He gets it

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Yes, and DFW Airport too!

Trump to meet with top congressional leaders as a government shutdown looms The gathering at the White House on Monday comes after Trump canceled an earlier meeting with Democratic leaders.

Trump and Dems are officially meeting Monday.

This is after Trump cancelled his last meeting with Democrats because they were holding firm on immigrant and transgender protections.

The Republican budget has dozens of anti-LGBTQ+ riders.

Call your Dem senators, people, don't let them capitulate.

RIP to a goddamn hero.

This is bad. Real bad. Not expunging the Congresswoman's service records or at least her SS# and insurance information? Wow.

Interesting. We have six women and one man on City Council, with a "strong mayor/weak council" model. Also have a man as Mayor.

Some possible Halifax relevance here: Notice that giving a mediocre white man “strong” mayor powers was pushed at us as soon as we got a city council with more women than men.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

If you're a trans person, you should prepare for the possibility that every groupchat and gathering is compromised by FBI informants attempting to enrage and entrap you into doing something incredibly stupid that they can arrest you for.

Page 1: Flyer from The Heritage Foundation Oversight Project titled “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism (TIVE): Background and FAQs on Need for an FBI Domestic Terrorism Designation.” The page defines “Transgender Ideology” and “TIVE,” outlining beliefs allegedly associated with them. It claims such ideology justifies violence against opponents or frames opposition as violence. The text references the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk, urging the FBI to classify TIVE as domestic terrorism.

Page 2: Continuation of flyer with a section titled “Recent Instances of TIVE-Motivated Acts of Domestic Terrorism.” Lists multiple violent events from 2018 to 2025, attributing them to transgender ideology. Includes mugshots of two alleged attackers. Followed by a “Frequently Asked Questions and Key Terms” section, addressing whether transgender people are terrorists, comparing TIVE with “Nihilistic Violent Extremism,” and discussing FBI designations.

Page 3: Flyer continues with questions about Antifa and FBI terrorism classifications. States that Antifa and TIVE are separate categories. Lists ways the FBI classifies domestic terrorism and identifies typical characteristics of “TIVEs,” such as targeting Christians, mental illness, and online radicalization. Includes images: a “Trans Antifa” logo, a pink-blue-white-striped slogan image reading “Protect Their Right to Exist,” a photo of Audrey Hale with a firearm, and a close-up of a magazine with the words “Where is your God?”

Page 4: Section titled “Terminology Used by TIVE.” Defines terms including cisgender, deadnaming, Gillick competence, misgendering, “Right to Exist,” “Trans genocide,” and a phrase “You either have a live boy or dead girl, you choose.” Each is presented as terminology used in or associated with TIVE. Page layout is text-heavy, no additional graphics.

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them.

They want us all eradicated.

Not sure they would've survived the 80s.

Republicans are trying to add six anti-LGBTQI+ amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act. REPUBLICAN NDAA AMENDMENTS: TWO HEALTHCARE BANS for transgender people and their families, including banning mental healthcare for servicemembers’ trans children; ASSIGNING CADETS TO TEAMS BASED ON THEIR REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM for women’s sports at U.S. military service academies; CREATING A TRANS BATHROOM BAN at all U.S. military installations; BANNING DATA COLLECTION on troops’ and employees’ gender identities; BANNING THE PRIDE FLAG from all Department of Defense workplaces. Congressional Equality Caucus logo.

Tomorrow, the House will debate SIX Republican amendments to the FY26 National Defense Authorization Act that attack LGBTQI+ servicemembers, DoD employees, and their families.

We urge the House to unite against these attacks on our servicemembers and REJECT these amendments!

Longtime trans activist Judy Bowenwiener, who was at Stonewall, has a message for LGBTQ+ young people: Don’t be ashamed of yourself.

Judy is right. No one knows you and your story better than you do. Embrace your pride by telling your story: hrc.im/MillionVoices

What are you actually asking him to do? I'm an elected official in a sanctuary city within a sanctuary state and I don't understand what you want in this "Chicopalypse" scenario being created.

What is necessary?

Are fears of a Civil conflict where civilians are unarmed or looking at the guns of armed government agents and may be injured or killed really something that indicates weakness? Should Pritzger have Illinois National Guard/law enforcement go toe-to-toe with US military, etc?

It is like he is Audie Murphy or something.

Not a great sign when the NRA is doing more to speak up against trans people having constitutional rights stripped away than a lot of our actual supposed allies are.

The way they would accomplish banning trans gun ownership is by having the ATF along with another federal agency or board such as HHS declare anyone with gender dysphoria has a "mental illness" that makes them a "danger to [themselves] or to others" under U.S.C. § 922(g)(4) and 27 CFR § 478.11.

Would this be considered a "peace keeping mission" and thusly, "mission creep"?

BTW, Secretary of Defense and former General Mattis never moved like that. Is he doing the hokey-pokey?
