BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds.
While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

The Trump administration is bypassing state authority by invoking Title 10 of the U.S. Code, a federal power usually reserved for major insurrections. This is a dangerous overreach, and it’s how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

New in PN: John Roberts created a monster. It's about to eat him.
"After all, how can the rightwing justices expect a future president — particularly a Democratic one — to accept rulings limiting the exercise of their power from a Court that served as the judicial stooge of an aspiring dictator?"

Interestingly (*heavy sarcasm*), every demographic group name is here but one: “white”. White is not on this list. It’s ok to be white and talk about whiteness but everything else is banned. Pretty clear message here. Only whiteness is acceptable.
The Trump regime expands its discouraged (BANNED) words across federal agencies. The list is long

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Thinking back to summer, PowWow season, community, culture, youth and elders. As we move into both literal winter and a political winter of sorts, I’m going to remind myself that there’s always hope and lightness and we have power when we come together ❤️
