I’ll DM you!

I can’t fully put into words the relief this ruling brings - honestly, I'm still in shock. I’m deeply grateful to our legal team and to the other plaintiffs in Orr v. Trump - their support has helped keep me grounded every step of the way. This fight isn’t over, and we’re not backing down!

So proud of @ashinwv.bsky.social
To the rest of the clients in this case, thank you for your bravery, and to @aclu.org, thank you for the hard work on this.

This will save lives.

Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

Here’s a radical idea:

Don’t transport people in shipping containers.

Pretty sure it’s considered inhumane and human trafficking.

For over a year and a half, the Israeli government has repeatedly used weapons supplied by America to break U.S. and international humanitarian law.

54,000 Gazans are dead. Half a million are on the brink of famine. We must pass the Block the Bombs Act and save lives.

FBI shows up at Charlottesville public defender's home unannounced after ICE raid The day before the Memorial Day weekend, FBI agents arrived at the homes of Charlottesville-area lawyers to question them about an ICE raid in the city in April.

FBI agents are now visiting Charlottesville’s public defenders *at their homes*. It’s naked intimidation of our justice system.

Our government must defend our immigrant communities, not target and scapegoat them.

Happy #Pride - our liberations are all intertwined 🌈🖤

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

msrachelforlittles . Leaders - Be so ashamed of your silence. Be so ashamed that you've seen the images videos we've seen AY they haven't moved you to do the right thing.

I’m really proud of this opinion piece in Rolling Stone, which exposes how the House’s new budget bill targets #trans people by banning Medicaid coverage for transition-related care and threatening broader #healthcare access.
