An American president being found liable for sexual assault is a national disgrace. It’s a stain on the country that will never wash out.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Screenshot of a post by Team Talarico quoting James Talarico saying national media never ask him about housing or prescription drug costs, only about trans athletes. He argues billionaires are the real minority harming the country, while trans and undocumented people each make up about 1% of the population. Below is a photo of Talarico speaking on MSNBC with a Texas flag behind him.

You just stand up for people who are more in danger than you. You just do it. It could be a self-interest thing, that you realize that someday you will be the one in danger. But it’s even more important to do it if that’s never true. You just do it because humans are worth standing up for.

ICE raids on schools and workplaces don’t make us safer — they rip apart families, terrorize children, and criminalize hard work. This is cruelty masquerading as policy. We need humane immigration reform, not fear.
