This Transgender Day of Remembrance, I'm thinking of our trans neighbors whose lives were stolen by hate & prejudice. Folks like Rita Hester, a Black trans woman and beloved community member who was killed in the #MA7, and whose murder sparked this important day of recognition.

Trump knew he was going to lose this vote badly so he's trying to save face. He should direct the DOJ to release all the Epstein files NOW without waiting for a vote in Congress. Survivors have waited long enough.

Trump wants to deflect and distract, but the people see right through his cover up. He can't escape this predatory, pedophile, ponzi scheme he's complicit in. That's why we're fighting to release all the Epstein files, hold a hearing with survivors, & deliver accountability.

The cruelty is the point. Instead of ensuring families are fed after he refused to fund SNAP, the Trump Admin is doubling down on the harm. They are actively trying to make it harder for people to put food on the table. It's shameful.
