"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

I have been saying this for weeks:

“The only possible way for American institutions to survive this administration is for them to collectively bargain, like unions, and to come to one another’s defense.” Imagine if all the universities united and took a stand rather than complying with Yahtzees.

Such an important point. Movements for justice begin in steps and proceed through stumbles and successes. The key is to keep trying, in community for the cause.

We just witnessed Trump’s MAGA members of Congress sell out working class Americans giving tax cuts to Billionaires and slashing Medicaid and SNAP.

In PA all 10 Repubs voted YES which will hurt over 5 MILLION Pennsylvanians- 3.1 Million (Medicaid) and over 2 Million (SNAP)

We are coming for U! 🤬

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
