Private equity is looting our malls, doctors' offices, and nursing homes.
Heck, you name it, and private equity has probably already bought it.
Their scheme spares no one. I’m fighting to stop it.

Wrong bathroom for your gender presentation? You are at extremely high risk of assault EVEN THOUGH the law says that's what you should be doing.

So I'm just blocking this shithead and I know my followers don't need to hear this but I worry wider liberals find this kind of argument convincing and this is what they think it is all about so I'm going to break it down.
Bathroom bills aren't just about 'getting to use your choice of bathroom'.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Today we remember and grieve all those we have lost. But we also commit – collectively – to fighting for those of us who are left. There will be hope as long as we continue to stand together.
