Today, the Trump administration finalized a new policy that allows discrimination against transgender people in the health care system.

Amid a pandemic.

During Pride Month.

On the anniversary of the Pulse massacre.

BREAKING: The Trump administration has issued a rule rolling back transgender protections in the Affordable Care Act during Pride month.

It is also the fourth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting.

And just like that, the Trump administration defines sex as defined by biology and wipes out health care discrimination protections for all trans people in the US. https://t.co/mHm2A7eUcd

Not just during Pride month but on the anniversary of Pulse.

Police departments get hundreds of millions of dollars a year, but children have “school lunch debt.”

Make it make sense.

Unbundle the Police.

I wrote about my favorite frame for police reform—and why it makes sense to think of policing as a gnarl of overlapping services and actions that should be disentangled, demilitarized, de-escalated, and diminished.

BREAKING: Steven Mnuchin is now flat-out REFUSING to disclose the businesses receiving $500,000,000,000 in bailout funds, claiming the info is "confidential"

4.5 MILLION businesses received government funds. Zero transparency.

Unconscionable, jaw-dropping corruption.

On Sunday, you started conversations with each other about what our future without police will look like. We will need to keep thinking and working through our questions together in the coming months as we create a roadmap for Minneapolis.

I love how Mitt Romney reappears once every three months to outshine the entire Republican Party by doing the absolute least.

[Luke Russert @LukeRussert]

The president is 73. His opponent is 77. The Speaker of the House is 80. The Senate Majority Leader is 78. The average age of the House is 58, in the Senate it is 62--one of the oldest Congresses in U.S. History. Stop thinking this isn't part of the problem.

If you look at how housing segregation works in America, you can see how things ended up this way. And once you see it, you can't un-see it.

This is how I, a 45-year-old white woman and mother of 6, currently at her peak Karen power, went from assuming police work was a necessary part of functional communities, to becoming a passionate advocate for #abolishthepolice #defundthepolice, over the course of one week.

There's a whole body of literature on it but it's much more rewarding to their ego to pretend that the stupid masses are once again being unreasonable, so they can play the role of the adult in the room, than to read and possibly imagine a different world than the one we live in

The stimulus checks were meant to get average Americans through the lockdown, but those $1,200 payouts were small change compared with the billions in tax breaks the CARES Act handed out to the country’s wealthiest. https://t.co/GKiwgmIjtX
