Trans women transferred to men’s prisons despite rulings against Trump’s order Incarcerated trans women report being groped by male guards and suicidal thoughts: ‘I’m punished for existing’

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.

We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.

This is inhumane and illegal.

WYOMING:
“Thank you, Madam chairman.”
“I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.”
“Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Donold says he’s standing up for persecuted Christians…unless they’re Catholic bishops pleading for mercy, then they’re ‘radical leftists.’

So you didn’t like the halftime show?

Thank you for everything you do!

Every country that Trump slaps a tariff on should retaliate by slapping a 1000% tariff on all Tesla and Starlink products, if only to show Elon that there is a downside to using our public government as his private playpen.

This is a national emergency:

Rep AOC: "republicans, who have voted consistently against the violence against women's act, who have taken the rights of all women to have control over their own body, who as women are bleeding out in parking lots, now want to pretend today that they care about women."

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Just want to remind yall, no matter what:

Every fucking MAGA cultist who fucking assured me that Trump had no fucking plans whatsoever to implement fucking Project 2025 can go fuck themselves.

AF maintainers and pilots are violating their oaths to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Immigration is a civilian matter.

Hey friends, as the ICE raids intensify, know your rights. Go to the ACLU website or, even better, download their app.

Trump’s Actions on DEI Are an Attack on Black America Donald Trump's executive order rescinds federal DEIA programs, targeting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. This move threatens Black Americans' employment and social progress.

Sources at the CIA, DHS, and NASA are reporting a memorandum saying all resource and affinity groups are cancelled. (Black History month, MLK celebrations, or any other ethnic recognition months...LGBTQ as well).

In a world of Pete Hegseths, be a Rev. Mariann Budde.

BREAKING NEWS:

Donald Trump orders all federal employees identified as DEI hires to placed on leave by 5pm.

The order is said to target trans federal employees and some people of Color.

This is arbitrary and evil. No other way to describe it.

This asshole is:

1. Railing against someone who actually practices their faith as Jesus instructed, something he never does;

2. Railing against people who release criminals from jails when he released over a thousand just this week; and

3. Railing against refugees, when Jesus was one in Egypt.
