1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.
There’s always a lot of handwringing regarding alleged violence by unhoused folks - and rarely an honest conversation about what they’re subjected to on a daily basis.
A dispatch from the annals of Project 2025 authoritarianism: Universities are now being required to provide demographic data on all students who applied to their schools for the past 5 years so the feds can sniff out illegal affirmative action. Until last year, tho, keeping such data was not allowed
This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

Trump is planning a mass eviction of tens of thousands of immigrant families in public and section 8 housing. They tried this in 2019 and we blocked it - help us fight back and win again.

NEW: As we've seen the raids & ICE surges, everyone has had so many questions. 'what can states do?' 'what can cities do?' 'what can one ask a sheriff, governor, zoning board, to do?!'
you sent us a lot of your questions.
we just answered 9 of them. i learned a ton myself, i think you will to.
The machine hasn’t stopped be we can enjoy a particular monster absolutely eating it
I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!
Trump is announcing his nominee.
That's it.
If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now.
And that matters come November.
(also mass incarceration)
Trans ppl under attack from the govt could be identified and outed w/o their consent.
Undocumented immigrants would be cut off from the ability to communicate w advocates.
Young ppl seeking abortions won't be able to access info safely and anonymously.
This is what congress is advancing today 👇🏻

We need better Democrats.
Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.
A new Better Neighbors report says if LA started actually enforcing its short-term rentals, the city would rake in $40 to $50 million each month — "more than any measure the city is currently proposing for the ballot to raise revenue."

The Supreme Court is basically just ruling that youth are property and right-wing Christians are the only people with rights.

if the US government logs these trees at the rate / quantity they're proposing, we'll lose one of the last old-growth forests. there's no coming back from that. if you have five minutes to leave a comment pushing back against the BLM, please do; there's a guide to that below.
I don't care if Congress authorizes War on Iran. NO WAR ON IRAN. I want people to fucking reclaim their morality.
“The Department of Homeland Security admitted to Congress this month that it deported dozens of unauthorized immigrants who are protected under U.S. law because they were brought as children to the United States, according to a letter made public Thursday.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
Some people get mad when I say that most people don't actually know what to do so you have to offer ideas for what people can do. But I remain right about this.

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.
Underrated just how much the US and Israel have been desecrating the very idea of diplomatic engagement by doing these obvious bait and switches.
This is the third time now that negotiations were used as cover to prepare for a war already decided. The lesson is to never speak to the US.
