Today, we wasted time voting on renaming the Gulf of Mexico—a name it’s had for almost 500 YEARS. We’ve got folks losing healthcare, schools underfunded, and rights under attack. We’ve got real issues. Prioritize THAT.
The House has passed a Republican-led bill that would rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, moving a step closer to codifying President Donald Trump’s push to rename the body of water.

Riggs: My opponent—there are a hundred counties in North Carolina. He picked four of the most Democratic counties and challenged the military and overseas voters in those four counties only.
We were gratified that the federal court yesterday upheld every one of the arguments we made..

To save runaways from slavery who were trying to make lives in the North “illegally,” local Vigilance Committees formed. They kept watch for slave catchers, secreted away those in danger, and posted placards that outed slave catchers, sometimes hounding them till they left town.
A group in San Diego is patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed.

A wheelchair-using UNC student who was physically assaulted by police when they broke up the school’s anti-genocide encampment has since had a prestigious scholarship rescinded, been criminally charged, doxxed and constantly surveilled because of her Palestine activism.

Obviously, a huge victory for the migrants here and a major defeat for Trump’s lawless effort to rush out a rendition flight before the courts could act.
But also—potentially a massive signal from the Supreme Court that it is finally prepared to go toe to toe with Trump to halt AEA deportations.

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove anyone from the United States under Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation who is a part of the potential class in the Northern District of Texas case until further order of the court.

"Male loneliness" makes absolutely zero sense if it means actual chronic loneliness (which at least as many women as men suffer, if not more) and entirely too much sense when you read it as whining sexual entitlement.
Birth rates and male mental health/loneliness are both legitimate societal issues that also unfortunately have been adopted as causes by the worst people imaginable

The anti-trans movement is welfare for losers.
What a summary of the anti-trans movement:
March 23rd: female fencer competes in mixed-gender event, beating several male competitors, finishing 8th
March 30th: same fencer films herself telling trans competitor “I am refusing to fence you, because I am a woman and you are a man,” collects $5000
