Nothing radical about not wanting to get shot in school. Nothing radical about wanting control over your own body. Nothing radical about wanting enough clean air and clean water to live a healthy life. Nothing radical about wanting the wealthy to pay their fair share.

On #TransDayOfVisibility , let's have more visibility of who's behind the anti-trans movement.
Groups like Alliance Defending Freedom are waging a multimillion-dollar campaign cruelly targeting trans people.
These groups don't care about freedom — they just want to spread hate.

Raffensperger’s approach may be more polite than the vulgar tactics Trump employed in 2020, but his goal is the same: limiting voting rights so that Republicans can win. Raffensperger is no hero; he is just another Republican vote suppressor. https://www.democracydocke...

The richest 1% took home nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together over the past two years.
If that doesn’t convince you wealth inequality is out of control, I don’t know what will.
