This Pride month, donβt forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.

Texas Police Will Soon Be Able To Charge You With A Felony For Recording Them
Proponents say that the repeat offenders are the problem in an effort to support their case by focusing on the extreme cases. They should narrow any efforts to addressing repeat offenders. First and second offenses are misdemeanors. Third or more offenses are felonies.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled courts must assess the full context of a police encounter when determining what constitutes excessive force β not just the moments right before the lethal force.
Over 1,300 people were killed by police last year. This ruling will help hold the police accountable.

Which states could lose the most from Medicaid cuts floated by the GOP?
South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee β all Trump states.
Republicans seem perfectly happy throwing their own constituents under the bus to dole out tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations.

Tomlinson: Free speech would come with attorney fees under Texas law
Proposed laws that would make freedom of speech more expensive are moving through the Texas Legislature. It's time to speak up.
A Texas House committee will consider a bill on April 23 to make it easier for the rich and powerful to silence their critics, whether a neighborhood association, protesters or journalists. Contact your state lawmakers now. #txlege @houstonchronicle.com www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col...

Bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship clears Texas Senate
Senate Bill 16 would create new barriers for voters and new burdens for election officials.
Early voting starts...even as two GOP bills on their way through the #TXLege this week, similar to the federal SAVE Act, would make voter registration harder for lower-income Texans, and those who have changed their names. Pod: bit.ly/3Z0lr7x Story: tinyurl.com/2spszedv

If the only thing stopping a president from breaking the law is whether or not they choose to do it, you do not live in a democracy. This presidency did not change anything; it just made it plain. The only thing holding the Constitution in place was vibes.

Conservative media has targeted Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield for comments she made about diversity.
They fired Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfieldβnot because she couldnβt do the job, but because she wouldnβt hang up pictures of Trump and Hegseth. This ainβt about meritβitβs about ego.
