This is a space for leftist witches. This is a space for neurodivergent witches. This is a space for LGBTQ+ witches. This is a space for democratic socialist witches. This is a space for therapist witches.

The Trump administration's illegal cancellation of the Digital Equity Act leaves underserved communities without means to bridge the digital divide. Congress must fight for people's ability to access and navigate the Internet by reinstating grantees' funding and guarding against future budget cuts.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

This is a big decision! Mass termination of National Endowment for the Humanities grants (remember DOGE doing this?) "unlawful, unconstitutional... and without legal effect." Terminations violate 1st Amendment & equal protection component of 5th Amendment, "and without statutory authority."

Take this with a grain of salt, but it's not *just* hopecore: I don't know if we are properly considering how much faster info spreads among avg people than it used to. It was a LOT easier to suppress info before the internet. Back then, many *really* didn't know; today, millions know at a click.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

We’re not sure what separates the Trump admin from the “terrorists” it claims to be fighting. You watch whats happening and can’t even process it—what the hell is going on is all we can think. Our Constitution grants everyone within this country the same legal protections, regardless of citizenship.
