Even during dark times, we can lift each other up. We must!
Higher rates of homelessness among LGBTQ+ youth in the United States is a product of systemic displacement, exclusion, and lack of resources for marginalized youth. Homelessness is due to systemic failure, not individual failure.

At least the people who needlessly die in the next wave of hurricanes will die in a world with fewer pronouns. I'm sure that'll be a comfort to their loved ones.
BREAKING: The mass firing of upwards of 1,800 workers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, including top climate scientists and weather forecasters, has begun.
The firings reportedly include workers at the National Weather Service.

What a shit show.
If today’s Oval Office meeting was supposed to make Trump look tough, he is sadly mistaken. Trying to extort and humiliate a democratic ally invaded by Russia is a disgusting display of weakness and fealty to Putin.
Here’s the full Trump-Zelensky presser.
Trump, unable to find most countries on a map, is so wildly out of his depth here - and he’s sabotaging US interests amid his and Vance’s tag-team bullying of Zelensky. Utterly reckless and shameful.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party
thx in advance
thx in advance
Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

You're complaining about "where's the response to Musk making all these changes, while doing business" on @stephanieruhle when we literally had 1000s of folks out in the streets protesting this YESTERDAY. I guess the 1% aren't the only ones out of touch in this country.

This, from a convicted felon.
Anyone who has had a loved one die KNOWS that the IRS is all over that death, and even charges back the days that were paid after the person died. Computers are like that. They don't forget and the math is always right.
