After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

Call for Schumer’s resignation now or I will know you are complicit!
Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

Emergency rally against Fenway Health's capitulation to Trump today at 4:00.

The institutions that are supposed to protect us cannot toss aside Transgender people to protect LGB people.

We are all in this together.
Friends!

We’ll see you today for this emergency rally outside Fenway Health.

Join us to protest their shameful decision to abandon Trans Youth!

Every single piece of research demonstrates that this is dangerously medically wrong. We’ve never had any reason to believe otherwise, medicine has always known this.

In terms even the NHS can understand: people at highest risk of breast cancer all have one thing in common and it isn’t a uterus.
Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

My records have been altered, which is upsetting.

For my newsletter, I wrote about how wantonly illegal and unconstitutional ICE is, how it must come to a stop now, how it's up to all of us to stop it, and how we will need to develop a way so the federal government can never do this to us again.

There are going to be a lot of state college professors and public school teachers reinstated in the coming weeks. Being distasteful about someone's assassination is supported by the First Amendment regardless of how you feel about it.
BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the University of South Dakota to reinstate a professor who posted criticism of Charlie Kirk on his Facebook page the day of the shooting, finding the action likely violated the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
