We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

these fucking news outlets around here. The headline on the page: ‘Hands Off’ protest draws thousands to downtown Raleigh in national rally cry against Trump and Musk
Thousands. When we had hundreds at the Tesla protest last week, they reported "dozens" - motherfuckers

This woman is my hero. So much moral goodness and courage.
To everyone who expressed interest in running for office, I'm working on setting up a form for a 15-minute 1-on-1 call with me. I had my first meeting today.
If you've responded to that post (or this one), I'll send you a link to the form sometime this week.

If you are trans and want to get involved in politics, let me know and I will set up a time to chat with you about the process and how to take those first steps.

1. This decision to cut millions in funding to Columbia is dangerous and not going to help counter antisemitism on campus. If anything it might just make the problem worse.

Yup. There is nothing normal about a democratic country coming after academic freedom and free speech at universities. But destroying education was always the goal.
People—don’t fall for it
The smackdown on Columbia is NOT about what happened with those protestors (which I abhor)
Trump is using it as an excuse to start his campaign against universities, teachers, students, and ideas

Newsom throwing trans athletes under the bus is despicable, especially since he had the opportunity to be a beacon of hope for the trans community and chose to side with bigots and oppressors instead. The backlash is coming and traitors should be shunned.

the thing about chasing what you think is public opinion is that if and when things turn you will have made a bunch of statements and taken a bunch of stances that you’ll have to disavow. probably a better strategy just to say what you actually believe and stand by it. anyway, this guy sucks.

Musk can’t accept that transgender people exist, but he’s all on board with sex robots. Methinks he’s just a misanthrope who can’t stand any being that he cannot enslave and use.

It needs to be more plainly stated that Russia's goals are to destroy the West, including the U.S., that Donald Trump and JD Vance, as recipients of intelligence reports, are perfectly aware that these are Russia's goals, & that Trump and Vance are doing what they are doing w/ this knowledge in hand

Europe’s stepping up. Proud to see it — they won’t be bullied by Trump. I hate that we can’t stand with them.
Our own citizens are being hit with inflation and job loss because of Trump’s brainless policies, and instead of fixing it, he’s siding with dictators.
Mark my words: America will be back.
