Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting “They killed my wife,” the distraught woman says, adding, “They shot her in the head.”

One thing that shouldn't be missed is that the woman murdered was queer and was murdered right in front of her wife.

I don't live in Maine right now. But I am from Maine and my disappointment is palpable. I just want a pro-trans, pro-LGBTQIA+ candidate without hateful baggage who just wants to help the most in need. Why is it so hard?

I was excited for his pro-trans, pro-LGBTQIA+ statements and messaging. My disappointment in him is immeasurable.

I've considered running for local office a bunch of times. But I just don't like how the mustache looks on me. /s

I'm iffy on it, too. But I also acknowledge that the word was just self-used for the community for decades and lots of older LGBTQIA+ people still use it.

As a former service member. What a joke. Protect your civilians from an occupying force ffs.

"Transgenders". Tell me you don't see trans people as equal humans without saying it. Get out of here with your nounified adjectives. Same language the GOP uses FFS.

I think it looks great!

This is true. This has been the policy since the order stopping ongoing care was signed. It's at the bottom.

Been fundraising for my own GAC recently, and I've definitely been side eyeing all the straight-cis allies in my life who donate to democrats but won't put their money where their mouth is for their own community advocates.

I've been building silly decks in a card game and teaching my spouse and friends (who were always intimidated by the percentage of men in the spaces) how to play in a co-op environment. They've been having a lot of fun!

This is South Carolina! #nokings #peacefulprotests

To be fair... at least one, if not both, are 'high'.

I hate this timeline. 🫠

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm a mascot. Easily recognized. Friendly face. I'm around to help put people at ease. And that's my number one job. Lol.

It was because it was the metro Paris area, lol. We see the same thing in any big city, really.

No, not really. Most American classrooms don't teach language through natural acquisition. This was a constant fight I had with my supervisors when I was teaching at university. They preferred to use more antiquated, prescriptive instruction.

It is. It's paced at a similar speed to classroom instruction. It ramps up as you go and focuses on natural acquisition versus direct instruction. It will feel slow at first, and it will ramp up with more words and more structures, scaffolding on what you know. Modeled after how kids learn.

As a former linguist specializing in teaching language. Duolingo teaches in a way that a lot of people are programmed to learn, using more modern methods circa 2015 or so.

It is, however, missing immersion and real speaking opportunities. So it's primarily geared to teaching reading and listening.

Always!

Yep. Fortunately, we filled the subcommittee room with so many people they chose not to even speak on the bill the day it was scheduled. I don't believe we've seen it rescheduled; and we're not sure if it will be yet. But we'll keep working.

A legal document titled "MEMORANDUM OPINION" from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland in the case PFLAG, Inc., et al. v. Donald J. Trump et al. (Civil No. 25-337-BAH). The document discusses the court's ruling on the Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction (ECF 69), outlining the legal standard required for such relief, including likelihood of success on the merits, irreparable harm, balance of equities, and public interest. It references the prior granting of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) on February 13, 2025, which enjoined the enforcement of specific Executive Orders prohibiting federal funding for gender-affirming medical care for transgender patients under 19. The document cites relevant case law and procedural background. The page header indicates it is Document 115, filed on March 4, 2025, and is page 1 of 66.

Huge news, a preliminary injunction was just granted in the PFLAG v Trump case enjoining the administration from enforcing the executive order ban on gender affirming care for trans youth.

I'm so, so tired of these clowns raiding government systems and violating -what used to be- U.S. law because they think they've 'owned the libs'.
