If only every Dem could speak with this clarity.
This is yet another example of a private institution capitulating to the federal government’s assault on transgender rights. In the face of these attacks, New York City will continue to be a refuge for the LGBTQIA+ community.

The presiding judge is currently addressing several key legal points. First, regarding the defense’s argument that investigating a sitting president is unconstitutional, the court has ruled the investigation to be entirely lawful.

Fuck this guy. He should be running in a red district to unseat a sitting Republican but instead he’s trying to run in one of the most blue seats in the country so he can drag the party to the right.
I'm running for Congress to take the fight directly to Trump—but I can't do it if I'm not on the ballot. 🗳️

Would I prefer R presidents to D ones? Absolutely not.
But we are paying an astronomical price for tolerating Democrats who didn't fight fascism when they had the chance, and STILL aren't.
That price already includes our Constitution, the rule of law, and domestic peace, with far worse to come.

I miss when free speech meant the state can't punish people for expression, especially not for criticism of the government, rather than mean right-wingers can say whatever they want, others must spread it, and no one is allowed to say anything back.

When Karen Bass talks big about being anti ICE, she is lying.
Either that or she has no control of LAPD.
Or both.

The LAPD is citing truancy laws in an attempt to squash the ongoing school walkouts against ICE. The LAPD is also threatening to arrest any parents or adults who support the kids in their acts of civil disobedience.

My main opinion on Graham Platner is if there was a 41 year old guy running in the Republican primary for the Maine Senate seat and it turned out that he had a Nazi tattoo for 15 years and then he claimed that he just didn't know it was a Nazi tattoo, none of you would ever stop screaming about it.

I think what’s funny to me here is that people make up really specific-sounding shit (“I eat one egg a day and would notice if it went up by 2%”) and then call Stancil pedantic when he does the math problem *they literally created to sound rigorous.*
If you're eating one egg a day, a 2% increase in egg costs raises your egg spending by about two dollars annually. You'd notice this?

Why is this naive, idiot man still allowed to lead? This “aw, shucks, ICE is trying to do good, they just need better rules and training” shit is going to be the death of the Republic.
