US military used laser to take down Border Protection drone, lawmakers say Members of Congress say the U.S. military used a laser to shoot down a Customs and Border Protection drone.

Resign.
Resign.
Resign.

Have some basic decency: resign.

We are angry. We are exhausted. We are terrified. And things will only get worse from here.

If you aren't supporting trans people, here and now, monetarily, ot tangibly in some way then sit and live with the knowledge that you couldn't be bothered to do a damn thing to help us for all your life.

This is what I need cis folks to understand.

It's been a decade.

Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

The reason you stand firm about sports participation and bathrooms is because it never stops with sports participation and bathrooms. And it never stops with trans people.

As we've been saying the whole goddamn time!

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Tech CEOs Confused by Why Everybody Hates AI So Much With public sentiment on AI resoundly negative, the tech CEOs pushing the new tech only seem to be doubling down.

just spitballing but some of it might have something to do with 15 years of sociopathic behavior culminating in the enthusiastic embrace of violent fascism

Matthew Tkachuck was the one to let Kash wear his medal in the locker room, and DJT. He and his brother are known supporters. So are the Hughes brothers it seems but "EvErYtHiNgS sO pOLiTiCaL" or w/e Jack was whining about in his non-apology.

Today was fucking awful trying to force myself to work on our colon cancer awareness campaign while grieving someone I love deeply who died 2 yrs ago from colon cancer

But it was also lovely spending time (virtually) w/ folks I love β€” including one I’d never be this close with if it weren’t for him

February 5, 2026 The past two days have seen a growing struggle between Democrats, who are demanding accountability from the Trump administration, and Republicans trying to hide what the administration is up to.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

Thus, rather than require such adjudications, the Department is changing its regulations to provide the Board more flexibility in reviewing appeals. Instead, for appeals taken from decisions issued after this IF becomes effective, as explained in
Section IV.A of this preamble, the default will be summary dismissal unless a majority of current Board members vote to consider the appeal on the merits. And such dismissals
will occur quicklyβ€”within 15 days of filing the appealβ€”allowing aliens to seek Federal court review expeditiously, rather than potentially waiting for years for a Board decision that in the vast majority of cases would affirm the underlying Immigration Judge
decision.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.
