These Epstein emails are a who’s who of people I already never wanted to hear from again. Hopefully this finally does the trick.

Whitmer gets this exactly wrong.

Politics isn't just an assessment of your material state. It's also a social experience, something you talk about with others.

"Fix the damn roads" worked because it was a classic water cooler issue. But so is "Trump's tearing down the White House"!
What happened to Gretchen Whitmer? I care about the destruction of the country, I really do. A lot of Americans do. 7 million of them came out in the streets last weekend. Why do so many Dem pols insist on saying it doesn't matter?

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

The thing that upsets me most about the design changes from defense.gov to war.gov is that the Veterans Crisis Line has been removed from the footer of the site. Every design choice is a values statement.

Very cool that cis people can just access hormones willy nilly but trans people have to jump through a million hoops to get the same exact treatment
Health clinics across America are serving up injections of testosterone. Men younger than 35 are the most eager customers

Another step toward the total erasure of trans people from public life. Absolutely awful.
1. In a devastating ruling out of the 11th Circuit, a trans female teacher will be forced to use "Mr." in the classroom in accordance with Florida law.

Trump appointed judges ruled that this is not somehow a first amendment violation.

The dissent is scathing.

11th Circuit Rules Trans Teacher Must Misgender Herself In Classroom In Accordance With FL Law
The ruling by Trump-appointed judges contradicts other classroom speech cases and is a clear case of the state barring disfavored speech, according to the dissent.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

Lots of reporters are treating Trump's threats to invade and annex foreign countries as an unserious game, but Beth's excellent thread exposes just how absurd and dangerous it all is by asking serious questions. Would Greenland become a state? What happens to Canadian health insurance? And much more
I’ve read a number of articles about Donald Trump’s ambitions to purchase, annex, or seize territory — Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal Zone, etc.

A thread on some policy questions that these actions would pose. 🧵
