Our kids are in crisis not because of who they are, but because of how society treats them. Every hateful law and “don’t say gay” policy sends a deadly message when what they deserve is love and protection. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️✨
Trump and his GOP enablers fear protest because it reminds them who’s really in charge — the people. Trying to silence that is as un-American as it gets. Keep showing up! ✊🏽🇺🇸
This is unconscionable. Survivors of domestic violence and trafficking aren’t criminals; they’re victims who trusted our laws to protect them. Deporting them while their cases are pending shows just how quickly we’ve drifted from humanity and the rule of law.
Four months ago, Yessenia Ruano put her home in Wisconsin up for rent, packed a few bags and left for her native El Salvador. Now, she is among immigrant women who say ICE is wrongfully detaining and deporting domestic violence or human trafficking victims. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

This is not about “neutrality.” It’s about who gets heard and who gets silenced. The notion that race can’t factor into redistricting is a lie — one designed to strip power from communities of color. It’s time for this Court to remember its duty — equality isn’t optional.
As a mother who’s spent decades fighting for a child with autism, I can tell you — this move will devastate families. Without federal oversight, children with disabilities will be left to fend for themselves — and that’s not just policy failure, it’s moral failure. 💔
Every university president should take notes from Dr. Sally Kornbluth. Integrity over intimidation. Truth over tyranny. MIT didn’t just reject Trump’s offer; they defended the very foundation of academic freedom. ✊🏽📚
MIT became the first university to reject the Trump administration’s compact of demands, after its president Sally Kornbluth said the school already “meet or exceed many standards outlined” by the federal government.

This indictment is payback, plain and simple. When prosecutors refused to charge Letitia James,Trump replaced them with his own counsel. Backed by “absolute immunity,” he’s now ruling without guardrails. America, this is what impeachable tyranny looks like.

JUST IN: New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted in federal court as President Donald Trump's Justice Department continues to pursue charges against his political opponents, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. https://cnn.it/48oH9Zl
The rule of law just pushed back on militarized politics. A federal judge’s halt on deploying state Guard troops to Portland is a win for our democracy, and kudos to @governor.ca.gov for standing firm.
Breaking News: Diddy sentenced to 50 months. Judge Subramanian struck a balance, lighter than probation’s 5–7 year rec but far tougher than the defense’s ask. Accountability still stands. #diddysentencing
He lied about knowing Project 2025, lied about backing it, and now proudly ties himself to it. That’s corruption so brazen it doesn’t even bother to hide anymore.
Being Latino is not probable cause. Period. Detaining citizens because they “look undocumented” is racial profiling at its ugliest and it shreds the Constitution in broad daylight. 😤 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...

Sean Combs’ sentencing this Friday must stand as validation for the survivors who bravely exposed his abuse. Their trauma deserves to be recognized with a punishment that reflect the gravity of the crimes he committed.
When a federal judge uses words like “vituperation and invective,” it’s a fancy way of saying Trump’s lawsuit was trash. This isn’t Truth Social—it’s federal court.
3 minutes of pure leadership 🙏🏽😮‍💨
Karen Attiah's ousting is media surrendering to extremism.

She told the truth about America's racial double standards & lost her platform.

White violence gets sympathy. Black voices get silenced.

This is censorship, and it betrays the people.
Police had distance. They had a barrier. They had options. They chose bullets. And Idaho chose excuses. A ridiculous outcome that proves police are shielded, no matter the cost. #JusticeForVictor
