Wisconsin man who showed up to support an anti-trans bill does something amazing - Queerty “I have a very little knowledge of gay people and things like that there…” “I have a very little knowledge of gay people and things like that there…”

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it

By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind

Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

Our country has had enough of the abuse of power of Donald Trump. Our country is uniting - and our coalition is growing. Together we stand with @indivisible.org , Women’s March, @polrev.bsky.social @voicesofflorida.bsky.social in a UNITED nationwide mobilization …with a special event in DC.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

This is unacceptable. There has to be a line in the sand. And if you can’t see that, you should not be in office. I voted for you before, but I will never vote for you again.

"Institutions, inside & outside higher ed, might want to think carefully about their stance of self-protective silence in the face of a government that covets the unchecked power of authoritarianism. Anything could be the next Columbia in the ongoing quest to scare us all straight."

Opinion | This Is the Greatest Threat to Free Speech Since the Red Scare Mahmoud Khalil’s detention is a frightening sign of an authoritarian slide.

The unlawful detention of Mahmoud Khalil is one of the most extreme threats to free speech in 50 years.

Trump is sending a message that people who speak out will be punished — but we have a message for him, too.

We'll see you in court.

We call for the immediate release of former Columbia University grad student Mahmoud Kahlil, a legal permanent resident of the US. His abduction is an assault not only on basic immigration law but on our 1st Amendment protections of freedom of speech & assembly.

“I will just let the Republicans do whatever they want without fighting back and I will shame my dem colleagues who actually try to do something”

🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE

Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody.

We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

A sign held by a demonstrator reads, "Government funded biomedical research saved my child's life."

A sign reads, "Stand up for science."

A sign reads, "even the ocean is less fishy than this administration."
