Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.
If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

Power and ultimate control. Canceling late-night shows. Silencing the press. Threats of war against U.S. cities. Using force against peaceful protesters and journalists. Now Trump is demanding Bondi prosecute his political opponent.
Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”
I will as well.
🚨BREAKING: Rep. Ro Khanna just motioned to SUBPOENA FCC chairman Brendan Carr in the House Oversight Committee to stop the intimidation of private businesses and assault on free speech
💉🧵PSA 🚨 We don’t know for sure but are very worried RFKJ’s ACIP is about to restrict access to RSV monoclonal immunization for babies (nirsevimab and clesrovimab). If your baby is eligible, get them vaccinated asap. RSV season starts late Oct-early Nov. See below for immunization recommendation info
Unemployment is climbing because tariffs drove up costs & slowed growth. Rate cuts wouldn’t fix that. The Fed manages inflation, not Trump’s bad trade war math. Tariffs = higher prices = businesses paying more = less money to pay employees = unemployment.
Don’t fall for the spin
Black graphic titled "LGBTQ Students in Public Schools, Know Your Rights" Underneath the title there is a two-columned bulleted list reading "Schools can’t discriminate against you on the basis of your sexual orientation or gender identity. Your school is required to respond to reports of harassment or discrimination. You have the right to dress in a way that reflects your gender identity at school and at school events. School officials can’t “out” you to anyone, including your parents, without your permission. You have a right to express yourself, including discussing LGBTQ topics. Schools can’t prevent you from bringing dates of the same gender to school events. Multiple courts have affirmed trans students’ right to access separated programs and facilities (like bathrooms) consistent with their gender identity, and some states explicitly protect this right. We’re rooting for you this school year, and we have your back." At the bottom of the doc it reads "KNOW YOUR RIGHTS" and there is a pink ACLU logo.
You have the right to be yourself at your public school, no matter what lawmakers say.

Ok Minnesota, step up, call Gov Walz and tell him we want to redistrict the map like California is going to do! It’s a must! 651-201-3400!
Complex…
D.C. is not a dangerous city.
Nor is L.A.
The only danger is the Trump regime and its secret police force—ICE.
They are committing crimes.
They are terrorizing communities.
They are tearing families apart.
They are kidnapping people.
They are the problem.
And we the people are done with them.
After @riaclu.bsky.social sued, a judge blocked the Trump administration from imposing ideological restrictions on federal grant recipients who serve domestic violence survivors, LGBTQ youth, and unhoused people.
These organizations can continue their critical work without political interference.
KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill!
And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic!
We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥
FEMA is using our taxes—intended for disaster relief—to build concentration camps.
While they shift focus towards creating “more facilities like Florida’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’” they’re failing to support Texas and are intentionally withholding critical relief from states with Democratic governors.
Collective Shout is a registered charity.
That means you can register a complaint about their conduct, which is in breach of charity regulation.
I’ve registered my complaint. I suggest we all do. It only took them 1000 people to get Visa and Mastercard fold. We can ruin them.
The EPA is preparing a proposal that would revoke a critical 2009 legal determination stating that greenhouse gases are harmful to human health. That finding has been the backbone of U.S. climate regulations for over a decade.
People in ICE concentration camps are forced to kneel to eat food off plates “like dogs”, held on unsanitary buses in parking lots for more than 24 hours, crammed for weeks in freezing intake rooms where they sleep on the floor, and denied adequate medical care.
This is a human rights crisis.
When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
Trump tried to sneak a bill provision limiting courts’ contempt powers, but it was caught and removed. Legal experts Shant Karnikian and Brian Kabateck say contempt is vital for enforcing court orders, especially against Trump-aligned violators.

The Trump administration is trying to censor LGBTQ people and our history, but we won't be erased and we won't be silenced.
Jamie Lee Curtis on The Late Show cancellation.
“They’re trying to silence us. That won’t work…we’ll just get louder”
We’re posting about this now in hopes of drawing public attention to NOAA’s Atlas 15 project which was quietly shut down by the Trump administration before it could be completed. The work was nearly finished and could still be restarted if pressure mounts.
Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs
Since 2021, Mastercard has been imposing strict regulations on platforms that use the company's financial services — and Steam appears to be their latest target.
Tell Mastercard to reverse this harmful policy at action.aclu.org/petition/mas....
You shouldn't care because it might happen to you someday. You should care because it is happening to others RIGHT NOW.
Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
Tom Homan (Border Czar) is enabling ICE’s racial profiling and kidnappings.
Todd Lyons (ICE Acting Director) said mass deportation should be like “[Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.”
Stephen Miller (architect of ICE’s policies) is a known white supremacist.
ICE is a Nazi organization.
We want ICE out of our Hospitals.
