A section from a government memorandum titled "Segregation Based on Protected Characteristics" under the header "What Constitutes Unlawful Segregation?" It explains that segregation by federally funded entities based on characteristics like race or sex is generally unlawful, even if intended to promote inclusion. Highlighted text focuses on concerns regarding allowing males, including those who identify as women, access to female-only spaces such as bathrooms, locker rooms, and athletic events. The memo claims this compromises women's safety, privacy, and equal opportunity, potentially violating Title IX, and advocates for sex-based boundaries based on biological differences.

DOJ put out a memo stating that all recipients of federal funding must ban trans people from bathrooms.

Convicted Murderer Released by Trump From Venezuelan Prison Is Free in U.S.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezโ€™s statement:

Marjorie Taylor Greene's amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it.
What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue.
I have long stated that I do not believe that adding to the death count of innocent victims to this war is constructive to its end. That is a simple and clear difference of opinion that has long been established.
I remain focused on cutting the flow of US munitions that are being used to perpetuate the genocide in Gaza.

I see the misinformation machine is kicking up to support Marjorie Taylor Greeneโ€™s Israel amendment.

Advocates have a responsibility to be clear about what legislation does and doesnโ€™t do. Her amendment did NOT cut off offensive aid to Israel. We shouldnโ€™t pretend it does.

Anti-LGBTQ orgs have explicitly stated they USE sports as a "gateway drug" to undermine trans people's rights. They've also said this is how they eventually roll back all progress on LGBTQ rights. Newsom falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, thereโ€™s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

The Salvadoran State emphatically states that its authorities have not arrested, detained, or transferred the persons referred to in the communications of the Working Group. The actions of the State of El Salvador have been limited to the implementation of a bilateral cooperation mechanism with another State, through which it has facilitated the use of the Salvadoran prison infrastructure for the custody of persons detained within the scope of the justice system and law enforcement of that other State. In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters. In this regard, the actions attributable to the Salvadoran State are limited to its sovereignty and territorial jurisdiction, and therefore it cannot be held responsible for the failure to observe the principle of non-refoulement with respect to the persons mentioned.

Americans Must Prepare to Fight for the Citizenship Rights of U.S. Prisoners Trump's Plan to Render U.S. Citizens to Foreign Jails Seeks to Exploit Americans' Disinterest in the Rights of Prisoners

I flagged this in April and have been howling it into the void. Trump wants Black & Latino incarcerated U.S. citizens sent to CECOT in El Salvador, Congo, South Sudan. These are the โ€œhomegrownโ€ Trump talked about with the Salvadoran PM.

Please. Take this seriously.
