The news really sucks today.

Instead of boosting a harmful Supreme Court decision, here’s something better:

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.

So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.

The hypocrisy is outrageous.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

There is no trans agenda other than being able to live their lives and enjoy the same rights as everyone else. They're not asking for special treatment or seeking more rights and freedoms than others. They simply want to LIVE 🏳️‍⚧️

(1/2) 79,308,002 people were enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP (Child Health Insurance Programs) as of Oct. 2024. That's over 1/5 of the US population. In some states, this could affect over 1/3 of residents.

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

Trans people are not the problem.
As a broad weeping generalization, it’s cis men who are the problem.

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

(1/2) Please read this article. Rest in Peace, Elisa.

To anyone out there who feels like ending their life - please know that you are important and the world is a better place because you are in it.
The Veterans Crisis Line can be reached by dialing 988 and pressing 1, or by texting 838255.
I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

Our trans neighbors will continue to be safe, protected, and welcome in Minnesota.

All FEMA staff received an email week 1 stating that we must report any DEI initiatives that had been renamed or reworked since November 6, or else face adverse consequences *ourselves*.

The Trump Administration's list of censored scientific terms that get NSF grant proposals flagged contains "women” and “female”, but no mention of “men” or “male.” There is “black” and “indigenous” on this list, but no “white.” The only identity not censored is mine.

This is exactly what we want to see from Democrats right now! There’s no excuse for Senate Democrats to be confirming any of Trump’s nominees while MAGA’s illegal power grab continues. If you’re represented by Sen. @schatz.bsky.social, be sure to thank him for fighting back against President Musk.
