We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

Also incredible that a Republican terrorist shot four people in order to gain control of the Minnesota legislature and journalists aren’t confronting the Republican president who has often condoned violence about it every day.

Thanks, Governor Pritzker. You'd make a great president. Loved your speech at the convention.

Trump’s incompetent administration is back at it—this time with RFK Jr.’s full-blown conspiracy circus—gutting healthcare and endangering LGBTQ+ lives. Between Signal-Gate scandals and anti-science nonsense, it’s clear: the MAGA playbook is chaos, cruelty, and cluelessness. #StonewallDemocrats

🚨 Hands Off DC! 🚨 Call your senators NOW! Extremists are slashing $1B+ from DC’s budget & attacking its right to self-govern. This is a direct hit on LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice & democracy. We refuse to kneel to fascists. DC Statehood NOW! #HandsOffDC #DCStatehood @stonewalldems51.bsky.social

Trump vowed that he wouldn't "touch" social security. But if there's nobody around to collect info, process claims or send out checks he's not responsible. He didn't touch a thing!

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson made a statement today opposing the SAVE Act (H.R. 22), proposed federal legislation that would block millions of eligible U.S. citizens from voting in federal elections: lnks.gd/2/2zp92N5

Secretary Benson statement opposing the SAVE Act part one of two.

The politicians pushing the SAVE Act are trying to sell it as a reasonable election security bill, but what it actually does is block millions of eligible U.S. citizens from casting their vote in future elections.

We know this because some states including Arizona and Kansas have already tried this failed policy of requiring specific documents like a birth certificate or U.S. passport to register to vote. In the process, they stripped tens of thousands of their own citizens from casting their legal ballot. In Kansas, the courts overturned the law for violating the U.S. Constitution.

Who is the SAVE Act most likely to silence? Women – especially married women. More than 2.2 million Michigan women have married names that are different from the name on their birth certificate. If those women who have changed their names don’t have a valid U.S. passport –more than 5.8 million Michiganders do not – they might not be able to register to vote...

Statement part two of two.

...This bill also makes voting harder for seniors, adoptees, college students, tribal citizens, low-income earners, people in rural communities, Black Michiganders and active-duty military servicemembers.

The SAVE Act and laws like it not only block Americans from voting but also make elections much harder and more expensive to administer. Voters could no longer register to vote by mail or online. Every time a voter updates their registration or changes their address in Michigan, they’d have to go in person to a clerk’s office with their documentation.

We’re on a dangerous path. But I stand with the people of Michigan, who have overwhelmingly passed ballot measures to make voting more accessible for every eligible citizen. Together, we will hold the line on protecting these basic constitutional rights so we can get back to the business of working together on honest proposals to keep Michigan’s elections safe, secure and accessible.

Statement from @jeremycomeauma.bsky.social, President of the @natstonewalldems.bsky.social, on the Escalating Attacks Against LGBTQ+ Rights

Statement from Jeremy Comeau, President of the National Federation of Stonewall Democrats, on the Escalating Attacks Against LGBTQ+ Rights
Donald Trump’s recent announcement of plans to sign an executive order severely restricting access to gender-affirming care for transgender youth is an alarming escalation in the ongoing attack on the LGBTQ+ community. This proposed order would direct federal agencies to withhold funding from institutions providing gender-affirming treatments to individuals under 19, effectively imposing a nationwide ban on such care for minors. This move not only undermines the medical community's consensus on the necessity of gender-affirming care but also endangers the health and well-being of transgender youth across the nation. The targeting of transgender individuals is a cruel and calculated effort to deny basic healthcare to some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

At the same time, Idaho House Republicans are taking a page from the Project 2025 playbook by passing a resolution urging the Supreme Court to overturn marriage equality. This calculated and dangerous attack on the LGBTQ+ community is a direct assault on the fundamental right of every person to live and love freely. Labeling gay couples as “illegitimate” is not only offensive but also a blatant attempt to strip away the progress we have fought so hard to achieve.
We must fight relentlessly for every issue that impacts our community—because our lives, rights, and freedoms depend on it. From safeguarding marriage equality to ensuring access to gender-affirming healthcare and advancing HIV/AIDS prevention, we cannot give an inch. The stakes have never been higher. Now, more than ever, Democrats and allies must stand united in this fight for equality and justice. Together, we will resist this hateful agenda, defend our hard-won rights, and ensure that every member of our community is supported and protected.

The mainstream media helped elect Donald Trump. They wanted to report on his insanity. They will have a lot to report on with these cabinet picks. Now get off of Joe Biden's back!

So let me get this straight. If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check. But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't? Got it.
