Please call your representatives! The Trans people of America are not causing the violence in this country! Punishing a minority to cover up for the Republicans encouraging violence is the opposite of being the Proud & the Brave. www.thepinknews.com/2025/09/29/t...

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

describing struggling people who need help as "playing video games all day"—all while giving $38 billion in gov contracts to elon musk to *literally* play video games all day—is vile on every possible level. failed state behavior

”Finland can’t solve the US egg crisis” The US has asked at least Finland, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands for eggs amid the growing bird flu-induced egg shortage in the US. Responses have been rather lukewarm. The audacity of first imposing tariffs and then asking for help is kinda pathetic

During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived. His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky — who has been fighting Russia and Putin and who should now not trust US and Trump.

The Chilling Line Trump Just Crossed On Transgender People
With the latest trans military executive order, the administration has given up all pretense of "evidence-based care," and has moved to the kind of dehumanization meant to justify atrocity.

alt text version of the letter
1750 H Street, NW Suite 400 Washington DC 20006-3900
January 24, 2025
Mr. Sergio Gor
Director of Presidential Personnel
The White House
Dear Mr. Gor:
I am writing in response to your email sent to me and other Inspectors General earlier this evening wherein you informed each of us that “due to changing priorities, your position as Inspector General . . . is terminated, effective immediately.”
As Chairperson of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), I recommend that you reach out to White House Counsel to discuss your intended course of action. At this point, we do not believe the actions taken are legally sufficient to dismiss
Presidentially Appointed, Senate Confirmed Inspectors General.
Specifically, based upon the 2022 amendments to the Inspector General Act of 1978, the President must notify Congress 30 days prior to removal of an IG and provide “substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons” for such removal. 5 U.S.C. § 403(b), as amended by the section 5202(a) of the Securing Inspector General Independence Act of 2022 (Title LII, Subtitle A, of P.L. 117-263, 136 Stat. 2395, 3222). The requirement to provide the substantive rationale, including detailed and case specific reasons, was added to better enable Congress to engage on and respond to a proposed removal of an Inspector General in order to protect the independence of Inspectors General. 
Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at Hannibal.Ware@sba.gov.
Sincerely,
Hannibal “Mike” Ware
CIGIE Chairperson

Rand Paul, Chairman, Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affiairs Gary Peters, Ranking Member, Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental

The Trump Administration has officially closed the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. This is a crushing blow to all the significant and historic work we've made over the last 4 years. Biden's work on guns has saved thousands of lives- the Trump admin is trying to reverse that.

It’s notable that the double Nazi salute is not only clear, it’s also perfectly in line with Elon Musk and Trump’s ideology of white genocide, great replacement theory, and the cult of reproduction. And Nazis are very much feeling empowered to be visible today.
