‘I’m a yes on Goebbels and here’s why…” Fuck that. Stop it. Now.

@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co: "Right now, we have President Elon Musk. And Donald Trump—maybe he's vice president. I guess vice presidents don't do much, so that makes sense. He might be the chief of staff. I don't know what you call him, but he is not calling the shots."

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

Isn’t anyone else so tired of following the play by play of these situations? Waiting for people to do the right thing and continually failing is exhausting. One of the reasons I had to turn off the news and protect my mental health.

Nancy Mace is exactly the kind of opportunistic, attention-seeking grifter that is everything wrong with politics today. She doesn’t care who she has to destroy in pursuit of some clicks and eyeballs. She’ll claim she’s looking out for “wOmEn aNd GiRLs” when in reality she’s looking out for herself.

The same Republicans trying to put a man accused of child sex trafficking at the top of the DOJ and an anti-vaxxer atop HHS, are telling us that the reason they’re banning drag queens, gender affirming care & books with two mommies is because they want to ‘protect our kids.’ Bullshit.
