The Case for the Forever Shutdown
Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trumpβs government is illegitimate.
Bridging my current life in Chicago and my past life in D.C., I argue today at @newrepublic.com that Democrats should ~never~ vote to fund this government. Make John Thune blow up Senate rules and Republicans wholly own the U.S. extra-military military doing war crimes against us, funded by us.

People often mistake my commitment to wanting everyone to have human rights and healthcare to mean I love everyone or something.
I do not.
I just think baseline survival shouldn't be based on who I personally like.
I reserve the right to hate folks and never ever give them a moment of time, tho.

Absolutely the fuck not. I, a cis woman, the demographic J.K. Rowling claims to be "protecting", am a little scared now going into women's bathrooms, because I don't fit into the neat little box of what a woman should look like and now I wonder every time if that will translate into danger for me.

This framing exists because the decision is instantly obvious as one of the legal atrocities of US history, like Dred Scot, the 1870s Civil Rights Cases, Korematsu. The Times doesnβt want to say βThe Supreme Court stripped rights out of lawβ so instead it says βHereβs why they did it to themselvesβ

Terrible Gallup poll today. Lots of bad anti-trans sentiment, but this one really blew my mind and should be VERY eye opening to our LGB folks:
America is about to cross back over into being gay or lesbian is something that is caused externally (and therefore "fixable" with conversion therapy)

Israel-Gaza war: IVF clinics destroyed, crushing hopes of motherhood
Couples in Gaza using IVF to help them conceive βleft with nothingβ after 4,000 embryos at an IVF clinic were destroyed.

Homeland Security &
@DHSgov
It is absolutely sickening to compare ICE law enforcement agents to the Gestapo.
Attacks and demonization of ICE and our partners is wrong. ICE officers are now facing a 413% increase in assaults.
Our message is clear: DO NOT come to this country illegally. If you do, we will arrest you, deport you and you will never return.
If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, consider not engaging in these activities:
β’ campaigns of terror
β’ kidnapping
β’ separating families
β’ rounding up and imprisoning people for having the wrong opinions
β’ sending people to foreign gulags with no due process
β’ concentration camps
