Trump has finally said something so caustic and irredeemable that even some republicans have stopped pretending like they don’t see his tweets to condemn it.

What an asshole.

So to get rid of men dressed as woman, who normally just wanna pee and go on with their days. You got PISS (Potty Intelligence Security Service)

PISS- I imagine masked, armed men, in bulletproof vests how know exactly when you're alone in that bathroom. There's no way they abuse that power right?

As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.

Given the way, they are hunting down people who are in the US legally, we should stop calling at immigration enforcement. They are not enforcing the laws they are breaking them. Maybe we should call it “immigration harassment” or “immigrant persecution”.

In a world where fewer and fewer people concern themselves with the plight of others, the loss of Rob Reiner, who cared deeply about humanitarian causes, feels that much more devastating. RIP: 1947-1925.

James Talarico: Why do we have a trillionaire when veterans are sleeping on the streets? I’m all for success, but this is not success. This is hoarding. The reason poverty still exists in the wealthiest country in history is not because we can’t feed the poor. It’s because we can’t satisfy the rich

Q: If DOJ doesn't release the files it has by next Friday, is there anything Congress can do to compel that to happen?

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

On December 17, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that would criminalize gender-affirming care for youth.

Tell Congress to protect health care for trans youth and their families NOW.
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.
