The Right Is Coming For Same-Sex Marriage With An Insidious New Campaign The anti-LGBTQ “Greater Than” campaign is leveraging children to attack the rights of same-sex married couples

Same-sex marriage is under attack again. The Christian nationalist right has launched a new campaign, and, unsurprisingly, it’s using children’s safety as a pretext to roll back equality.

Read it all please.

I see now why so many companies have quietly changed things about their employee resource groups.

Kill DHS. Useless entity

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

some accounts are unfortunately leaning into the market for "scaring high-anxiety libs/leftists with doomer predictions". there is a risk of ICE agents showing up to some polling locations and detaining people who look "foreign", sure, but like... they can barely detain dozens, much less thousands.

Dems, too. They are complicit and now think it can be “reformed”. Yuck.

ICE and DHS have been terrorists since the beginning. Abolish the whole thing. They do nothing for the country. Glad some people are finally waking up, but I can still wish they’d done it when we told them years ago.

Disappointing to see people on here talking about their ideal ICE/CBP reforms.

It is a terrorism organization that is conducting terror campaigns.

Abolish.

At minimum.

That's it.

strange to me that a lot of people on this website simultaneously agree that the administration is run by incompetents who struggle to carry out their agenda without major political blowback AND that they’ll pull off a complex and sophisticated effort to rig elections and prevent defeat in November

"The question is are we prepared to respond when [Constitutional] limits are tested, ignored, or broken. History suggests that waiting until the law is fully cast aside is always too late."

This is definitely one of the ones I liked ☺️

Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

When your religion teaches that those who don't believe as you do are sent to eternal hell, it kind of makes sense to me that when that religion mutates into a fascist political movement, you would be perfectly fine with those who disagree with you getting shot in the face.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Republicans are desperate to crack down on direct democracy Read more here.

Across the country, a growing number of Republican-led state legislatures are moving to gut the direct democracy process — stripping voters of their power to use ballot measures to pass laws when elected officials refuse to act. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/rep...

How Trump unleashed a domestic terrorism movement—and how to defeat it "We've hit a frightening apex," says one security expert.

For five years, Trump has whitewashed the Jan. 6 insurrection, culminating with him freeing roughly 1,500 criminals. But make no mistake: it was a devastating extremist attack on our republic—and it was led by him. The deep evidence, plus a thread on his lies 👉 www.motherjones.com/politics/202... 1x

God, this thread by Jason is depressing.

Can’t say he’s wrong tho!

I feel this in my bones. I’m just living day to day at this point. I survived authoritarian rule before, so I at least have that advantage.

Yes - I did so much better with graphic novels. Very helpful ☺️

Via 19thnews: A crowd-sourced effort, as well as trackers from advocacy organizations and labor unions, show that the Trump administration has implemented roughly half of the goals laid out in the 920 pages of Project 2025, a right-wing plan to remake the government. https://ow.ly/r7Au50XMzlJ

In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a @wabe.org and ProPublica analysis found.

Advocates say it would be cheaper to help families get housing.
