A multicoloured text image that reads: "Pride is intersectional. Pride is feminist. Pride is class struggle. Pride is political. Pride is much more than rainbow capitalism."
A multicoloured infographic labelled "How to be a Trans* Ally" from SOC Trinity LGBT. "Transphobic Words: Calling someone a tranny or too butch to be a girl et cetera demeans and trivialises the wide variety of experiences held by those who identify as transgender. If you see this type of transphobic language being used, challenge it. "Coming Out: A gender identity is personal. If someone choose to come out to you as trans*, this means they trust you. Make sure to honour that trust by checking with them before telling anyone else, as they may not want others to know. "Real Name?: Asking someone what their 'real name' is implies that their chosen name is in some way invalid or not 'real.' In the same way, asking someone what their 'real' gender is disrespects their own gender identity. "Gender identity is not sexual identity: Remember that, no matter how someone identifies their own gender, they may still identify with any sexual identity. Everyone has a sexual and gender identity, and they are separate and distinct from one another. "Just ask!: It is important to respect the names and pronouns that people prefer. If you are unsure, simply ask, 'what are your preferred pronouns?' "Show your support!: Make sure to show your support for your trans friends by challenging transphobia when you see it."
An infographic about the SAVE Act currently being proposed: "Who does this impact? This bill would disenfranchise millions, particularly those who don't have access to important documents like their birth certificates and passports, which can be costly to acquire. It also disproportionately affects marginalized communities and individuals who cannot appear in person, making it harder for them to exercise their right to vote. Groups most impacted include: ~Married women ~Trans people ~Military personnel ~Foster youth ~Students ~People with disabilities ~First time voters"

You don't get to rewrite it."

"Trump criticized Obama for his expensive family vacations. Then Trump spent almost as much in a month as Obama had spent in a year. "Trump called Obama the most ignorant president in history. In POTUS rankings, though, Obama has never ranked lower than 15th from the top, Trump's never ranked higher than 4th from the bottom."
A set of photos depicting the Supreme Court Justices of the United States. Beneath the photos is a quote from Akili P Nickson which reads "The Supreme Court found Biden didn't have the authority as President to cut student loans without Congress. Out of the other side of their mouths they find that Trump has the authority to cut the WHOLE government and eliminate entire agencies unilaterally. "This Court's function was to ensure everything Biden did was struck down as an abuse of authority but now there isn't anything Trump doesn't have the power to do. This is the most compromised, partisan, and unethical Supreme Court in generations."
