Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social, who beat her opponent by 40 POINTS last week.

Make no mistake — this is a crisis of democracy, manufactured by leaders who care more about protecting pedophiles than everyday people.

Swear her in now.

Mike Johnson is delaying the certification of Adelita Grijalva’s victory in Arizona’s special election last week.
This move prevents Democrats from securing the final signature needed to force a House floor vote and release the Epstein files.

Now is not the time to vilify the trans community. We must lead with compassion, not violence.

WE MUST LEAD WITH COMPASSION, NOT VIOLENCE.

Christopher Street Project unequivocally condemns the murder of Charlie Kirk. We know that political violence in all forms against anyone only perpetuates the cycle of hate.

As we wait for more details, this is not the time to exploit or vilify the trans community for political purposes. Instead, we must lead the way in demanding compassion and a commitment to building a nation where every person lives free from violence and
can be their authentic selves.

MAGA’s attempt to strip trans people of fundamental rights by calling us ‘mentally ill’ is their latest attempt to label trans people as second-class citizens.

Text against a dark blue background criticizes Trump and the DOJ for attempting to label transgender Americans as 'mentally ill,' asserting discrimination.

Constitutional rights apply to every person — regardless if you’re trans or not.

Headline in bold text reads: 'Trump & DOJ threaten to revoke constitutional rights for Trans Americans.' Below, a CNN Politics segment highlights discussions about banning gun ownership for transgender people.

Weaponizing private healthcare data threatens not only trans people, but every American's fundamental freedoms.

Pam Bondi stands in front of a U.S. flag; headline reads, "DOJ attempts to steal trans patient health data threatens all" with a Washington Post excerpt about demands for trans care info.

A graphic with bold text states concerns about Trump, cronies, and government seizure of personal healthcare data, urging hospitals and doctors to protect patient privacy and freedoms.

This is outright un-American. Kicking out trans Air Force members AND denying them the retirement package that every other service member has access to is disgraceful.
