For the folx following me, welcome! Just a few things to be aware of.

I post a lot of LGBTQ+ activism stuff, some politics (yeah, I definitely have OPINIONS and I miss my PR folx), and memes/pet pix. If that's not your jam, cool! Now you can make an informed decision on following or not.

Yes… there was like 5 trans athletes in women’s sports. Oh, the horror.

But at least you could afford groceries.
“Good evening America- I inherited a mess, and I’m fixing it… this is what the Biden administration allowed to happen to our country… transgender for everybody…”

Once again Senator Lee thinks he can sneak in attacks to our public lands and we won’t notice. And once again, he’s wrong. We’re here, we’re watching, and we’re not letting up.

Just a reminder, or as new info for those who don't know:

Under EO 13526, which is still in force and which Trump has affirmed, no information can be classified to conceal violations of the law or prevent embarrassment.

Someone please explain that to Hegseth.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

Ugh isn’t MTG gone yet?

While her deplorable “Protect Children’s Innocence Act” is unlikely to pass, it highlights political interference in decisions on gender transition care for minors that should remain between patients, families, and licensed providers.

The White House is now just explicitly stating its intent to kill and maim non-white people here and around the world and white men are *still* insisting they are at a societal disadvantage

The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

You know, some days I sit and think about how absolutely wild it is that we've built a society where we don't provide a place for people to even sleep at night without having to pay for it, and that we've somehow made it seem like that's normal.

✅ Promoted ivermectin for COVID treatment

It turns out that if you hurt kids, people notice.
@altcdc.altgov.info pulled up because kids deserve proper healthcare through science.
@rebelfema.altgov.info landed because families need protection from disaster

And after throwing immigrants and trans people under the bus, then it becomes "Who can we throw under the bus next?" It never stops with just one marginalized population.
Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.

I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.
We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.

When reporters don’t challenge obvious bad faith, they don’t just miss a moment. They enable it.
The fact that not a single reporter tells Mike Johnson “let me read it for you” or “here it is” when he claims he hasn’t seen or doesn’t know a thing about the psychotic ramblings of the head of state is not only a dereliction of journalistic duty, but a display of pure cowardice.

For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

We know the VA system has flaws, but cutting ~35,000 jobs, including doctors, nurses and other clinical staff, isn’t likely to help, even if some roles have been vacant for a year (since the admin started slashing gov jobs…)

Veterans, has your care experience changed this year vs. in years past?

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will remove about 25,000 open and unfilled positions, a spokesperson said, adding that they were "COVID-era roles that are no longer necessary."

WHY NOT? Medicare could be modified to benefit all American Citizens, not just the old. Instead of putzing around and getting nothing done, it's time for our elected officials to step up and join the other democratic nations that have already made healthcare a citizen's right.
