The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout.
Democrats voted yes.
Republicans voted no.
Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you king. Killing your brother and marrying his wife only to be haunted by his ghost and poisoned by his son before you manage to kill him with the poisoned blade and no one is left but some bloke named Horatio is how you become king
Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Being crowned at Car Paravel with your three siblings by Aslan does.
Calling yourself a king doesnt make you a king. Delivering an all-time banger of a speech on St. Crispin’s Day does.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.
Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

This administration has removed LGBTQ pages and vital sources of LGBTQ data, but they cannot erase LGBTQ people.
Two data pages you can always count on are GLAAD's research hub (glaad.org/research/) and ALERT Desk (glaad.org/alert-desk). Comment below to share your favorite LGBTQ research sites.📊

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

The only reasonable thing Canada and Mexico can do is
RESIST
The attacks on our friends are clearly designed to weaken the US and it's alliances. The impacts on our economies will be devastating.
We're calling on the US Congress to impeach that madman and fast.
