Yeah, I’m not going to let people whose K Street gigabrain strategy lost us three branches of government convince me into conceding that working people of all lived experiences, including queer folks, don’t deserve to have a voice in the political process.

I find it incredibly striking that Marci Overstreet would choose to campaign alongside Mary Norwood, who infamously attempted to help Trump overturn Joe Biden’s victory after the 2020 election. www.ajc.com/news/atlanta...

Y’all ready, Georgia? We may have No Kings, but we do have a pro-equality Senator to re-elect!
In his first term, Senator Jon Ossoff fought for all Georgians by voting for the Respect for Marriage Act & cosponsoring the Equality Act.
We are thrilled to endorse Jon Ossoff for re-election to the U.S. Senate. https://bit.ly/3L8rCTP

Republicans have shut down the federal government for nearly a month, decimated public health funding, suing to permanently undo the Voting Rights Act, advocating to bring back conversation therapy and are still using ICE as a paramilitary to snatch people from their homes and off the the sidewalks.

As SCOTUS begins hearing a case on bans regarding “conversion therapy” today, remember this - LGBTQ+ identity is a beautiful part of the human experience that doesn’t need to be “fixed.” Queer people, you are made of stardust and galaxies. You are infinitely wonderful and belong here 🫶🏼

Speaker Johnson is refusing to call Congress back into session because there is enough votes to force the release of the Epstein files. After all the screaming about “protecting women” from transgender people, the GOP has shut down the entire government to protect actual pedophiles.

Trey Reed and Corey Zukatis deserved lives of abundance, hope, and opportunity. May they rest in peace. Both cases demand a full investigation.

A lot of y'all didn't decry "political violence" when Tortuguita was shot 14 times in cold blood by state troopers, but have a lot to say about someone whose assailant remains at large with an unknown motive. Why is it complicated when the victim is brown?
Why is it so easy then the victim is white?

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.
Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.
So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

Jeffries on Trump planning a military crackdown in Chicago: "We should continue to support local law enforcement and not simply allow Donald Trump to play games with the lives of the American people as part of his effort to manufacture a crisis and create a distraction because he's deeply unpopular"

John Oliver doesn’t get enough credit for having a show with a strong viewpoint who will oftentimes devote 20-25 minutes to a topic, sometimes one that you can’t hear about on American television anywhere else, and manage to be pretty consistently funny while doing it. It’s a hell of a balancing act
