Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks.
Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.
On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.

There's not going to be a White House press event about this. There's not going to be a media blitz about "domestic terrorism" around this incident. No one in the administration will tweet about this. All because white supremacist violence is encouraged by the state.
NEW from LCRW: Eric Oelkers, a Portland neo-Nazi long tied to Patriot Prayer & COPS NW, had his first hearing today after as the suspect in shooting two Portland police officers. In court, he ranted about leftists and the state using "illegal neurotransmitters" against "white Christians."

European allies give the United States far more than is often acknowledged: bases, overflight rights, intelligence, and forward presence. Without Europe, America would be less a global power.

Trump’s Greenland threat has already hurt US security—but far worse may come
A hostile takeover would shatter America’s key alliance, limit its military’s global reach, and invite economic reprisal.
