Trans rights are human rights, and we will fight for them. Always.

Sweet Baby Jesus, Why did you take our brains from us? Was it the Trump bibles? Was it worshiping a golden oaf? How can we make amends?

Reading through Gov. Walz’s posts gives me joy. And sorrow at what could/should have been.

Today’s cat pic is brought to you by the Letter C (or maybe it’s more like a G? An E? What do you think?) Anyway, enjoy 🥰 #whatdoyouthinkThursday #catsofbluesky

One more time for the people in the back: Trump does not give a f*ck about working folks!

Sit down with your family & friends, have a serious conversation about the state of the United States right now; what Trump's actions mean for your future. Let them know this isn't about politics but ultimately the survival of you as a country, nation, and people. This is a war. #3E

FIRE THIS LAZY FEDERAL WORKER......

Everyone needs to see this. Be ready to deny access, even if you don't know any immigrants. Let them waste time and you might save a family somewhere else. #Disobey #blue #fotus #FBR #immigrants #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #FuckICE #SaveOurDemocracy #sanctuary #organize #fucktrump

If you want video, Team Protect HB on Instagram has it. I’m unsure if this link will work.

There’s an existential desire for truth right now and many folks are feeling out where to get it. So the MeidasTouch Podcast rises. Also, the Meidas guys are way hotter than Joe Rogan and they don’t drool when a thought lasts longer than a few seconds.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

Love this guy. He appeared on the Mueller, She Wrote podcast in 2018. Hell of an activist.

Canada is preparing for a bird flu pandemic with 500,000 vaccine doses true leadership. Meanwhile, the U.S. is hiding critical data. Don’t worry I’m getting the truth from CDC sources. Follow for urgent updates on this ongoing bird flu threat.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

How unbelievably ignorant he is. I see everyone. We’re all in this together.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

🚨 🚨 Shared with me: Fyi - The Washington administration is shutting down at midnight tonight the federal website for ordering free COVID tests (four per household Last call.) ------------------ covidtests.gov Please share 👍🏾

Governor Pritzker 💙🌟🇺🇸 February 19, 2025 “Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let the tragic spirit of despair overcome us when our Country needs us the most.”

NY hasn't labored under a King in 250 years. We sure as hell aren't going to start now. 👏

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.

Can someone please explain to me how it is possible that the very same red-white-and-holy-shit-they’re-stupids flying “don’t tread on me” flags are also like “hell yeah he’s our motherfucking king! Cry harder Libs!” Explain this to me like I’m 5 and not smarter than all of them combined. Please.

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

Second round of layoffs at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency definitely happening now. I've heard from at least two laid-off employees tonight.

I wanted to come up with an analogy to describe Trump's absurd plan for Ukraine. Something like... "Imagine if Mexico invaded America and then met with Canada to decide how much of America they should keep." I quickly realized my analogy was something most Americans would welcome right now.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
