We just secured the liberal majority on Wisconsin's Supreme Court thru 2029! Susan Crawford's big win keeps the highest court in this battleground state from falling into MAGA hands. Thank you for all you did to elect this Indivisible-endorsed candidate (and make Elon Musk waste over $20 million)!

You've read the stories about Gavin Newsom throwing transgender people under the bus in sports, prisons, and gender affirming care for trans youth.
Now watch the video and listen.
It's as bad as it sounds. He betrayed trans people and threw us under a bus driven by Charlie fucking Kirk.

folks, there’s good news for a change.
that anti-trans executive order sports ban won’t be a law this week; they didn’t get closer to defining trans people out of legal existence or trans women as men under the law.
this matters.
no democrats broke ranks.
thank you to everyone who called. 💜🏳️⚧️

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban.
It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture.
Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes.
