Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

SPARTA Pride – Leadership Has No Gender

Thank you for standing up for the military community! I’m the spouse of a trans service member being kicked out after 14 years. I’m also the comms director at SpartaPride.org, which advocates for and supports trans troops, vets & families like ours. (Need to get us an account!) We appreciate you!

Citing Trump Order on “Biological Truth,” VA Makes It Harder for Male Veterans With Breast Cancer to Get Coverage A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer. The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive orde...

Citing a Trump order about “restoring biological truth,” the VA is making it more difficult for male veterans with breast cancer to get their care covered by the government.

The disease is deadlier than for women and “notably higher among veterans,” research shows.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I’m grateful for how many celebrities have spoken out about Kimmel, threats to free speech & urging folks to cancel Disney. Now can we see that same outrage and energy about the govt’s dangerous, all-out assault on and attempted erasure of trans Americans and LGBTQ+ rights?

Flyer from The Heritage Foundation Oversight Project titled “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism (TIVE): Background and FAQs on Need for an FBI Domestic Terrorism Designation.” The page defines “Transgender Ideology” and “TIVE,” outlining beliefs allegedly associated with them. It claims such ideology justifies violence against opponents or frames opposition as violence. The text references the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk, urging the FBI to classify TIVE as domestic terrorism.

Includes mugshots of two alleged attackers. Followed by a “Frequently Asked Questions and Key Terms” section, addressing whether transgender people are terrorists, comparing TIVE with “Nihilistic Violent Extremism,” and discussing FBI designations.

Flyer continues with questions about Antifa and FBI terrorism classifications. States that Antifa and TIVE are separate categories. Lists ways the FBI classifies domestic terrorism and identifies typical characteristics of “TIVEs,” such as targeting Christians, mental illness, and online radicalization. Includes images: a “Trans Antifa” logo, a pink-blue-white-striped slogan image reading “Protect Their Right to Exist,” a photo of Audrey Hale with a firearm, and a close-up of a magazine with the words “Where is your God?”

Page layout is text-heavy, no additional graphics.

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them.

They want us all eradicated.

WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.”

It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.

“Sherman says he was ultimately not the official who approved the operation that took place on July 7 in MacArthur Park. It went to the Secretary of Defense for approval.”

A 2 star said no, so they had to go to the Secretary of Defense. Let that sink in…. No bueno. This is how tyranny begins.

“Two American badasses”… Decorated Air Force Master Sgt Logan Ireland denied military benefits because “Republicans care more about what’s in your pants than what’s in your heart.”

If Hegseth is “proud of our history,” why has the military systematically erased the contributions of women and minorities from the DoD website and prevented any celebration of them?

I’m 55,German. We asked our Grandparents how people could ignore the atrocities committed by the Gestapo and SS. Witnessing what’s happening in the Land of the Free, the country I once loved, is shocking. Get louder before it's too late. Don't let your children ask the same same questions to you.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
