This anti trans climate in America is ignorant and embarrassing. It’s also the very unfortunate canary in the coal mine. As goes trans rights- so goes freedom and equality for all Americans. We should all feel like our identities have been assaulted and erased today. Feel that. It’s rotten.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC. Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA. Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ. Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

What happened here in California tonight is a victory for the people of this country. Donald Trump’s attempts to rig the midterm elections are backfiring. His attempts to silence you are backfiring. His entire presidency is backfiring.

Hey California-remember to grin and bear it tomorrow!!

To beat the election day rush: Here's how to vote today in California

Sending huge love and strength to everyone in Jamaica and the surrounding islands. This storm is a monster. Take cover.

Never met a steel drum I didn’t like.

Dear California, Please vote "yes" on Prop. 50. We simply must fight fire with fire.

I hope your no kings rally is rainbows and frogs and bears and unicorns.

The Trump Action Tracker is a British academic’s answer to Trump “flooding the zone” with anti-democratic and anti- rule of law behaviours. It’s a one-stop-shop for logging thd lot. And the neta-analysis of what is happening is very enlightening… darkly. See TrumpActionTracker.info

Jane Goodall said she’d like to send off to another planet: Musk, Trump, Putin, Xi & Netanyahu. 🚀

I will always be in awe of you. Rest in power, Dr. Jane Goodall.

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

Holding the #flotilla and all of its brave souls in my heart. May they be victorious

So, I know I’m a little late on this, but isn’t it fantastic?

My religion teaches love, joy, freedom, equality, empathy. I mention religion today cuz it’s being so widely used to divide and alienate people. It’s heart breaking that so many leaders and regular people alike have fallen for false prophets who capitalize on and condone cruelty, fear, and hate.

Godspeed, Mr. Redford. Thank you for your brilliant work and masterful contributions to film, the environment, and a more beautiful world. You are my hero and a saint.

Some September moonshine for you all.

Well isn’t this lovely. Opera star sings Habanera (from Carmen) in the airport (?) What a terrific voice. #opera I don’t care if they’re staged, we need more profl free public #music and #art.

A field a flowers to brighten your day.

On November 4th in California, you will have the power to stand up to Donald Trump. You will have the power to stand up for people. We're going to give the people of this state the power to stand up for democracy.

California Democrats are now actively redrawing maps to eliminate five Republican-held seats. Can God get an amen?

Stephen Colbert you are and forever will be my hero. I have followed you on your hosting journey since your very first episode on Comedy Central. You are a warrior and a saint. 🧵 #thelateshow

I hope you’re all getting into some good trouble today. Thank you Mr. Rep. John Lewis! #mobilize

My heart is heavy for all those affected by the devastating floods in Texas. 💔💔💔

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists. This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

The plastic crisis is DEVASTATING for seabirds. They ingest it. Feed it to their chicks. Get tangled in it. Together, we can give seabirds a fighting chance against plastic. Pledge to help reduce single-use plastics at the source: oceana.ly/4000aMN #WorldSeabirdDay #PlasticFreeJuly

Serenity now

You could be on Medicaid right now, and not even know it — that's because it's called something different in every state. So when House Republicans talk Medicaid cuts, they could be going after YOUR care. Call your representative today. youtube.com/shorts/NzWim...
