Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

Under Trump, the NLRB is dropping its opposition to a lawsuit filed by SpaceX and Amazon claiming the board itself is unconstitutional.
Two of the world's richest men could get what they've always dreamed of: the destruction of unions once and for all.

“New Yorkers deserve affordable energy bills and a future free from the disastrous impacts of the climate crisis. Right now, ratepayers are subsidizing the expansion of the very gas system that is driving up their rate increases. The NY HEAT Act is a plan to move us away from costly fossil fuels, while bringing modern heating, cooling, and cooking solutions that work better. I’m honored to be the new Assembly sponsor of the bill and to work with an incredible coalition of supporters. I’m going to fight tooth and nail to make this bill a reality,” said Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:64drjustsrvsrcl2a2n2jnyf/bafkreiarcm5jdqbd2j3cfioovtajwrlqedrt5pk6jw4l2ecmkn35wq7wby@jpeg)

Proud to see Oregon on this list. Trump’s obsession with everyone's genitals and telling people how to live their lives is going to lead to more suicides and more dead kids.
In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."
![The serious concerns over how the Order will detrimentally impact transgender
youth cannot be overstated. One Washingtonian, as her parents describe her, was a bright and
gentle soul who loved playing musical instruments, trying new things, and playing Magic the
Gathering. She was excited to learn Japanese and the impact of gender-affirming care was
immediately clear to her family. Her parents described that “her joy was clear with every new
milestone in her transition. She was so happy to get to the next step, to get closer to presenting
in a way that was true to herself.” But the day before the presidential election, she shared,
“[t]omorrow I get to find out if I’m illegal.” After the election, she asked her parents if they
could move to Canada because she was fearful of new restrictions on transgender youth and
worried about losing access to gender-affirming care. In January 2025, she took her life. After
the Order issued, her parents expressed that the outlook for transgender futures looks scary and
shared fears of what ending gender-affirming care would have meant for their daughter’s access
to therapy, puberty-delaying medication, hormones, and hope of surgery. Her parents have
expressed fear for the many lives who depend on gender-affirming care and that what happened
to their daughter does not happen to any other children.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mlmouohgzbjofidukcp4pxf2/bafkreich7jyv3lnkmd5r234itpdhtvavgblc46ai6d47tb4i7oxgfga2ym@jpeg)
