I believe in protecting the downtrodden and minorities. I believe that Never Again really means Never Again. We have to protect animals from human ignorance, but not from the circle of life.

I am part of the LGBTQ+. If this bothers you, please leave.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

This whole story is insane
Deporting children of military veterans because they were born on an overseas military base.

This man has no citizenship now.

If passed, the SAVE Act would limit access to our democracy for millions of eligible voters.

The House has already passed it, but the Senate can still stop it in its tracks.

Tell your Senator to REJECT this bill in defense of our voting rights.
Stop the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to reject this bill now.

Why can't people care anymore? I'm so tired of all the hate. I'm a non-binary Jew. I'm not a bad person.

You know what sucks? When it gets driven home that the people you care about mean more to you than you do to them.

This isn't hypothetical.

The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

This is petty. The FBI has reassigned several agents simply for being photographed kneeling in solidarity with racial justice protesters in D.C. during the 2020 demonstrations after George Floyd’s murder.
