This LGBTQ History Month, we’re not just honoring the past — we’re fighting for a future where all trans youth can grow up and thrive as themselves.

Blue graphic with a quote in pink and white text reading "Our son is trans. He knew he was a boy, long before he had access to social media or had met other trans people... My son is alive and has a great life because of gender-affirming care.” The quote is attributed to: Anonymous parent of a trans child

COLLINS: The Dept of Energy just canceled $1b for a hydrogen hub that covers Montana. Is that taking away good-paying jobs?

SHEEHY: Of course it is. We want govt to be open

C: But the Energy Secretary says he would've pulled that funding even if govt was open

S: ... Well, that's unfortunate

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

See you Saturday.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

Wait one damn minute‼️

I know Lisa Murkowski isn’t up on her high horse talking about the lack of trust between Republicans and Democrats after she cast the deciding “Yes” on the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill and slipped in backroom deals for Alaska.

She’s part of the problem & needs to own it!

ONE.

In total, only 7 or 8 had any kind of criminal record.

This was an abuse of power that had no purpose other than terrifying American citizens.

As I've noted, central to Stephen Miller's propaganda is the claim that the Chicago complex targeted by ICE was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists."

Now @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports that the number of TdA members netted in that raid is down to *one.*

Seems like it's been happening a lot more for me recently. A sign of the times, maybe, and wondering if I buried my head when I should have been doing more?

I keep telling myself better later than never, lol. Hopefully, it passes, and we look back at these feelings and laugh.
