This Pride month, don’t forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.

Um no. What’s really expensive is doing nothing.
Climate disasters cost billions—and those costs are rising fast. Climate solutions save money and lives, as well as building a better world for us all 🌏💚

Proponents say that the repeat offenders are the problem in an effort to support their case by focusing on the extreme cases. They should narrow any efforts to addressing repeat offenders. First and second offenses are misdemeanors. Third or more offenses are felonies.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled courts must assess the full context of a police encounter when determining what constitutes excessive force — not just the moments right before the lethal force.
Over 1,300 people were killed by police last year. This ruling will help hold the police accountable.

Which states could lose the most from Medicaid cuts floated by the GOP?
South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee – all Trump states.
Republicans seem perfectly happy throwing their own constituents under the bus to dole out tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations.
