If we’re all getting paid to protest today, shouldn’t the pro-capitalist party be celebrating the boost to the economy? 🤔

Hakeem Jeffries is so skilled at being a disappointment. The worst opposition leader possible. I am so sick of rank careerism and incompetence.

It’s important to note that they aren’t banning puberty blockers. They are only banning them for the treatment of gender dysphoria. For any other condition they can still be prescribed. I think there is a word for this? Discrimin-something?

Oregon lawmakers should VOTE NO on HB 3835 which loosens protections for foster youth, and reopens the floodgates to sending vulnerable kids to abusive residential programs out of state again. Kids deserve better! #ORPOL #TTI #FosterYouth #FosterCare #ChildAbusePrevention #Oregon #ChildrensRights

#CorneliusFrederick would be turning 22 this year, free from the foster care system. Staff killed him for throwing a sandwich while his peers watched. 5/1 is the anniversary of his death. This is what the #TTI looks like. Look at this beautiful boy who was killed by his “treatment providers.” RIP
