And just like that, I now permanently and uncritically admire the actress I had always been irrationally annoyed by until merely seconds ago.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.
As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

If you don’t think Trump is compromised, ask yourself how Ghislaine Maxwell got a meeting with Todd Blanche and how Putin got a summit on American soil.

EJ Antoni wants to suspend the monthly jobs report because Trump's regime wants to suppress anything that exposes their failings. Our government used to criticize authoritarian nations for suppressing information, but now the Tangerine Tyrant's minions are acting the same way. Shameful.

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
Breaking News: President Trump said he was taking control of the police in Washington, D.C., and deploying 800 National Guard troops there in response to “out of control” crime — even though violent crime in the city has fallen. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/3H9yVcu

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades
Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

CONFIRMED: Arturo Suárez, the musician imprisoned by the Trump admin without due process in El Salvador for 4 months is FREE.
A video shows him telling his brother that while they were imprisoned, they were beaten daily by guards. Remember: this is the first ever mass release from CECOT.

@maddow.msnbc.com , thank you for always recognizing citizens all over the country who are protesting Trump’s policies. I’m proud that I’m one of a group of Columbus, Mississippians, who protest regularly in front of Trent Kelly’s office. Mississippi is a purple state. Every Friday from I2-1 pm.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.
It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

Trump ran as the anti-war guy. Now he’s bragging about “controlling the skies over Iran” and floating assassinations on Truth Social. The peace president was a lie—like the Bible photo-op, the “pro-life” act, and the rest of it.

It’s time for everyone who identifies as an ‘immigrant’ to completely withdraw their labor. We need a national stop work. 50 million people need to simply stay home & watch Netflix until the country starts BEGGING them to return to work. The United States of America runs on the sweat of immigrants.
