I want to thank all the veterans who have served this country, but especially the transgender veterans who served and still desire to serve in spite of being treated like 2nd class citizens by the very country they defend. Thank you all for your service.

EEOC Director of Information Governance and Strategy Marc Seawright spent the last eight years working on projects to prevent and fight workplace discrimination.

But under the Trump administration, he says the agency became a hostile work environment itself.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Thomas was always a trash heap.
Anita Hill testified during the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination hearings today in 1991. Hill said that Thomas had sexually harassed her while he was her supervisor at the Department of Education and the EEOC.

The flotilla also includes U.S. Veterans, medics, and everyday people who have stepped up when our complicit government greenlit a genocide. There is also a large team supporting on the ground, behind the scene. It has been the honor of my lifetime to be a small part of this team. #FREEPALESTINE

Trump called the military to occupy DC to fulfill strong man optics after a terrible economic report, adding trillions to the national debt, getting played by Putin (again), losing massive support, and to covering up his involvement in child rape and trafficking with Epstein.
