FCC Chair Carr questions whether ABC’s “The View” should be subject to review from the agency.

In a podcast appearance, Carr said the daytime show could be subject to the FCC’s equal time rule.

I cited actual Kirk quotes where he calls Black women less intelligent, demonizes me for being Muslim, & dehumanizes LGBTQ people—& his supporters are upset at me for “speaking evil of the dead.”

If quoting him is “speaking evil” maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.

This passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection.

Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.
The Republican-passed “big beautiful bill” takes away health insurance coverage from ALL transgender people, regardless of age.

HRC President Kelley Robinson calls it "cruel."

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Can't wait for the next round of "well-meaning liberals" throwing their hands up and pointing to this as reasonable grounds for continuing to do nothing to protect us.
"There's 400 pages of evidence your transness needs to be cured, though..."
As if we didn't have *enough* institutional transphobia to worry about, the US now has its own version of the Cass Report, baselessly contesting the efficacy of transition care without even daring to name the author(s).

The global trans panic is aiming for total and utter trans epistemicide.

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release.

Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

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.

Tarlov is correct. I find this story particularly annoying because of how (perhaps deliberately) unfocused it is. These horrific fires aren't the result of LA city budgetary policy, even if $17M was truly cut. It's the fault of the capitalist climate criminals who are killing us all as they profit.
Jessica: There is a story that there was $17 million cut from the fire budget and that is inaccurate. The budget had an extra $17 million because they bought one off expenses. Respiratory protection for firefighters. There’s an extra $50 million set aside for the fire department

The police exist to protect property, not people.
This post from @alexnpress.bsky.social is just too on the nose of how law enforcement is used and implemented to protect the capital of the obscenely rich.

Florida is effectively forcefully detransitioning all incarcerated trans people. They submitted dozens of trans women to unnecessary and humiliating breast exams and will be replacing HRT with psychotherapy (despite many likely already doing so).

Roughly 68,000 Americans die each year due to lack of healthcare.

Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in America.

It’s way past time for single-payer healthcare.
