As Pride Month comes to a close, let's carry this truth with us year-round: our liberation is tied. An attack on trans people, queer people, immigrants, Black and brown folks, or working people is an attack on all of us. Solidarity is our strength.

Elon Musk and the ultrawealthy far-right vanguard started all this. Reflect on that. The giga—now tera—rich have not been attacked or even taxed disproportionately. They've benefitted from liberal democracy more than anyone else. They have chosen a path of destruction and domination anyway.

The Trump admin is illegally gutting the Dept. of Education by outsourcing key responsibilities for civil rights & special education. Only Congress can create or dismantle a federal agency. This reckless dismantling of public education harms students, families, and educators.

Last night, House Republicans handed ICE and CBP billions more while families struggle to afford rent, groceries, child care, and healthcare. Congress shouldn't be writing blank checks for cruelty while everyday people are being crushed by rising costs. I voted no.

The South has historically been the testing ground for attacks on Black political power. The suppression of representation in one state will not stop at state lines. It impacts Congress, laws, & the balance of power nationwide. We must expand the Court & set term limits now.

This is a step in the right direction, but we need a full investigation into everyone connected to Epstein, and we need the full, unredacted files to understand who knew what. It's time that every person involved, regardless of party, title, or status, is held to account.

Making this the new primary picture for the Wikipedia entry on America.
Picture from video taken by Uber dash cam of an old white man pointing his six-shooter at a Black woman, presumably moments before he murdered her with six bullets at point blank range. He was targeted by a scammer trying to extort $12,000, and she was targeted by the scammer, led to believe she was heading to his house to pick up a package.

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

While healthcare costs skyrocket and families struggle to make ends meet, House Republicans are more concerned with holding hearings demonizing social benefit programs than working towards solutions that lift up working people. They are failing their constituents.
Three photos stacked vertically. The first is Rep. Summer Lee in a hearing room with captioning of her saying "You all have failed." Below is a photo of Rep. James Comer with a caption of him saying "no, you have failed." Finally is another photo of Rep. Lee with captioning of her saying "You have the gavel, Mr. Comer. We barely do hearings on anything that actually affects change. You have power here, and yet you don’t do anything."

It feels like the political overton window has shifted far to the Right because the wealth class controls our media and owns our politicians. Meanwhile, the vast, vast majority of people belong to what would now be portrayed as “the extreme Left.” It’s a perception game and narrative control.

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching." He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

Because of Republicans' manufactured healthcare crisis, some Pennsylvanians will pay more for their insurance than their mortgage. Their cruelty doesn't stop. You deserve healthcare that's affordable and accessible, and that's exactly what we're fighting for.

Gold and white text on a black background reads "Because of Republicans’ massive cuts to your healthcare, Pennsylvanians won’t be able to afford insurance." In a white quote box gold and white text reads "When my sister-in-law and I were on ACA, she paid $150 a month for insurance because her income was low. I paid $800 a month for the same insurance.
