A welcoming, pesticide-free community? If you can afford it. Homes start at $520k.
#MAHA is #anti-science & #ableist. Much of its base peddles #whitesupremacy & #patriarchy.
A movement/base that upholds any -ism, is not making America, or anyone, healthy again.

If the #Epstein files are ever released, I won’t be surprised if people of all political parties are in them. But I’d be surprised if #MAGA cared if #Trump was in them. They’d rip any Dem in the files but Trump? He’d get a pass.
Prove me wrong, MAGA.
I know you won’t.

It’s wild to me that the lack of info from the #epstein files not being released is what nearly broke #maga. As opposed to all the actual, terrible information about #trump. I know maga thought it’d prove their conspiracy theories but the reality of Trump is wilder than any conspiracy theory.

Let's be clear: This NH budget crisis is not a bipartisan failure. It is a Republican-made disaster. They had the majority. They had the time. They had the responsibility. And they blew it.

#keene #nh #pride lost $7k in funding when Walmart pulled out this year. They crowdfunded and more than made up for the loss. But let’s keep it going!

Trump on whether he would call Tim Walz to express condolences after this weekend’s shootings: “So I could be nice and call him, but why waste time?”

I will say it again. We cannot talk about what is happening to young men without talking about what’s being modeled for them. By the president.

The cruelty is the point. And I shudder to think that this inexcusable behavior is the very reason so many people love #trump.

Trump says he won't call Walz about Minnesota lawmaker shootings, calls governor "whacked out"
President Trump said Tuesday that he won't call Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the targeted shootings of two state lawmakers because it would "waste time."

There's no hiding the facts this #Pride. And the data shows that LGBTQIA+ communities remain invisible in labor statistics and workplace protections. We can't close the wage gap if we can't see the full picture.

Take Action: LGBTQIA+ Equal Pay Awareness Day 2025
LGBTQ+ workers earn less than their non-LGBTQ+ peers. We're calling on Congress to invest in policies to help close the wage gap and defend federal agencies that enforce critical civil rights protections.

I just heard that ten years ago today #Trump infamously descended a golden escalator and announced his candidacy for president. 🤢
So that’s why I feel so inexplicably unsettled today and why I feel like I’ve aged thirty years in the last decade 😭

“The ‘situation’ that Schiff named- which he did not want Trump to ‘antagonize and weaponize’ - was already a state of intolerable violence.” 💯

LA Protesters Aren’t Inviting Violent Authoritarianism, They’re Mobilizing to Stop It
Adam Schiff and centrist concern trolls have it completely backward: Trump’s immigration crackdown is the source of pervasive violence.

#Ayotte scammed many in #NH into believing she’d continue the “Sununu path.” Sununu was often seen as more moderate. But much of what Ayotte is signing into law is #maga extremism. #Schoolvouchers are often supported by Christian nationalists and are not in line with NH.

Just days ago, the #LAPD said the #LA protests remained peaceful. Now they’re basically telling protesters “we know where you live.” The only strategy of Trump’s is to stoke division, intimidate and create chaos and fear.

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house"
The practice, an expert warns, could lead to "reprisals and retribution by the police for your politics.”

Shook by what’s happening in #losangeles. No matter the brutality we collectively witness in this country, I still am shaken each time it strikes again. Sending love 💕 and safety to those facing down #brutality and #authoritarianism right now.

I know a few people who’ve minimized RFK Jr’s brutality, saying “but don’t we need healthier food?”
Obviously, yes healthy food is essential. And we can demand that our well-being is totally separate from junk science, quackery, #ableism, #whitesupremacy and #patriachy
