Sen. Elissa Slotkin is one of the former military/intel lawmakers who infuriated Trump last year by making a video urging U.S. service members to refuse illegal orders.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility.
Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.
Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.
We're fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

U.S. allows Russian oil tanker to reach Cuba, breaking Trump’s effective blockade The administration had threatened to punish countries that attempted to break the blockade, which was aimed at weakening the communist government.

What Trump has been doing to Cuba is unconscionable. He's singlehandedly forced the island into a humanitarian crisis over recent weeks.

An American president can’t be given carte blanche to threaten hostile takeovers of other nations and sow mass chaos around the world. (1/2)

NYTimes has spent years breathlessly repeating claims that objecting to the treatment of Palestinians is antisemitic, but when right-wingers say they're “J-pilled,” NYTimes calls this "slang for skepticism of Israeli influence."

Where's the "J" in "Israel"? Might that "J" mean something else?

Thousands in Harrisburg, PA; so many groups are tabling, a student led group is selling brownies to fundraise for the unhoused. People from the stage are shouting out groups and telling people how to get more involved with them. This is the point.

I love Trump's choice to put his signature on paper money as inflation skyrockets toward near-post-COVID levels because of his own idiotic policies.

"Why is this dollar getting me less than it used to? Oh, it says right here." Next he should watermark his face on all receipt paper.
