To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Ticketing a lawful permanent resident for not carrying their papers is unnecessary and doesn't make our cities safer.

We will continue to push back against the Trump administration's cruel attempts to stoke fear in immigrant communities.

ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair…I’m a resident’

Under federal law, registered foreign nationals must carry proof of registration with them at all times. But prior to a second Trump administration, it was rarely enforced.

President Trump is trying to deploy the military and federal law enforcement in U.S. cities to stoke fear, suppress free speech, and expand his power by any means necessary.

People across the country must keep pushing back and advocating for their communities and their rights.

(WSJ). Sign of the times with GM taking a huge 1.6 billion write off due to EV business, lack of Trump support, and the tariffs. I suspect this is part of the beginning of many companies beginning to show the Trump negative effects.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

7/ Democrats need to stand for something right now. And what need, to vote for this budget, is pretty simple and reasonable:

Don't cut people's health care just to pay for a billionaire tax cut.

Don't fund Trump's growing authoritarianism without checks on his corruption.

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov - STAND STRONG PLEASE! R's have the WH, and the Senate and House majorities. We know this is THEIR shutdown. They can call for a simple majority to end this like they've done before - there's a reason they are keeping this going. Keep messaging that!
