These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.
Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

Look, I'm not a fancy CEO guy, but if someone said to me "the key to this successful single-player IP's success is to make it purely a multiplayer game. No, not a spin off: fundamentally change the DNA of what people loved about the core game" to me, I'd probably, like, quit that job or something.

Since all the transphobes are quiet about the possibility of the Department of Education getting eliminated, I guess it was never about protecting women’s sports after all, since the DOE is the department that enforces Title IX.

Keep your messaging simple:
“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”
That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

This ban might ban trans people from dancing, darts, and even chess in many universities.
It'll also target 9 year olds playing soccer.

In Florida, a 15-year-old girl was the subject of a police investigation that involved armed officers asking her teammates if they had ever seen her nude and a 500-page report detailing changes in her body weight and notes from her guidance counselor--all because she wanted to play volleyball
5. Now let's look at the relevant section of the bill. And ask yourself (a) what circumstances would trigger enforcement and (b) who would enforce?
