50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑

Is this meant to distract us from the #EpsteinFiles, ICE atrocities, Putin’s visit, & the ongoing genocide in Gaza? Or our gutted government institutions, the corrupt regime in power, and the death of American democracy? #FreeDC #FreeGaza #ReleaseTheFiles #AbolishICE #ProtectWorkers

In more uplifting news, 1,000 people protested ICE’s abduction of a mother and children at the home of the agency’s acting head Tom Homan.

Notably, the entire population of the town is just 1,450.

Yesterday, @gladlaw.bsky.social @nclrights.bsky.social filed a challenge to Trump's transgender military ban.

Learn more about the lawsuit and our plaintiffs, who bring decades of experience across all military branches, contributing among the highest levels of service:

A transgender flag behind a white text box showing a quote from Jennifer Levi, Senior Director of Transgender and Queer Rights at GLAD Law: "This ban betrays fundamental American values of equal opportunity and judging people on their merit. It slams the door on qualified patriots who meet every standard and want nothing more than to serve their country, simply to appease a political agenda. That's not just un-American, it makes our country weaker by pushing away talented service members who put their lives on the line every day for our nation." At the bottom are the NCLR and GLAD Law logos.

Anyone who meets the standards should be able to serve. There are already thousands of transgender service members currently in the military who have met the standards and more than proven themselves.” At the bottom are the NCLR and GLAD Law logos.
