RI, always blue, never really progressive.

"State politics is governed by big party bosses who set the agenda and block what they don’t like. That means that many progressive causes—like raising the tipped minimum wage, regulating payday loan lenders, or banning assault weapons—never see the light of day."

Rhode Island is full of Republicans who just claim to be Democrat, but they're closet conservatives who will pretend to be "social democrats" then go right ahead and vote like the religious conservative they are.

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

INCREDIBLE Ruling!

Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus.

"Tests executive power" Is one way for NPR to type "illegally ignoring a judge's orders."

So now they are arresting people accused of no crimes who are lawful residents of the United States.

Wow.

This is the most vile thing to read, especially as a trans person

Pedro Pascal calls out “vile and pathetic” transphobic trolls after defending trans rights Pedro Pascal, whose sister Lux is a trans woman, is a prominent trans ally and he has no time for transphobia.

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: “I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]

They told all their customers on bicycles that they weren’t valued as customers, and so we listened and stopped going 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh, a Sinclair station. Now I understand.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

No amount of executive orders can make us cease to exist.
