We will never be able to put our country back together until we prosecute those who are breaking the law multiple times a day. It’s what should have happened four years ago and it is a huge part of the reason we are in this mess today.

The science is clear - SNAP reduces food insecurity, improves health outcomes, and lower healthcare costs.

Although fed judges ruled the admin can NOT withhold SNAP disbursements, it appears they plan to do just that.

We’re mobilizing a national food drive - join here👇

Disparate impact liability has been a key tool in removing systemic barriers to opportunity in housing, employment, education, and beyond for historically marginalized people.

No one should be unfairly excluded from equal access to opportunities based on arbitrary and discriminatory policies.
Disparate Impact, Explained
By rolling back “disparate impact” rules, the Trump administration threatens decades of progress against systemic discrimination in housing, jobs, and education.

According to MAGA these words are all interchangeable:

CRT
DEI
woke
liberal
leftist
communist
socialist
fascist
Marxist
globalist

They're meaningless buzzwords standing in for "things that we hate, fear, and/or don't understand.

Someday everyone will understand this & no one will believe there was ever any question about it.

Just like everyone today knows that Bush lied us into the Iraq war and no one remembers how anyone who tried to say that WMD was a lie were shushed for being too strident.

So true.
By attacking science:

We are less safe because science informs national security and medical care.

We are less prosperous because science drives innovation and economic benefit.

We are less free because science and democracy depend on the liberty to ask questions, and seek and share knowledge.

So-called “conversion therapy” is torture and has no place in our commonwealth.

HB495 not only legally protects it, but guts Medicaid for thousands of marginalized Kentuckians.

The General Assembly’s passage of HB495 is emblematic of what happens when LGBTQ+ people are denied a seat at the table.

Please call your representatives and let them know you STRONGLY oppose this attack on access to knowledge.

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

Your donors are irrelevant.

Polls are irrelevant.

Also, who do you think will be at the top of the list during Trump's Night of the Long Knives?

Absolutely true.
one thing I've become very convinced of is the need for the civil service to do waaayyyy more propaganda. like you should know about how NOAA makes the weather app on your phone work. you should know that Uncle Sam runs GPS. you should know how impressive the US census data collection effort is, etc

We are currently in FAFSA filing season & all people who don’t identify as men in education need to be aware.

They want us to be focused on the removal of “non-binary” when the real issue is “prefer not to answer.”

It removes our right to privacy & allows men to be prioritized.

Trump is letting the richest man in the world wreak havoc on our government. It's unconstitutional and it's dangerous. Democrats must fight back. And that starts by voting no on his nominees. I urge my colleagues to join me. We cannot confirm any more of Trump's chaos cabinet.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Yes: This is all happening for no reason.

The Times keeps running interviews with Trump voters and they were all like "the vibes weren't right" or "the price of eggs was too high" or other made-up nonsense. They simply had no coherent reason to return a seditious, impeached felon, & yet they did.
the depressing thing about what's happening and to come is how fucking unnecessary all of it was. no war forced us into this, no massive recession. bunch of bored morons pushed the "break everything" button because of the man on the tv and the people on their phone told them, and people will die.
