This government shutdown is on Republicans for refusing to negotiate. Democrats must continue to hold the line to protect healthcare for all, advocate for the most vulnerable in our society, and defend the rule of law.

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago.
What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored.
Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

I just don't get it.
The United States is doing every single step one would need to do for a soft genocide.
And this congresswoman goes "maybe the public just isn't ready for trans rights, we have to consider that"
NO.
THE FUCK.
WE DO NOT.

Nate is a disabled adult who relies on Medicaid. Medicaid makes Nate's life & dreams possible—it means freedom. Cuts to Medicaid eliminate those freedoms.
Help share Nate's story & join me in saying: NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Billionaires won't feel the difference if public schools shut down — but students sure will.
We’ve got to stick together, stand up, and fight back against Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s attack on the Department of Education.
