The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

The fight against President Musk (and Kennedy Center chairman Trump) is just starting. We’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement. Together, we have the power to stop MAGA’s takeover. app.sosha.ai/s/jpQuc3RK

Trans people have a right to play sports.

President Trump does NOT have a right to hold federal funding hostage to his unlawful agenda.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?

JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here

TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?

JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law

T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

The bullying, cruelty, and inhumanity is breathtaking. This administration cannot erase the fact that gender is more complex than male and female, but it can damage a lot of lives while trying.

It’s been a whirlwind of executive orders since Donald Trump became president last week, but we are fighting back!

Swipe to see what NCLR has done in the last seven days to rise up against the anti-LGBTQ executive orders.

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer.

Sounds GREAT to me.

Buy independent.

No wonder so many who make their living in agriculture are skeptical of or outright hostile to climate/environmental legislation (water.ca.gov/programs/gro...)! How can legislators protect the environment with greater sensitivity to all interested parties?

The MAGA attack on trans rights is, at best, small-minded and cruel. Defend trans rights, even if you don’t think you know any trans folks.
