DISGUSTING BBC…

According to the BBC, describing a trans-woman as “a biological male who identifies as a woman”, is intended to be clear and explanatory and easily understood by a wide audience.

Looks like the slur is an official policy then doesn’t it.

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups.

This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

Decriminalization of sex work does not equal Decriminalization of sex trafficking.

That's like arguing that legalization of Marijuana also makes it legal to coerce someone into smuggling drugs.

Trafficking is trafficking

Sex work is sex work.

Rep. Thanedar has filed two articles of impeachment against Hegseth, one for "murder and conspiracy to murder" and the other for "reckless and unlawful mishandling of classified information." 🧵

If every Muslim voter in Dearborn voted for Harris, she still would have lost Michigan.

If she had won Michigan, she STILL WOULD HAVE LOST THE ELECTION.

If you want to blame voters for current conditions, feel free to blame the actual demographic responsible for Trump and that is WHITE PEOPLE.

Something every 2026/28 Dem should commit to is investigations of any company that did deals with Trump. A kind of forward guidance to get companies to think twice in advance of what’s coming.
Fox News will applaud this but can you imagine their coverage if President Biden hatched a secret plan to take over Fox News and revamp its programming to be nicer to him

More than that, his crew threatened to open fire on the murderers. He rescued civilians, returned to base to refuel, flew back, and rescued more civilians. Then he denounced the crimes to his HQ.

For all this he received death-threats throughout his life.

If Kamala Harris had picked Josh Shapiro as a running mate, she’d likely be President now.

Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin almost always vote the same way in any given election. And she only barely lost these three states.

I'll be blunt; if we're wrong and they overturn birthright citizenship then my biggest fear is that we're on the path to a new civil war. After all, that's what happened with Dred Scott 1.0, and this would be Dred Scott 2.0.
I don’t necessarily disagree with this prediction, but I do think it would be helpful for people if litigators and legal scholars wrote about what happens if they’re wrong and the court does rule in the administration’s favor
To give some sense of why I am so confident about this, I have talked to MANY other litigators on these issues, some of the top people in the country, and my views are almost universally held. The broad consensus among pretty much everyone I know is that the Court will rule against him on this.

Wurman is being pretty slippery with his definition of "purpose." There was extensive discussion about the impact of the Amendment on Chinese immigrants and "Gypsies," so they knew it would have a broader impact than just on children of freed people, and agreed on the interpretation of the words.
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.

Hot take: I keep seeing people saying that the Trump administration putting Admiral Levine's deadname on her photo is "petty," and I honestly disagree. It's an act of violence. They're leveraging the power of the federal government to erase this woman's existence. That's not "petty," it's murderous.
