"Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for all agencies"

What's Title VI?

"prohibits discrimination against or otherwise excluding individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin"

Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose.  A

My god. He’s gone after the Civil Rights Act!!!!

Ultimately, Freeman’s column isn’t pitiful because it rubs salt in the wound—it’s pitiful because it lays bare the true aim of the anti-trans movement. This was never about policy or bathrooms or youth sports. It’s about a cohort of people who feel culture shifting beneath their feet, who were raised in a world where casual cruelty toward transgender people was normalized, and who now find themselves resentful that society has moved on. Rather than reflect or grow, they double down, demanding that their revulsion be seen as virtue—that their discomfort be not only accepted but celebrated. Freeman’s yearning for social validation, cloaked in the language of righteous indignation, reveals the movement’s hollow core. The title of her piece says it all: this isn’t about the law, it’s about the isolation that comes from being wrong. And no court decision—no matter how cruel—will win back the friendships lost to hate, or rescue those who chose the wrong side of history from the consequences of that choice.

From my latest piece.

The true motivating energy behind the anti-trans activists of today.

The Crumbles.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

To me Rowling exists entirely outside of the “should we support/work with artists with troubling views?” debate. She doesn’t just *think* her opinions, she doesn’t just *say* them, she’s a relentless 24-7 activist whose whole mission in life is terrorizing trans people.

This is the inevitable outcome of a decades long firehose of fatphobic eugenics language in public health

that hugely financially rewards everyone that participates in it.

Soothing. 😮‍💨

Leonard Zeskind will be missed. We had the opportunity to speak with him in 2018. May his work continue to be a light in the fight against fascism and white supremacy. itsgoingdown.org/zeskind-hist...

Strangely, the official who is exploiting legit concerns about antisemitism to revoke hundreds of students’ visas and undermine democracy has… no qualms about sitting down with an antisemite who thinks “Hitler actually had some decent points.” 🤔

I regret to inform you that this form was made in great haste and does not verify whether you entered valid contact information.

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

“Trump is illegally disappearing people. He is proposing abducting Americans. He must be removed from power. He no longer has authority.”

And honestly that’s the weak version of what Democrats should be saying.

"Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters."

-Frederick Douglass, 1857

Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

In the last century unions in this country made a massive error in responding to offshoring not by saying “we will organize our siblings all around the world because we are stronger together,” But instead focusing on keeping jobs here. I’m glad to see a bit more solidarity here

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books

Anyway. I’m here to stay until that happens. I’ll keep reporting until they pull my keyboard away. I’ll keep telling the stories of transgender people in this time and age.

If not for those who read today, for those who look back on these times in years to come.

Students rally on quad on campus. Band plays while students hold rally.

Students hold signs.

Students march on campus with signs.

Students rally on campus with Palestinian flags.

Students across the US are rallying on campuses to demand an end to sweeping attacks on international students, as the Trump administration moves to revoke visas for hundreds. Protests in the last few days have taken place in Indiana, Florida, Texas, Michigan and beyond.

It is very easy to be vindicated by history when your consistent position, one which anyone can and should take, is opposition to the existance of the American Gestapo

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Fascism is hostile to life, and hostile to art. Def starting to feel the encroach.

This is right! & bc each person has a limited number of projects they can get in on, sometimes you really do just have to be like, "Hope they know what they're doing over there!" and get back to working on what you & your associates are doing over here
