Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

Keep that same energy of support for her

Are we acting like he's gonna follow this court ruling...

Because he's actually followed so many of them...

Thanks #SCOTUS for your ruling on Trump V. USA...
He’s not gonna like this.

Weeping and angry with my UK trans sisters, brothers, and siblings today. Their supreme court just stripped them of their legal rights, declaring that AGAB/ASAB is their legal sex. No trans person was consulted, and JK Rowling personally funded the group that pushed the decision through.

Nope.

Our trans kin are owed an apology by spineless sycophantic politicians.

It seems like the political elite are starting to feel like normal, everyday Americans... let alone those most oppressed and ostracized but society (whose very existence is being made illegal)...

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Not ironic, however, is the safe landing of the US Air Force C-37B in Moscow...
1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC
1/31: Crash in Philly
2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle
2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska
2/10: Crash in Scottsdale
2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego
2/16: Crash in Covington, GA

7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

I know we're all wrestling with the same fears and uncertainty rn and I just want to state for the record that NOT being okay right now is probably the only appropriate state of being.

Yes folks please process that what’s happening right now is that Mr Nazi Salute has access to the personal information of every Jew in America, along with every person who gets/has gotten disability benefits, and so on

The Holocaust was an administrative process that included lists of targets
I just called my House Rep and was told by his staff that he’s being briefed and I said we need to hear a clear plan from the democrats about how they’re going to protect our us and democracy from an unelected open Nazi who has access to the personal information of Jews and civil servants
Everyone please call you Congress offices this morning and ask them why this has been allowed - make noise

Obviously, the removal of the T from the LGB at the state department has been much discussed, but the QIA+ part matters too. Intersex people have discussed that more eloquently than I could, but as a Q and an A…I’m worried.

Small thread with tw for aphobia and queerphobia.

Turning off socials for the day. Can't deal with watching my faith be branded unconstitutional snake oil by the sitting admin... and the *gestures vaguely in the direction of the dumpster fire the last 2 wks has been*

This is exactly what he wanted.

Might see y'all tomorrow... Might knit instead.

If you support the current administration and their policies, your claims of supporting the people they target are... inaccurate at best.

One bishop, in one church, literally just asked the president to be nice and him and everyone in his circle been melting down for a week.

These aren't strong people. They're very, very weak people. They can be beaten.

I liked Bishop Budde's homily enough, but it really illustrates how the Democrats and media and anyone who should be vocally opposing him and this administration are complete pieces of toast that an appeal as gentle as hers has sent the right completely over the edge.
