What’s happening at MacArthur Park is outrageous. Dozens of ICE agents stormed a working-class, immigrant neighborhood—terrorizing families and spreading fear without cause. We demand an immediate end to these raids. Our communities are not war zones!

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

There are no open town halls, essentially no opportunities to hold Republican representatives accountable. So we have to MAKE opportunities, which they apparently don't believe they're under any obligation to provide.

Another insane story. The US has confiscated this family’s baby and put her into foster care, basically because the parents have tattoos — and deported the mom to Venezuela and trafficked the dad into prison in El Salvador. They have no known criminal record

Fascism finds foot soldiers because there are always people eager to follow orders and love it. And if nobody inside ICE, CBP, or DHS will stand up or walk out, then stop pretending the problem is just Trump. The rot runs deep.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other
The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
