No surprises here…stigma and discrimination are the problems.
A systematic review of all research on transgender military members was just published this week. Of course, the conclusion was that trans service members don't undermine readiness. They contribute effectively - stigma and discrimination are the problem. mendingmedics.com/my-research/

The cost of the deployment, which the senators project will come to $602 million over 12 months, eclipses the entire D.C. police budget, w/ the deployment including nearly 2,500 National Guard members at any given time.

Nine months out from the midterm elections, we face a coordinated effort by Trump, his administration, congressional Republicans and MAGA leaders to normalize a federal takeover of elections, enforced by ICE and federal agents.

Secretary Noem, the record to-date shows, does not have the facts on her side-or at least has ignored them. Does not have the law on her side-or at least has ignored it. Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, she pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).

Most cars with an auto unlock feature can also have that feature disabled. Whether to protect yourself from gov agents or as a smart safety choice in itself, you should consider turning auto unlock off.
Be smart. Be safe.
“The agents open the door, which unlocked automatically when she put the gearshift in park, they drag her out and force her to the ground. She said the agents were overly aggressive and physical as they pinned her down and handcuffed her, leaving her with multiple cuts, scrapes and bruises.”

“As the climate becomes more chaotic and potentially destructive, the importance of a strong FEMA will only grow. The agency's best assets would be a president and Congress that recognize this importance and behave accordingly.”

Kristi Noem is also failing at running FEMA | Arkansas Democrat Gazette
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is in trouble because her boss' attempt to use her agencies to occupy Minneapolis has been a tragic disaster. Gaining less attention, for now, is her equally problematic oversight of several other disasters that weren't created by ICE. It's less of an affront to democracy than what's happened in Minneapolis, but a greater threat to leave millions of Americans immiserated.

Trump's gutting of agencies doesn't just harm dedicated federal workers like my constituent Claire, who enforced fair housing laws at HUD.

It harms the communities and the people they deserve, and it prevents agencies from fulfilling their mission.

Real people and communities are affected by FEMAs action or inaction. This is an example of the human side of DHS’s, under Noem’s leadership, policies. must (not all) are a direct result of the requirement to personally approve all funding over $100k.

This is a FedGov attack on EVERY state, blessed by a federal court, in defiance of the Constitutional separation of powers and the sovereignty of states (dual sovereigns). Without sovereign states conducting their own elections without interference, there is no Constitution, no FedGov.

1st Amendment - right to assemble = Renee was killed

1st Amendment + 2nd Amendment = Alex was killed

4th Amendment - warrants required = ChongLy "Scott" Thao abducted

10th amendment- powers reserved for states = the fed govt overides state & local authority on rebuilding & land-use decisions.
H/t to a fellow Alt for sharing this (you know who you are 😉)

FedGov has declared itself exempt from the Constitution, all of it, basically. Let me walk you through this so you’ll understand all the ways this is a direct attack on every American.

Kristi Noem deserves to be impeached for the things you know about: mass deportation policies that have gotten Americans killed.

But folks aren't talking enough about what she's not doing: keeping us safe.

She's gutting disaster relief agencies and putting us all at risk.

Now would be a great time to advocate for FEMA to be a cabinet level position in its own right. As it stands now, their funding is tied to DHS and ICE.

It is absolutely ridiculous that this had to be reported.

This is a dangerous storm, in many areas it is an Ice storm. But because this administration is worried about names, FEMA can’t use the words Ice storm. People’s lives are at stake (in more ways than one)
