The Chilling Line Trump Just Crossed On Transgender People With the latest trans military executive order, the administration has given up all pretense of "evidence-based care," and has moved to the kind of dehumanization meant to justify atrocity.

1. Yesterday, Trump's executive order crossed a new line.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I find it interesting that the same people who use religion as the justification for taking away rights from women and LGBTQ folks are saying that a sermon calling for compassion and mercy and humility and unity is too political.

I feel more than ever that making up stories can help save us and keep us whole.

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

Joe Biden is Leonard Peltier’s last hope | Rose Styron and Alex Matthiessen The imprisoned Native American is long overdue for clemency. Joe Biden is probably the last president who can give it to him

It would be a tragedy if President Biden dIdn’t pardon Leonard Peltier, who deserves clemency if anyone does and who is emblematic of our nation’s grotesque mistreatment of Native Americans.

Disabled people are not acceptable casualties.

Not during natural disasters.
Not during a pandemic.
Not during climate collapse.
Not for profit.
Not for optics.
Not at protests.
Not at school.
Not for election goals.
Not for personal comfort.

There is no justice without disability justice.

Hey. Remember this, friends. Remind yourself of this.

I fear there is deep truth here.

So true.

The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.
