What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?

Every time I feel like I know a lot about the rise of fascism in Germany, I learn something new.
My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.

Can't wait for my passport so I can get out of this fucking awful country.

I'm trying to cut down on caffeine ☕☕☕

I'm down to just one mug! (Doesn't matter that this one mug can hold literally two full pot of coffee 🤤)

Yay, passport application is finally done! Was more expensive than I realized but so happy that it is at least done. Now its just a waiting game seeing if my passport will come back with the right gender marker 🤞

Even if that doesn't happen, it's still a passport I could use to get out when I can 🩷

Urgent... In line at a passport appt and finding out that I don't have all the funds needed to cover all the fees for this thing 😫 any chance anyone could pitch in a Lil bit?

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

@sanders.senate.gov Any chance I could contact someone in your crew working the event this Friday in Denver to request for an ASL interpreter? I'm also somewhat low vision so I'm hoping for a spot somewhat close to the interpreter to see them more clearly. Really hoping to go and support y'all soon!

Accessibility is anti-fascist.

You can do a lot by literally just adding alt text.

When you say you think vaccines cause autism, what I hear is that you’d rather your kid be dead than be like me.

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

Things are coming apart quickly, so a word to white folk: you’re going to have to get used to property damage if you want to survive. Getting upset protesters set an empty Target on fire & making THAT & not police murder the focus is part of how we got here.

I know using alt-text for images isn't yet habit for a lot of refugees from Xitter. I get it. But ESPECIALLY when sharing anything related to political activism, please use it. Disabled people, including blind folks or those w/ low vision, are targets right now. They must be a part of your activism.

The next person to ask a trans person, ‘what rights don’t you have’ right now?

Try a social experiment.

Punch their front teeth out, then ask them, ‘what teeth don’t you have?’

Then tell them ‘that’s your opinion’ and ignore them while you walk away.

Because that’s the shit that got us here.

Just a reminder; I immediately unsubscribe from any YouTuber who says they’re excited for the Harry Potter show, and also give side eye to any creator who covers Harry Potter news who does not at least passingly mention JK Rowling’s bigotry.
