A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Today, Donald Trump and Republicans are shamefully shutting down the federal Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for LGBTQ youth.

California will not stand idly by.

We're partnering with @trevorproject.bsky.social to upgrade the state's 24/7 call centers to provide life-saving support and care.

1. Iranians, especially Iranian women, are among the most highly educated people in the world.

While the regime oppresses women in many ways, education has is one of the few areas where women have had access.

Today, women make up over 60% of university students in Iran.
1. Just want to address this series of tweets by Candace Owens.

Most Iranians are AGAINST the regime but also don’t want to be bombed and are frightened.

There are Iranians who welcome the Israeli military operations.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

MAGA is against the deep state, the elite, and billionaires like George Soros whom they falsely said was running the government, but they applaud an immigrant billionaire, Musk, to basically buy the Presidency and do what he wants to benefit himself and his billionaire friends.

It's a dumb cult.
