When you say that race shouldn’t play a factor in college admissions and that we should all just be judged equally, this is how you sound.

For those who see this and roll their eyes or think “they are just looking for something to complain about”, ask yourself- is your state a safe and supportive place for trans individuals? Are *you* a safe and supportive person for trans individuals?
For the first time ever, we're declaring a national state of emergency as LGBTQ+ Americans face extremist attempts to roll back our rights. It's more important than ever we have the necessary resources to stay safe no matter where we are. https://t.co/EcnZgqDDCp

The Republican platform is so simple, it’s like taking breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack from a baby.
Democrats demand universal free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack for kids in school

Learning about things like race, identity, demographics, cultural/political ideals, etc. is fundamental to many college majors and, thus, many jobs. DeSantis is like “if you want to be trained in any field that involves working with humans you gotta look elsewhere”.
“If you want to do things like gender ideology, go to Berkeley.” — Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) touts bill banning diversity programs and certain courses and majors like gender studies at Florida public universities

This isn’t about “responsible journalism”and “hearing from both sides”. This is about one man being committed to telling lies that *harm people*. Never in the history of Donald Trump has it been a good idea to let him say whatever he wants without rules or consequences.

Amazing watch!
This is an incredible work of local news journalism from @NC5PhilWilliams. Republicans are abandoning democracy.

I am the Speaker of the House. There is no place that China is going to tell me where I can go or who I can speak to.

Meanwhile in Florida…
BREAKING: Florida Senate passes a bill allowing concealed carry in Florida without a permit. It will now head to @GovRonDeSantis’s desk. He had already said he will sign it. I’ll have more details tonight on @WCTV

The tragedy of this reality we have created. We are holding a gun to the head of America’s youth, without one held to our own.

😂Tucker Carlson’s “big reveal” about the January 6 footage is a claim that the majority of those who stormed the Capitol were “sight seers” and that the ~liberal media~ skewed your perception by making the whole thing seem violent when really only a few “hooligans” were violent.

Drag can be made age appropriate in the same way comedy, movies, books, plays or any other art form can be made for and enjoyed by kids! People who treat drag like its innately perverse do so because deep down they still think of gender non conforming people as innately perverse

TN House leader @WilliamLamberth on trans youth: “many of them need to be able to grow up to become the individuals that they were intended to be"—does this sound like someone who is trying to protect trans youth or does this sound like someone who thinks trans youth don’t exist?

The Governor of TN just banned trans youth from receiving gender affirming care in the state. Youth receiving such care must end it by March 2024.
