I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

The co-president says speaking against Putin’s interests is akin to treason.

So I guess that’s where we are now.

As a teenager, I marched in opposition to the US invasion of Iraq. Millions of others did as well. We were right and nobody today dare argues otherwise. Our President now would have us arrested for activities ‘aligned to’ Saddam Hussein’s regime.
He was supposedly arrested for acitivities “aligned” to Hamas. Anyone who cares even a little about civil liberties should understand what an absurd and dangerous legal standard this is. Legal equivalent of a vibe check.

His wife was threatened, too — an 8 mo pregnant U.S. citizen

"we have no power we can't do anything" well you could start by not voting to censure someone in your own party

This is one of the shared delusions of American Exceptionalism, for traditional conservatives and liberals. They always throw that "peaceful" bit in. In practical reality, you literally cannot engage in protest (peaceful or not) without significant, often violent, harassment by the state.
Peaceful protests, of course, are not “illegal.” A government ban on peaceful protests would violate the First Amendment. The goal here seems to be intimidation and fear to chill free speech.

We've created a tracker that covers all executive orders affecting LGBTQ folks along with federal and state legislation.

We're at 334 anti-LGBTQ bills.

I hate seeing AI generated images in general, but it really annoys me when people use AI images related to Trump, Elon, Gaza, protesters, etc. This is all real, not fictional, so use photos. Not only is AI contributing to misinfo and abuse but it’s directly empowering the billionaire tech oligarchs

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".

The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.
