YOU try working in communications these days.
Annual reminder that if you’re Irish-American, your people were immigrants who may have — like my family — braved unimaginable conditions and came to America looking for a better like for themselves and their children. 🇮🇪☘️

From Vu Lee (nonprofit af): “the powerful do not attack the inconsequential.” You - friends, everyone who is under attack, the programs that work to ensure equality - have beautiful and powerful and marvelous consequence. Keep going.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Erasing our history won't erase us.

Transgender people have always been here — and we always will be.
U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website
The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights. Later, the Q+ also disappeared.

This is the first major victory for trans rights in the second Trump administration.

When we fight for trans rights, we win.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Gotta admit, I had intense fears of a second Trump administration but even I didn’t call Project 2025 UNDERSELLING his moves.

New politician test:

“Are trans rights human rights?”

If they answer ANYTHING other than an immediate YES, walk away while saying “I’m not voting for you.”

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
