I ask the City of Hamtramck to tear down the wall of divisiveness they’ve created and raise the flag of equality.

Anyone who accepts evil without protesting against it is one who cooperates with it.
And make no mistake: homophobia and transphobia are indeed forms of evil, just as much as islamophobia is.

Hamtramck:
I am not a stranger to you. I am not an agitator.
I am your attorney general. And yes, I am also gay.

I am a single, disabled mom to 3 kids, 2 of whom are also disabled. We have been homeless since February, living in motels. We are trying to get stable housing, but ALL my money has been going to motels. We need your help. Please share.

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.
The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

These bank failures were entirely avoidable if Congress & the Fed had done their jobs and kept strong banking regulations in place since 2018.
SVB & Signature are gone, and now Washington must act quickly to prevent the next crisis.

As usual, Republicans deliberately set things up to break and then blame Democrats when the shit breaks.

Just like when Trump did the same with trains and disbanded covid regulation.

I am exhausted by folks blaming Biden when Trump was the one who deregulated banks in 2018. We are witnessing the consequences of GOP policy. nytimes.com/2023/03/13/opini…
