Indivisible Inland Empire held a small event to support our public libraries tonight on Right to Read Day! We wrote chalk messages of support and gave out snacks and bubbles to kids. What a great, chill follow up to the energy of Saturday's big protest. ❤️

This is a great sign! Let's hope the Exec Order from today is stopped before it prevents this from happening in the next special elections.

I support this level of petty on the part of France. 😂 Seuls les partisans de l'OTAN ont droit des statues géniales. 😝
From France comes a call for Trump's America to return Lady Liberty. Here's why it won't happen
A French politician has suggested the U.S. is no longer worthy of keeping the Statue of Liberty. A member of the European Parliament and co-president of a small left-wing party, Raphaël Glucksmann's c...

Any step to restrict entry of trans visitors seems one step closer to completely restricting the ability of trans residents to leave...
(Even more than denying passports already does)

A new state department cable, meant to target transgender athletes, indicates a potential broader application to all transgender visas, which it states must contain "sex at birth."

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention!

This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

We are all so shocked, I'm sure.
(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text.

Here it is (please share):

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Note there's a hearing tomorrow in federal court where families and doctors are requesting an injunction against the order itself. Should they win a bench ruling, providers can continue to offer care without risks to their funding as soon as tomorrow.
Getting private word that a few hospitals that have paused care for trans youth are starting that care back up.

If your hospital is one of them, please message me privately.

Good to see the initial capitulation is receiving strong pushback.

Oh good. Those poor corporations can finally be free again. I bet all the trump voters will be happy to be able to be even more ripped off now...again.

We should probably start telling our elected dems now, that there is absolutely no negotiating with terrorists when it comes to the budget and debt ceiling. No concessions, nothing, until the terror stops. Nothing!

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

You have the legal right to:
Not answer your door.
Not provide your name.
Not provide your citizenship/immigration status.
Not do a single thing without a warrant signed by an actual judge.
NOT TURN IN YOUR NEIGHBORS LIKE A GODDAMN NAZI COLLABORATOR.

So many Trump supporters live in hurricane prone areas. It's not like they would vote against their own interests or anything though...
DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.
Doge staffers enter Noaa headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats
Members reportedly sought access to IT systems at agency that Project 2025 has called ‘harmful to US prosperity’

It was never just about the kids. They were just the easiest first target. And this type of bill is also not the end. It's just the next easiest step. There will be no LGBTQIA rights if they're allowed to keep going.
Happening now:

Montana's Senate Judiciary is hearing a bill that would impose a 25 year statute of limitations on ADULT trans care.

It could result in a ban of all trans care in Montana given that physicians would be uninsurable - normal statute for medical care is 2 years.

Watch here.
