The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.

Did you know that those pardoned by Donald Trump for trying to storm our Capitol on January 6th are about to run for office, and the Republicans are going to support them?

Spread the word. We need to sound the alarm now.

Riley Gaines may have attended the University of Kentucky, but she sure as hell doesn’t represent Lexington.

Her crusade against trans athletes and trans Kentuckians has been cruel, unhinged, and self-serving.

She is clearly unwell and I pray that she gets the help that she so clearly needs.

Trump, flanked by young women: "In recent years the radical left has waged an all-out campaign to erase the very concept of biological sex & replace it w/a militant transgender ideology. You heard a little bit about this, haven't you?...men claiming to be girls have stolen more than 3,500 victories"

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

As much as I agree with this statement from Jeffries I am afraid that Democrats won’t take a swing for the Trans community.
I generally agree with this, but I would just say that you need to swing at a few more pitches than you have been and you need to swing sooner. Taking pitches until the count is 0-2, and then swinging late at a slider in the dirt isn’t going to get it done.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

If they say DEI, make them say what they mean.

If they defend a nazi salute, make them do it.

These people are evil - make sure everyone sees it clearly.
Normalizing spelling out what people actually mean when they cite DEI rather than letting them hide behind the safe cover of a euphemism that's been sapped of meaning

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican.

Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries.

We are not going anywhere.

Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Warren: "He can stand there, smile at you and say, 'anybody can vaccinate their kids who wants to,' but he literally could bankrupt the vaccines manufacturers with the power he will have. And since he's got a financial incentive to do that, we cannot trust him in that job."

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Trump posted his lie about “turning on the water” at 11:12 PM last night and CA responded with the facts less than two hours later.

Can most other Democrats PLEASE learn from this? At SOME POINT?

It isn’t 1996. Calling a press conference days later is USELESS. Rapid react!
