I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

“Nobody's safe from the system if they get pulled into it"

Hitler became chancellor in January 1933 and the first concentration camp was erected in March 1933.

Trump's immigration camp was the first, but it won't be the last.

Evil moves quickly.

This ain’t about abortion, it’s about punishing folks who can’t afford private care and women who dare to demand control over their own bodies.

Shutting down clinics means more undiagnosed cancer, more untreated STIs, and more folks left out here with nowhere to turn.

"At one point, he says the toilets stopped flushing. When staff failed to fix the problem, detainees were forced to remove human waste — by picking it up with their hands and moving it elsewhere themselves — to use the bathroom, all with little to no privacy."

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Seeing a dude this happy, even though he lost, because he's happy a good person won, and a shithead lost. More of this please! This is teamwork!

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

DOGE holds meetings with White House, new postal leadership and Treasury to discuss reforming USPS Internal documents reveal a series of meetings with far-reaching impacts for the future of the Postal Service.

Very worrying times for our public Postal Service. We have reports of White House meetings with the proposed new Postmaster General on postal "reform". Remember that the President has already floated privatization as a reform. #USPS #USMailNotForSale

Disappearing them. You mean Disappearing them. You cannot deport someone to a country they have never been.

We’re #1!!!

SCOOP: The funding behind the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has been murky. Now, top US officials are "forcing" USAID to approve up to $210 million to it. Israeli forces have killed hundreds of Palestinians near GHF sites.

Per docs, GHF anticipates $1 BILLION+ from other unnamed "Government Donors."

Completely illegally!

Trump orders ICE officers to expand deportation efforts in Democratic cities | CNN Politics President Donald Trump called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to expand deportation efforts in Democratic cities

All of this is being manufactured by Trump. The show of force is the point.

It distracts from his recent failures and inability to govern.

Like any bully, Trump wants to display his power — especially over those whom he doesn't consider "his" people.

oh so we should dissent peacefully?? through legitimate channels?? like by being elected to the united states senate and asking questions at a DHS press conference???

Someone on Twitter writes: "Derek would you ever consider doing a thread on how transmascs can dress well and have clothing that helps hides hips and stuff? Only advice I've gotten are straight leg jeans and a boxy shirt"

I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵
