This move by the Trump administration is an overtly discriminatory civil rights violation. Trans people have the same legal rights as other Americans — end of story. There are lots of good reasons to keep certain people from owning guns. Being trans isn't one of them. https://cnn.it/4niJnxG

If you really want to understand how power works today, it’s not controlled by ballots—it’s driven by algorithms. This is worth a watch. It shows why billionaires are an existential threat to democracy—and what some of them really think about progressives.

Rep. Robert Garcia: "We should not be scared of what's in those files. We don't care who you are, how powerful you are, if you're in politics, what party you are, the amount of money you have — if you've committed these horrific crimes, it should be out to the American public."

Let me get this straight. The GOP believes Human Trafficking that they hear about, without a shred of evidence, on radio talk shows & podcasts. But the women which were little girls, reporting that they were raped, with all kinds of photographic & video evidence, their testimony is nothing but lies?
