This is how it's done.

This is a terrific illustration -- for elected officials but also for media figures -- of the incredible power of simply refusing to take a bullshit dodge for an answer. Keep asking the question, over and over again, and make the weasels squirm.

Nazis are getting so out and proud they’re starting to wear their SS uniforms to the bar but they’re finding a whole world filled with people who just wish a motherfucker would.

LGBTQ+ Youth Safety Hotline (317) 643-4888 As of yesterday, the general 988 safety hotline removed its direct extension for LGBTQIA+ youth. The Rainbow Youth Project has provided this number to fill the need for the community.

For those upset about “socialism” coming to NYC, can I introduce you to… …the NYPD, FDNY, sanitation department, libraries, schools, beaches, bridges, roads, parks, sewer and transit systems? When you complain about “socialism” coming to NYC, you’re admitting you don’t know what it is.

Yo resisters! Let’s all pack the house and be like Emily Feiner, #altCitizen of the week. Ms. Feiner was removed because she asked NY congressman Mike Lawler what his red line was for all the fraud and corruption. He didn’t answer, and when she persisted, she got tossed out. #Resist in peace ✌️

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.
