ID: Destiel Confession breaking news meme. Castiel says, I love you. Dean Winchester replies, "Sarah McBride to become first openly transgender member in Congress. End ID.
With her victory over Republican John Whalen III, McBride is poised to become the first openly transgender person to serve in Congress.
The measure would bar federally funded civics and history programs from promoting what the bill calls “gender ideology” and “discriminatory
It's called H.R. 8705.
Note: the bill is also racist.
The ACLU and the House Equality Caucus blasted their fellow Democrats and the Republicans who voted to pass a bill threatening to censor edu
"Here are the names of the eight Democrats who voted for what the House Equality Caucus condemned as the "Don't Say Trans" bill:
Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas
Rep. Don Davis of North Carolina
Rep. Cleo Fields of Louisiana
Rep. Laura Gillen of New York
Rep. Vicente González of Texas
Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington
Rep. Eugene Vindman of Virginia"
I beg of you to please contact your senators regardless of party. Say what you have to say to get them to vote against. This is incredibly dangerous.
If one of the Democratic quislings in the House represents you, please call them to tell you exactly how you feel about racist and transphobic censorship and their decision to endanger the lives of children through forced outing.
If you can’t safely contact them in person, here are some other options for contacting your Congress Critters:
Five Calls to your critters: https://5calls.org/
Here is one that will send your reps a fax: https://resist.bot/

Psychologist Mary Trump knows Uncle Donald better than most of us.
It would take just four GOP US House members and four US senators to halt the destruction of America.
If you're a registered voter living in a swing House district or state then you have more power than most Americans. Visit the local office of your US rep or senator to register your disgust at what is going on.
Sorry, but phone calls and emails to people who represent you are next to worthless; the only way for your rep or senator to know that you are 100% real is to personally visit their offices and talk to their staff. Make a copy of your voter registration card to leave with them as a reminder that you are an engaged voter.
The era of slacktivism is over. Interacting with neighbors and lawmakers in person is the only way forward. Low energy digital twiddling will get us nowhere.
Republicans on Capitol Hill have to be made more fearful of the 2026 election than they are of Trump and Musk.
It may be unfair that you have to do more just because you live in a swing district or state, but then your share of success is also greater.
Democrat Christian Menefee has won a Texas U.S. House seat in a special election that will narrow Republicans’ already-slim majority
BREAKING: Democrat Christian Menefee wins special election for Texas U.S. House seat, narrowing GOP's slim majority.
I am devastated about the HR 1 ("big beautiful bill") vote. In the Senate, it came down to a tie, 50-50, with JD Vance breaking it in favor moving forward. The good news is that a ton of stuff has been removed from the bill. It's going back for another House vote.
Call your representative in the House. Please. This link takes you to exactly what number to call and exactly what to say. Call after hours. Leave a voicemail. Stumble over your words. It's okay. Just make the tally of calls your representative is getting bigger. Please.
Updates July 1, 2025: The Senate has passed H.R. 1 by a vote of 50-51, with J.D. Vance providing the tie-break YES vote. Republican Senators
Keep Calm. Breathe. Trust the process.
Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is "Authoritarianism wrapped in bureaucratic language." thebigbadbill.com (Video 1 of 3)
Idk if anyone has already posted this link, but everyone needs to see the videos in it. In the video, chatgpt's analysis of that big, stupid bill the gops are voting for is read. It's not good.
I'm not normally someone who uses AI for anything, but this is one good way to make use of it. It's a tool that should work for us, but not as us. This is how it should be used.
There are other analyses of the bill. They should also be sought out and read/listened to. More analyses mean we have a better picture of what this bill is going to do to the U.S.A.
Here's another analysis (by a human):
Some highlights:
Big cuts to Medicaid ~8 million people will have their medical care coverage taken away (to make the rich richer)
Tax cuts that will ultimately benefit ONLY the very rich
Energy and climate provisions to cut protections for our environment (to make it so companies can pollute all they want so they can be richer)
Defunding Planned Parenthood
Immigrants could be forced to pay $1,000 to claim asylum -- just one way they've cooked up to fund immigration enforcement
A ban on regulation of AI for 10 years (this one is a head scratcher - we NEED to legislate to control AI)
Millions will lose their access to SNAP (food stamps) benefits
Rich people will get richer and richer; the poor will get poorer and poorer and/or die
We need to do something. Call your congress people. Email, maybe. However we can get it across. The senate MUST NOT pass this!
Go to this site to find your state's U.S. senators. I know many ppl here on tumblr have phone anxiety, but a lot of the senators have web contact forms you can fill out. If you think you can do calls, try 5calls. They make it really easy. Here's another one that's easy to use - it has an interactive map.
We need to speak out and keep speaking out or we're going to end up in a dystopian hell for real
