@joyannreid.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com SSA praising the passage of the big busted bill. Sent out emails saying the same as well. Thought someone might want to do some reporting on this.

The sign of our truly authoritarian regime. Just got this in my email inbox and am still reeling in disbelief and horror. Shame on you.

Can we nip this "Alligator Alcatraz" shit in the bud? We don't need to adopt their cutesy marketing when talking about the concentration camp in the Florida Everglades

I don't think there is a chance that is going to happen, but your optimism is heartening, maybe.

This is fundamentally why this capitulation or compromise game doesn't work. The anti trans side doesn't want some "reasonable" compromise on sports or other issues.

They see trans people as less than human who should be eradicated from society. You can't compromise with that.

Total domination does not allow for free initiative
in any field of life, for any activity that is not entirely predictable. Totali-
tarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of
their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence
and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.u

This seems like a good time to remind folks of what Hannah Arendt once wrote:

This is the final step on the road to authoritarian fascism.

If the President can rule by decree and cannot be scrutinized or reviewed by the other two branches, then this experiment in democracy is done.

This image displays a list of U.S. senators who support a particular issue or bill, with a total count of 60 supporters. Each senator's name is accompanied by their state abbreviation and, in some cases, a quote or comment. The list includes:

1. Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada) – with a quote: "It would cause too many Americans to suffer."

2. Dick Durbin (Illinois)

3. John Fetterman (Pennsylvania) – with a partial quote: "I will never vote to shut the government down."

4. Kirsten Gillibrand (New York)

5. Margaret Wood Hassan (New Hampshire)

6. Gary Peters (Michigan)

7. Brian Schatz (Hawaii)

8. Charles E. Schumer (New York) – with a quote: "For sure, the Republican bill is a terrible option."

9. Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire) (grayed out, possibly indicating a different status or emphasis)

Each senator is represented with a small portrait on the left, and the text is formatted with bold headings and lighter subtext. The list appears to be part of a political report or legislative tracking document.

Cloture has met the 60 votes to pass in the senate with the help of at least 9 Democrats: Schumer, Fetterman, Hassan, Cortez Masto, Durbin, Gillibrand, Shaheen, Schatz, and Peters.

They sold out our country to Trump and Elon. They're traitors to democracy.

When DOGE cuts aviation safety and planes crash, when Medicaid is demolished and your community hospital closes, when trans care is banned through pulling funding, when Musk subverts democracy…

These dems own it.

"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.
