I disagree about Warnock. He likes to grandstand and then vote for demons like Marco Rubio to be confirmed. Warnock is controlled opposition.

I would add Andrea Lucas to that list

EEOC Director of Information Governance and Strategy Marc Seawright spent the last eight years working on projects to prevent and fight workplace discrimination.

But under the Trump administration, he says the agency became a hostile work environment itself.

Under Trump, federal workplace anti-discrimination agency engaged in...workplace discrimination

A judge rules that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission created a hostile work environment for a transgender employee.

The EEOC is supposed to help workers who experienced hostile work environments. But under Trump, it became a hostile work environment itself, according to one judge’s recent ruling. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

He voted to confirm Marco Rubio. He is part of the problem.

They’re still trying to martyr Charlie Smirk when there are literal tens of thousands of Palestinian martyrs.

This story so has the DNC written all over it. We don’t care. The felon-in-chief is a rapist, con man, and continues to grift while in office. Report on that. Every. Damn. Day. And, as always, #transrightsarehumanrights and #freepalestine

University complicity with the Trump administration is the most pressing issue. That includes FLS which has remained silent as Trump and company has attacked trans people and the alum (ahem, me) who has stood up to him.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Anita Hill testified during the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination hearings today in 1991. Hill said that Thomas had sexually harassed her while he was her supervisor at the Department of Education and the EEOC.

They were also vetted by The Heritage Foundation and are ill-equipped to do actual civil rights work.

We’ve BEEN in an absolute nightmare for decades. Black and brown people have been telling you all this forever. This move was predictable.

The flotilla also includes U.S. Veterans, medics, and everyday people who have stepped up when our complicit government greenlit a genocide. There is also a large team supporting on the ground, behind the scene. It has been the honor of my lifetime to be a small part of this team. #FREEPALESTINE

BREAKING: Israel has begun intercepting the Global Sumud Flotilla, which is carrying 500 people from around the world seeking to bring aid to Palestinians starved by Israel's siege.

The crew includes 24 Americans, EU Members of Parliament, Nelson Mandela’s grandson, and Greta Thunberg.

BREAKING: Israel Begins Intercepting 44-Ship Global Sumud Flotilla

The massive flotilla, which Italian and Spanish ships shadowed until it approached Gaza, is the fourth one attacked in the last year.

McCarthy is always around and well-known. NYPD thinks they are the only ones that can surveil.
