We're now 1 year, 1 month, & 17 days into
Donald TRUMP's Presidency, & I still have all my
rights as a woman. My voting rights haven't
been taken, I haven't been discriminated
against, or any of what Democrats said would
happen.

I will never have empathy for the parents pushing these bills. If my child ever felt like he couldn’t confide in me, that failure would be mine.

Ruining the lives of others through lawmaking because you cannot love your child for who they are is not the solution.

/endrant. Great article.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

American should really understand that Republicans are great at running campaigns, but they suck at running the government. It’s a pattern and a fact. 92,000 jobs lost this month.

James Talarico: "Our economy is broken. Our political system is broken. Even our relationships with each other feel broken. And that's because the most powerful people in the world want it that way. The real fight is not right vs. left. It is top vs. bottom."

The Idaho Medical Association has decided that it is officially β€œneutral” on the issue of preventing suicide among transgender teens. Gotta be nice to the Christofascist lawmakers, and protect their β€œpolitical capital” for the REAL important things, like…? Total cowards.

I wonder if this is why DOJ hid this document about Epstein & Trump (and not about the many sexual assault allegations.) #doj #epstein #files #trump

They will quite literally burn our state to the ground to protect years of tax giveaways to the wealthiest Idahoans.

They're out to bully Boise and queer solidarity because a flag they don't like flies in a city they don't live in.

Pathetic loser shit from embarrassing cowards.

🎢Oh give me a home
Where there's no Kristi Noem
That psychotic belongs in a cell
She will reap what she gave
Dogs will pee on her grave
The day she is rotting in hell.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
