S3491/A4656 Update 🏳️‍⚧️
The bill wasn’t heard in lame duck, but this is not a loss. Grassroots organizing secured real commitments. Legislative leaders will work with the trans community on strong healthcare protections, with action expected early in the new administration. 🏳️‍⚧️💪 #TransRightsNow

From Bangkok to Brooklyn, whistles have played a vital role in resistance movements for decades.

No amount of gaslighting will convince sane and rational Americans that we didn’t see what we saw on January 6, 2021.

Let’s cut through some of the bullshit and lies…

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th?

Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

#January6 is a reminder of how fragile democracy is. After the Capitol attack in 2021 Andy Kim stayed behind to clean and restore dignity. That same commitment to care and responsibility was reflected in the statement he shared at yesterday’s Trenton Trans Rights Rally.

Heads up, NJ: two significant bills will be in committee on Monday. They move fast in lame duck, and the public rarely gets much notice. Thank you

So many NJ marriages, including Louise and Marsha’s, became possible when NJ legalized gay marriage in 2013. Jack Ciattarelli didn’t support it then, and his top advisor now wants to roll it back. We can trust @mikiesherrill.bsky.social to protect marriage equality.

You Don’t Say “F$%k You” to the Courts and Then Get to Sit on One. We must protect these blue and blue-leaning states and territories , NJ, PA, DE & the USVI, from a lifetime judicial appointment that threatens the rule of law. @democracydocket.com @njindivisible.bsky.social

...a troubling narrative of school district leadership allegedly hostile to diversity and inclusion.
She claims her removal wasn’t due to any wrongdoing, but rather her vocal support for inclusive education and for colleagues who promoted diversity. #DEI #Belonging

My philosophy is very simple: when you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to say something, to do something. Stand up! Speak up! Speak out!

There are moments in our history when more is asked of us as Americans, we are in one of those moments now.

Vote will be today or tomorrow.

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves.

If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such.

🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

📣 On her June 19th Facebook Live, historian Heather Cox Richardson breaks down U.S. v. Skrmetti—and drives home a powerful truth: rights are not a la carte 🛑🧾 either all of us have rights or none of us have rights.
