Great news! Overnight, a judge enjoined the Trump administration from enforcing their gender affirming care ban executive order in the plaintiff states.

They want you to believe it’s right vs left, when it’s really rich vs poor

I think many of the scholars on authoritarianism believing the US would be a competitive autocracy like Hungary are wrong. Had DeSantis been elected, that would've been the case. This moment has much more of the makings of a downward spiral into totalitarianism.

It’s sad on the eve of Presidents Day it’s appropriate to have to post this.

learn about the Black Panther Party free breakfast program learn about the Zapatista uprising learn about Jane learn about the Kensington Welfare Rights Union learn about STAR learn about Act Up learn about the Battle of Blair Mountain learn about the Spanish Civil War we are not the first

JFC indeed.

Knowledge is power…

Musk is trying to gain access to everyone's tax returns. This is insane. He'll be able to do whatever he wants with it.

NAZISM is nothing new in America, this is MSG in NY in 1939. Hitler admired the success of American robber barons in suppressing organized labor, he was inspired by US & British propaganda during WWI, and he used the Jim Crow Laws of the South as a template in Nazi Germany.

The president is not above the law, and I don’t care what secret cult of people wearing bathrobes has to say about it.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

There is NOTHING holy about Scripture!

US is a one party state. The Ratchet: Repubs push the envelope right, Dems do nothing to stop it, which normalizes things. Repeat. Dems aren’t blocking Trump’s agenda bc they support most of it. Neither party really stands for much, other than shifting corporate interests

They literally removed the T from LGBTQ and erased any mention of trans people who were present at the Stonewall Riots. They're trying to erase us from history. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Billionaires have cheated their way to the top, overriding any possibility of “survival of the fittest” by decimating our ecosystem. In the end, there will be no winners.

When Darwin said "Fittest" he meant Best-Adapted, not strongest. Species that cooperate (like wolves hunting in packs or primates with social bonds) often thrive better than those that compete excessively.

These people are real goons. The best PR firm in the world couldn’t clean up the public image of this parasitic blood sucking corporation.

#rainbowcapitalism showing its true colours....

I am so heartbroken. I got to know Elisa two years ago when she came to me with hundreds of emails of anti-trans legislators scheming around restricting trans rights. I helped get her story told by the New York Times and Washington Post. She deserved so much better. RIP.

To all the people who use our neighboring state lands as dumping grounds for their unwanted pets... A very big f*ck you and may karma come and do something painful to you. This is Jeffrey who we found in the middle of nowhere, cold, very scared, and hungry.

Think before you impose your beliefs …

Nothing makes me happier than Spain becoming the world's best performing economy under a socialist-led coalition government and with a nation that understands how refugees benefit the labor force. Viva España! www.bbc.com/news/article...

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Dems are not powerless, they’re unwilling to stop Trump, there is no opposition in the political system. Neither political party stands for much of anything more than shifting interests of corporate power. Dems abandoned the working class decades ago & are complicit in US decline

Brexit making the headlines.

You can’t buy love, but you can adopt it. It’s a great Caturday to visit a shelter near you and find your new best friend.

This is how it's done. Nazis should be scared to be out in public. Don't give them an inch.

I'm back from this rally. I bundled up and didn't freeze. I was heartened by the turnout. I have some photos and will post after I get some lunch. Trans lives matter. We all need to do our part to support at every level of society.
