👎 true

The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss. A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

This is not a memorial. It’s a carefully crafted piece of political propaganda. It’s a rallying cry for white christo fascist supremacy. It’s hate dressed up as “compassion”. We must keep resisting. Keep reminding the world what these people actually stand for. Keep fighting back.

Two recent cases in Chicago illustrate the terror and violence that Trump's crackdown is causing among immigrant communities.

THANK YOU COLIN Colin Kaepernick is funding an independent autopsy for Trey Reed, a 21-year-old student found hanging from a tree at Delta State University, after police initially told his family he died in his dorm. The move aims to ensure transparency and accountability. (nypost.com)

"This is the Kremlin model where independent media was suffocated through hostile takeovers, licensing threats, and censorship actions." My latest on Kimmel and more

The Big Beautiful Betrayal is creating a health care crisis that will force hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes to close while 15 million people lose coverage. Unless Republicans in Congress renew the health care tax credits, more than 20 million Americans will also see their premiums rise.

They are coming for my LGBTQ+ community. I WILL NOT STAY SILENT.

Anti-fascists (Antifa):

Six minutes of 10 years of what #CharlieKirk believed. #InHisOwnWords

😬

When we warned about authoritarianism-canceling two of the four late night hosts because Trump doesn’t like them, that’s what we meant.

In times in which people give MOMENTS OF SILENCE for Advocates of Hate...remember Advocates of Peace.....

Do this - find the address of your local library and send a note or card!

He will be lionized by the right but remember Kirk’s rhetoric:

Super weird that the guy who was Practicing Politics The Right Way somehow magically seems to have a following so racist against Black people that him getting shot by a white person in the whitest state in USA results in 7 Black universities receiving terror threats. What's this got to do with us?!

When you attack Planned Parenthood, you attack patients' access to high-quality health care — and we’re not going to settle for it. If you or someone you know is seeking health care, call 1-800-230-PLAN today so we can help you get the care you need.

Don’t ever let them tell you that political violence is a one-way street. Don’t be cowed into silenced because you’re afraid that they’ll attack you for being insensitive in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death. Don’t let them rewrite history. Never allow it.

Charlie Kirk quote: "I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.” #SchoolShootings America's obsession with guns. #BradyBill #AssaultWeaponsBan youtube.com/shorts/WMSWU...

Russian drones attacked a NATO country tonight, yet our legacy media is barely making a peep. This is a deeply concerning geopolitical situation which is quickly escalating into a crisis. @olgalautman.bsky.social and I were live a few minutes ago to break it down. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxyv...

Despite decades of research and demonstrable results (e.g., measles were ELIMINATED from the U.S. in 2000), Florida plans to become the first state to eliminate vaccine mandates. State Surgeon General Joe Ladapo, announced the decision today. "Monster" is much too kind a word to describe him.

Wow Asheville NC Workers over Billionaires: a band performed by the protesters for a very energetic rally!

❤️‍🔥 We’ve been protesting for our rights since the beginning of time. I am truly fűcking sick of it. #Matriarchy #EqualRights #ERA ESTABLISH THE MATRIARCHY. Abolish the #Patriarchy, as, obviously, it does not function. ⚔️💔❤️‍🔥💔⚔️

#RedStates #BlueStates #Florida #Maga #Title1 #FederalFunds #PublicSchools #TrumpRegime #DonaldTrump Continues engaging in cruel bigotry against the LGBT+ community, especially minors and their parents. youtu.be/fV7jUAFhOkQ?...

Cato Institute found that ICE has booked 204,297 people, of whom 65% (~133,687 people) had NO criminal convictions. Among detainees with convictions, 93% had no violent convictions. YOU might be their next target, especially if you are a person of color.

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend....🌞💙

The CA recognition of Transgender History Month in August is in thanks in part to San Francisco transgender activist Jupiter Peraza who first lobbied her city to recognize it in 2021. 

Here he goes.

ICYMI: With @pressley.house.gov and @pettersen.house.gov, I’m calling on Sec. Rubio to demand the surge of infant formula into Gaza. More than 20,000 kids have been treated for malnutrition in recent months. The United States must take immediate action. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/25/m...

Facts are facts...

An American President messing with free elections because the leader of Russia told him to, is what we call a Russian Agent.

I wrote about how Trump's threat to end mail-in voting is just his latest attack on disabled people, some of whom find voting by mail to be much more accessible, at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I am beyond livid. The US State Dept is now banning children from Gaza in need of dire medical aid. Once again a reminder that the Trump regime is a fascist regime. Smh. Horrific.

Ohio is sending National Guard troops to D.C., supposedly to fight crime, when there are cities in Ohio with more crime than DC. If you can make sense of that, there's a MAGA hat with your name on it.

For the duration of this clip- I smiled. TY😁🥰

If you can’t make it in person, don’t worry we’ll share a way to join with a virtual check-in from the Texas Capitol rally at 11 AM. Plus, Texas for All will be livestreaming the event. Let’s make some good trouble today.
