We now live in a country where the President can personally threaten a 16-year-old girl in the morning and by the afternoon a Democratic state will agree to target and segregate her from her peers for the crime of being transgender.

Pedro Pascal at Cannes speaks on America's political chaos: "Fear is the way that they win, so keep telling the stories and expressing yourself and fighting. F*ck the people that try to make you scared and fight back. Don't let them win."

As soon as you start reading history you discover that the concept of national borders is shockingly new. And as soon as you read about authoritarian governments you realize that border walls are in fact cages.

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Trump wants the United States to help build more CECOT style facilities to disappear US citizens and immigrants the Trump administration deems criminals or terrorists.

President Bukele and Trump's cabinet have argued that people sent to CECOT cannot be returned to the United States.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

“It was as if the detainees’ lives were worthless,” another said.

The flight attendants who spoke with ProPublica believed those lives were not worthless. That, many of them told me, is why they no longer fly for ICE Air. It’s also why they decided to share their stories: tinyurl.com/bdz5dc5f 10/

"why are you being so hard on the Democrats they aren't in power what do you want from them" THIS. I WANT THEM TO DO THIS
Today I confronted “border czar” Tom Homan who came to Albany to do Trump’s bidding — push for mass deportations, carry out the assault on working class New Yorkers, and justify the unjustifiable detention of legal permanent resident and father-to-be, Mahmoud Khalil.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

Some health centers that halted gender affirming care, kept doing nonconsensual surgeries on intersex kids to make them gender-conforming, even though the UN has condemned them

Hospitals that paused youth gender-affirming care continued controversial intersex surgeries, group says
Intersex advocates say that they have been shut out of the conversations about gender and health, even as a recent executive order has far-reaching consequences for intersex kids.

It does not matter whether you think Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. They are, but that's not the point

If you stand by while the DHS executes a warrantless arrest of a green card holder for his political beliefs, you're giving them a permission slip to arrest anyone who opposes them

So now they are arresting people accused of no crimes who are lawful residents of the United States.

Wow.
This development is a horrifying and further escalation of the very topic I wrote about yesterday evening: The Trump administration’s move from governmental changes to individual attacks focused on political opponents. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-test...

Columbia called the cops on students— *like trump wanted*— & this is how Trump responds.

One should never comply with evil, but if even your complicity with evil will not save you— & it will not— then why comply?

Do not comply; not in advance, not at all. Fight for the right thing, no matter what.
