@repbarragan.bsky.social isn’t gonna get from the DOJ attention like AOC did for helping immigrants know their rights. But that doesn’t mean it’s any less important or worth going viral.

Opinion: Trump emulates Hitler in seeking to erase transgender people www.advocate.com/voi... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Everyone should know that Social Security is massively efficient. It's the most efficient program we have. Its overhead is only 0.5%. Cutting Social Security staff will do nothing to improve that and only result in problems with people getting the payments they are legally owed.

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

The situation in the US 🇺🇸 is serious, with the constitutional and political order rapidly changing. KIM LANE SCHEPPELE (kimlanelaw.bsky.social) explains in our editorial what has happened in the past few weeks and what is at stake. verfassungsblog.de/trumps-count...

I am pleased to announce that Whitman-Walker has returned a trans care resource, now under “primary care.” I am told the decision was to update today and that it is a case of bad timing, but also confirmed the reason why it was removed was fear of the Trump admin. Still. I am very happy it’s back.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

Every major paper should be covering this youtu.be/aNUMZSYF9m0?...

This is gold. These GOP reps are clearly embarrassed to be repeating these obvious lies. I am so relieved to see so many people seeing through the DOGE stuff and speaking out, regardless of party, it seems.

they are telling us they are intentionally burning the economy to the ground, never seen anything like it

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

For all you who continually whine “I’m not racist, I just think we need to have standards,” this is absorb this.No Black man could become head of the Joint Chiefs without meeting the standard. What they want is to harden a system of affirmative action for white guys.They what their grandfathers had.

A series of mistakes by DOGE shows just how arbitrary and destructive this slash-and-burn strategy can get. 🔗 www.wired.com/story/doge-i...

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

A lot of patients and their families experienced needless disruption and fear over this!!

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

The thing about Elon Musk's Mars aspirations is that he's never even landed anything on Mars. Musk claims that SpaceX's Mars missions will start in two years. Does Musk look like someone focused on getting to Mars? The dude is a huckster.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @congresstran.bsky.social Imagine for five seconds that this happened in a D admin, and do whatever the GOP would be doing to you. Run with this it is a clearly racist decision! Tear them apart, 24/7. You really need to be on this @housedemocrats.bsky.social

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

“MAGA stands for resegregation and racism”

We were being lectured about how ridiculous it was to compare the "anti-DEI" push to resegregation literally just yesterday.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

See even Engels agrees. Posters are the “main means of influencing the proletariat”

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

Elon Musk has actually never been to space. He's too much of a coward.

Southern California area folks in very normally drawn State Senate District 36, you should have your mail ins already. Drop them in the mail or vote Tuesday, this was an R seat last!

Best description of Joe Rogan. “Joe Rogan, the reason that he works is because he just sits there and believes whatever the most recent person he’s talked to, whatever they just said. That’s immediately his entire worldview He has the object permanence of a baby” @katmabu.bsky.social

When we want some media stunts there's not even a kneel to be seen.
