We’re facing an unprecedented moment for democracy, and MAGA extremists are doubling down. We must fight like hell for our fundamental rights. Join the movement: fightlikehellpac.org

Saying all drag is bad for kids is like saying all movies are bad for kids or all music is bad for kids. We're talking drag bans on the YouTube channel today. Watch the full video here: youtu.be/nYzKfKU1CK0

14 months ago I had to evacuate from Oxford High Schol when a fifteen year old opened fire and killed four of my classmates and injured seven more. Tonight, I am sitting under my desk at Michigan State Univeristy, once again texting everyone “I love you” When will this end?

New: Twitter's mass layoffs just gutted teams devoted to combating election lies a few days before the midterms. Some of those fired were supposed to be on call this weekend monitoring for foreign disinfo & spam wapo.st/3WpzXng w/ @Cat_Zakrzewski @isaacstanbecker

Congrats on an amazing career, @SerenaWilliams! How lucky were we to be able to watch a young girl from Compton grow up to become one of the greatest athletes of all time. I'm proud of you, my friend—and I can't wait to see the lives you continue to transform with your talents.

Today is officially the day that Joe Biden signs the Inflation Reduction Act and I would like to make the case that it is a bigger deal than anything else that happened today, or this month, and possibly this year.

Serious question: how does American democracy survive when in times of controversy or crisis you have 100s, if not 1000s, of public figures willing to publicly and repeatedly lie about basic demonstrable facts; and carry on lying even after they’re confronted with those facts? 🤷🏽‍♂️

As are those of us who fought tooth and nail back in the day to get this passed Millions sat out in 2016 -I don’t like her -she’s a shoe in -He’ll never win -I don’t like either We are reaping what we have sown Anger doesn’t begin to express how we gray hairs feel

American democracy is a sham.
