I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

This is it. Very glad to see this full-throated welcome to queer people — and recognition of trans people’s history — from Zohran Mamdani in the closing month of his campaign and on National Coming Out Day.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Trump is giving another taxpayer-funded bailout to billionaires, and working class MAGA cultists won’t say a peep.

October 18: No Kings Day 👑✊ Because I want my 4 pillars back—rule of law, inclusion, diversity, and that old-school promise of America. Funny how demanding democracy feels rebellious now. #NoKingsDay #RestoreThePillars #Resist #SnarkTok

Susan Collins is the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which means she has considerable power to influence the administration but she prefers to mumble weak protestations to the media

Despite all of Susan Collins’s **concerns**, Russ Vought, who she voted to confirm, still went ahead and fired a boatload of hard-working Americans.

Before us are illegal and unnecessary Republican mass firings, which they will own; behind us, millions of Americans whose health care Republicans attack, and will own.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.

Listen up. This isn’t financial gold for Americans. This is going to absolutely crush the US.
President Numbskull never thinks anything through, nor does he or his admin understand how things work. I’ve written about this before.
