It was another wild week for democracy, as President Donald Trump’s authoritarian power grab — from his bid to rig the 2026 midterms to his corrupt, revenge-driven prosecutions — suffered some major setbacks. Here's a quick recap:

Crow: "It just tells us everything that we need to know that reminding people to obey the law, reminding people to obey the Constitution, is somehow criminal in Trumpworld and should be responded to with death threats. It's very, very telling."

New Mexico Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury reported that she reviewed the Epstein files and Donald Trump is named repeatedly and is tagged in a discussion of his rape of at least one 13 year old child. #OpDeathEaters

I’ve been uncertain about what to say today.
The last few years, we’ve seen a consolidated effort to attack and erase trans people from society.

When the papers start whining about “cancel culture” again, remember that these men are stepping down 1) voluntarily, and 2) because their jobs have no real impact on their wealth and power, and 3) BECAUSE OF THE RAPING.

One time I was writing a piece for Vox and asked WoLF for comment and Dansky replied accusing me of being a rapist.

TERFs in WDI-USA are celebrating that the NYT decided to quote Kara Dansky in a recent story about the Trump administration’s anti-trans passport rules. Of course the Times would quote such a pathetic bigot like Dansky, they love laundering TERF bullshit.
Tweet by Kara Dansky reads “It’s really important that we be honest and factual about who the women are and who the men are. There are real, tangible reasons why it’s important to get this right when it comes to passports.” - Me, quoted in the @nytimes on behalf of @WDI_USA end text link to New York Times article New Passport Rule Sends Blunt and Sweeping Message to Trans Americans Tweet posted on November 17 2025

Border Patrol is monitoring millions of Americans' driving patterns in a "predictive intelligence program," and they're arresting people they deem "suspicious." But sure, folks like me are overreacting when we warn about a Trump dictatorship.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.

Remembering us is not enough.

She breaks it down so well: donald and the fascists are big mad. They are losing, and they feel it. So, they will make a short-lived stompy-feet effort to scare you into submission. Know this in advance. Be ready. Stand down. They are LOSING!

Once again it is the Trans Day of Remembrance. A day to remember those whose lives were cut short because of hate and bigotry. Folks we have to get past this, trans people are PEOPLE. We deserve care, consideration and love. Trans Rights are Human Rights. We are not confused, we are not broken.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

1. Texas A&M has voted that Professors must seek out official permission to talk about trans people, sexuality, or race.

One of the professors said that the new policy would make routine lessons on things like the Holocaust impossible.

The Texas Board of Regents said it wasn’t restricting “teaching,” but professors—and a university press release—says otherwise.
