Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

lmao

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

If your legal name is different than what’s on your birth certificate, you WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO VOTE.

Married and took your spouse’s surname? Can’t vote if your legal name differs from what’s on your birth certificate, unless you have a passport! And you have to do everything *in person.*

hilarious that MAGA types complain about trans and gay people “destroying” traditional families when I’m pretty sure it was actually the several decades of Republican hate-broadcasts via talk radio and propaganda “news” networks that did that

I aspire to be this petty and at least 1% as talented

I loved the halftime show 😻

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself

What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

Most MAGA/fascists/whatever you want to call them are actually—at their core—soft, whiny, little piss babies. Outside of the militants who actually train for violence, they’re sniveling cowards when confronted. They’re pathetic and fueled by fear.

this is just the beginning of what his ego and ignorance are gonna do to this country

aligned. saltines are one of my favorite snacks 🖤

Image reads: DEI only existed because white people were racist. They had the opportunity to hire based on merit, and they hired their unqualified white friends every time. DEI isn’t racism. It’s a solution to historical racism. _ Akilah Hughes

an absolute fucking moron, folks. “Leader” of the “free” world. 🙄

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

James Harvey III, Tuskegee airman, leader of the team that won the US military's first aerial gunnery competition for combat aviators. AKA, Top Gun. James Harvey is a handsome Black man in WW2 uniform with an indomitableble look of calm confidence.

Tom Cruise in an aviation suit and Rayban aviator sunglasses from Top Gun.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:

In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."

The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.

So they refused to announce a winner🤡

Excellent post

No foreign power has ever posed as massive and immediate a threat to the United States as the current administration.

they don’t actually care if Trump lives to see a third term—they just want to change the 22nd Amendment so that their next ghoulish freak can have an unlimited reign

oh yeah, if they find out I’m nonbinary they completely lose their shit lol

if only they could realize it impacts them literally 0%

I personally don’t give a fuck about other people’s gender identities, like, are you happy??? Great! Other than that, not my business

Oh I know. And it’s so disappointing, because part of me was still hoping there’s a flicker of brain function still in there, but alas…

Harvard fires the entire staff of the Slavery Remembrance Program, the unit of its $100 million initiative tasked with identifying the direct descendants of those enslaved by Harvard affiliates

HBCU conf at Rutgers cancelled following Trump's EO

Amazon removing 'equity for Black people' and 'LGTQ+ rights' from its policies

Gotta be honest, I did expect big institutions from universities to big tech to bend the knee to the new overlord of the US. I did not expect them to do so this quickly.

Harvard firing the entire Slavery Remembrance Program. Rutgers canceling HBCU event. Amazon adopting a White supremacist policy.

aw this is very sweet 🥹😭 ty

lmao like ten years ago I had red lipstick and pink hair in my pfp on Facebook. They would say the hair dye fried my brain and would tell me to “go out on more lipstick”

Like…they can’t even insult effectively. Pathetic 😹

🎶H-O-T-D-O-G-S
ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS🎶

(don’t cross picket lines, though!)

Any time I have a ~discussion~ with a MAGAt they always call me fat and ugly within three replies and comment about my hair color making me stupid or something. Like today I got called fat and hard to look at lmao

On that note, I got my hair done today 💁‍♀️

Official Air Force memorandum Subject: Implementation of Executive Orders “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,” 20 January 2025; and “Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions,” 20 January 2025 The memorandum reads: In compliance with the subject Executive Orders, this memorandum directs disestablishment of all Departments of the Air Force Barrier Analysis Working Groups (DAFBAWGs) effective immediately. DAFBAWG Champions shall ensure cessation of all DAFBAWG activities, including outward facing media. Outward facing media must be updated to remove official sponsorship and to include the following disclaimer: “The views expressed are my own and do not constitute endorsement by the Department of Defense, Department of the Air Force, or the U. S. Government. My lead for this effort is the acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Manpower and Reserve Affairs), SAF/MR. Signed, Gary A. Ashworth, Acting End quote

This memo has led to the dissolution of the Dept of the Air Force Women’s Initiative Team as well as (so far) Reach Athena (air mobility command) and Dagger Athena (air force special operations command) women’s groups which are staffed by all volunteers and serve to improve policies and regulations which often benefit both men and women but are still considered DEI adjacent

The United States Air Force has sent out a memo regarding the immediate dissolution of their *volunteer* Women’s groups that focus on policies that benefit not just women, but men and children.

A screenshot of Elon Musk’s Twitter post that reads, “Don’t say Hess to Nazi accusations! Some people will Goebbels anything down! Stop Gőring your enemies! His pronouns would’ve been He/Himmler! Bet you did nazi that coming 😂”

but wait, I thought it’s just “autism” and he was “giving his heart”?

I took this screenshot myself, you can still see it on his account.
