the ongoing new lavender scare has been hard for me to grapple with. if you are transgender do not get caught doing anything illegal and do not say anything anywhere that the state would want to prosecute you over. genuinely, be careful and prepare however you can

Most teachers/professors are liberal-progressive because facts have a liberal bias and history warns us against the dangers of fascism. We should create a public teach-in movement to share more reliable evidence based and historically accurate knowledge with the public in more ways & places.

EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

I remember when right-wing media said that I wasn’t qualified to be a member of Congress because of my credit card debt. My debt was nowhere near $1.2 million.
Do they think the same of RFK Jr? Or does that standard only apply to young people? We know the answer.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
