I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.

The best scene in Jaws is when the boat guys sing a traditional sea shanty and Jaws pops out of the water and everyone is terrified but Jaws starts singing as well. There's this unspoken promise in the air that no one will eat anyone until the song ends.

There are less than a 1,000 US based billionaires and the Trump administration works on behalf of a few hundred of them.

Trump doesn’t seem to care or notice the people that voted for him are not on board and suffering so he can give them what he wants.
Lutnik is back bullying the EU on behalf of the Technocrats.

He said “The EU must loosen tech regulations if it wants the US to lower tariffs on its steel and aluminum”

He also said Brussels should “solve” outstanding cases against Google, Microsoft and Amazon.
