Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate β€” overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

really horrified by the continued and escalating strangulation of Cuba by a global superpower that has absolutely no reason to do so other than pure spite

please remember that no matter how many β€œICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.

people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

this is after more than a dozen cities across the state moved to take action into their own hands and protect trans residents, in defiance of the governor and the legislature.

this bill is removing "home rule" on civil rights from cities and counties in iowa. this makes attempts to keep civil rights protections for trans people in Iowa (like what I helped write and pass in JoCo/IC) illegal, and restricts any chance of expanding rights at the local level for anyone.

Iowa Legislature - BillBook Information pertaining to the Iowa Legislature as well as the Executive and Judicial branch in as much as they relate to the legislative branch

it is surreal that, for the second time in my recent life, Kim Reynolds and her legislative ghouls are trying to make a bill about me and my hot friends and the hot girl stuff we do in Iowa City. www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/...

The president of the ASPS is a huge Trump supporter if you're wondering why they shifted positions now to align with the Trump Administration. He's donated substantially to Trump and Ted Cruz. This was a political decision.

O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

I’m not allowed to safely use a public bathroom because a literal island of pedophiles said trans people might be sketchy.

… and somehow that’s barely a sliver of the things that happened thanks to a literal island of pedophiles making stuff up.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

dont let a few ICE agents leaving mn fool you. nothing on the ground has changed yet. this is a way for them to distract and give a scapegoat so the rest of the world will turn a blind eye.

This isn't capitulation they just believe this shit. Beneath the grand pronouncements liberalism and social democracy both are based on the violence of the state; the maintenance of border and race and class and gender by men with guns

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Tomorrow morning's subcommittee on HF2121 (Don't Say Gay k-12) was CANCELLED about 7:15 this evening.

I assume that it will be rescheduled. It may have only been cancelled because those who support the bill will all be in Clive tomorrow for Pres. Trump's speech.

This is the sort of thing that defines fascism more than most other aspects. The installation of secret police to monitor everyone for suspicion not of doing anything wrong, but of being the wrong kind of person.

​Newport co-ed cheerleading team is at center of Trump transgender athlete crackdown​Trump admin focuses on swimming, cheerleading in Maine transgender athlete probes The U.S. Department of Education announced a slew of Title IX-related investigations this week that include 2 school districts in Maine.

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.
