Do you know someone transgender? 71% of Americans don’t. Before you judge, get to know them. Shutting trans kids out of teams/activities doesn’t protect anything; it just takes something away from all kids who benefit from their participation. Support trans kids. @demsabroad.bsky.social 🏳️‍⚧️

Just like Mexico is paying for the wall… Senate Republicans introduced proposal to spend $1 billion on the glitzy White House ballroom that Trump promised would be built without using any public money. Is he ever NOT lying? #DemsAbroad www.nydailynews.com/2026/05/06/s... @demsabroad.bsky.social

Last week SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a civil rights-era statute passed to prohibit racial voting discrimination. It’ll now be harder to challenge racially discriminatory gerrymandering, and may reverse gains in black representation in Congress. 🧵 @demsabroadgbc.bsky.social

Just to clarify. I loathed him, before I even knew what party he might have affiliated with. He was, to me, way back in the 80s, the epitome of what used to be called 'The Ugly American'. I loathe him even more now. I just want him gone. #NeverTrump #Resist @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social

Does this make you feel safer? 😬 The Trump admin has terminated over 100 advisory committees to science agencies—and reduced transparency and independence of others. The Dept of Health & Human Services lost over 1/4 of its advisory committees. #Demsabroad spklr.io/6048EKNh0

The White House’s 2027 budget plan proposes cutting education funding for some of America’s most vulnerable students by nearly 70%. 21% of adults nationwide are illiterate, and the US ranks 36th in literacy. These statistics show no signs of lowering, and the rise of AI may lead to lower rates. 🧵
