I'm thinking today of all my fellow veterans but especially the more than 5,000 trans service members and their families who were kicked out of the military this year despite being highly qualified and serving honorably. This injustice will be a stain on our nation's history.

The NYT interviewed 40 men who were in CECOT.
They described being beaten, sexually assaulted by guards, driven to the brink of suicide. One said officers thrust his head into a tank of water to simulate drowning. Another was forced to perform oral sex on guards in hoods.
Trump did this.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

Don't talk to the New York Times about trans issues. They will betray your trust and use your story to undermine access to care. That's exactly what Azeen Ghorayshi did with families of trans kids in Missouri.
