You could say "thank you".

Or maybe reply to some of my emails.

Maybe. It would be nice.

They vandalized Admiral Lavine's portrait to display her non-legal name.

The GOP will not rest until all trans people are erased from society. Democrats cannot pretend otherwise.

The Globe itself published a Letter to the Editor from me about my campaign in July.

At some point, the Globe has moved past the "benefit of doubt" stage.

Jeez dude.
I'm just a citizen and my call to action/response on this involved more direct action than yours did.
You know you're a Senator right?
Maybe call for something that involves the power of your office?
Or some action that you specifically will take?
America is meant to be a bastion of free speech.

Everybody across the political spectrum should be speaking out to stop what’s happening to Jimmy Kimmel.

This is about protecting democracy.

This must go to court.

Let me suggest that if I have tanks invade my city, that if the courts declare me a second-class citizen, that if masked men abduct my neighbors, and I go to you, my rep, and say “help me fight my persecutors,” and you say “shush, talk about healthcare subsidies,” you, too, are my persecutor

This is it, guys. This is the fight. It's the perfect wedge for Dems:
-it's narrow and easy to convey
-it highlights the extraordinary nature of Trump's racial authoritarianism
-it intrinsically places Dems on the side of justice
-it seems important enough to shut down the government
Democrats have been looking for something to focus a shutdown fight on.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court gave it to them.

We have a long history of not holding rich or powerful people accountable for crimes.

If you work in this administration, you know that.

So the risk-reward calculation heavily favors going along w/ Trump, even for the officials who know they shouldn't.

The court is an absolute crisis and any post-Trump plan that does not start with the court is less a "plan" and more a "4th grader's fantasy doodle"

Don't let corporate media gaslight you. Trump is horribly unpopular. The percentage of people who strongly approve of him is in the low 20's. In contrast polls now show STRONGLY DISAPPROVE of Trump at about 50%. Yet corporate media covers him like he's popular.

The actual words and actions of our leaders - deranged, violent, evil, and reckless - are ignored, and in its place the media reports on the stuff that it imagines would happen during any political administration. It feeds you empty, boring slop to pacify you, concealing the crisis.

As far as I can tell, no member of the MA Delegation has yet spoken out about this.

We must call out Trump's lawlessness.

Thinking out loud on this. Most people spend their lives fitting themselves into boxes made by other people. They cut off bits of themselves & give up who they are for acceptance. Then trans people come along and say, "no, I won't accept this. I'll make myself into who I need to be, damn the world."
What exactly is it about trans people that inspires such disproportionate self-incinerating rage in people who fall down anti-trans rabbit holes? That we've kinda done nothing is precisely why it's so disproportionate, to the conspiracy addled, it's more proof of our secretive far-reaching power.

Yesterday, a Republican Senator gave a speech expressing his belief in many core white supremacist ideas and explicitly refuting Lincoln's endorsement of the idea that "all men are created equal."
This is a United States senator, on his official government account, publicly saying full white nationalism & great replacement theory is central to the country’s identity & the GOP platform. Also: explicitly opposing Lincoln’s message in Gettysburg Address (reference to “proposition”)

A criminal administration committing crimes to cover up the other crimes it's committing.

We need leadership who will recognize this as the 5-alarm fire that it is.
The US Administration is now deleting its internal communications, in brazen violation of the Federal Records Act, in order to conceal its other illegal acts.

Those entrusted to enforce our Congress’s laws sit, simply watching this happen, flaccid and impotent.

5 years ago, many Democrats called for the abolition of ICE.
They're too afraid to now.

Now, ICE is thuggishly removing speech it doesn't like and bragging about it. (Among myriad other abuses of power)

As this out-of-control agency gets worse, Democrats have softened their tone.
ICE just posted this video taking down the sign in Mount Pleasant on Twitter.
