Trans Day of Visibility should be a day of joy, but it feels somber this year. The onslaught of attacks against trans folks seems endless, so I just want to say this:
Trans people deserve respect, freedom, and autonomy. They deserve to live their lives as their true selves without fear.

This is a flat-out, clear-cut violation of the First Amendment.
Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

MN is proud to help feed the world (in fact, this program was created by Hubert Humphrey). Now not only is that in jeopardy, but millions of dollars in income for farmers is too? Disgusting.
This food, which we’ve already paid for, is waiting on ships to be delivered to those who need it.

“The reversal raised a fresh question of whether Trump’s second term will revive questions of competence—even among the president’s admirers—about the administration’s ability to govern or adequately explain its decisions.”

Nine days before the fatal plane crash, the FAA administrator was forced to resign because Elon Musk was mad he was standing in the way of SpaceX's designs of human inhabiting Mars.

I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center.
How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down?
How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?

Listen, I grew up watching The X-Files and I too “want to believe” but it’s so painfully clear that the hearings on UAPs are meant to be a distraction from [holds hands up] everything else going on. Aliens can wait y’all we have more important things to be concerned about.
