4 frame comic where Miller slowly blinks. Text reads. A few hours ago, speaking on cnn about Trump's plan to send the national guard into us cities, Miller said : under title 10 of the us code, the president has plenary authority, has... He then fully stopped talking and just blinked at the camera, as if he realized that he said the quiet part out loud. "Plenary authority" means "complete power over a particular area with no limitayions". It is equivalent to ruling by decree, which us how Mussolini, Stalin or Hitler governed. Having "plenary authority" over the military would mean that Trump can just use the national guard as he pleases, no matter what the courts say. It's a power grab.

What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?

Yay, passport application is finally done! Was more expensive than I realized but so happy that it is at least done. Now its just a waiting game seeing if my passport will come back with the right gender marker 🀞

Even if that doesn't happen, it's still a passport I could use to get out when I can 🩷

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

screenshot of a tweet from username "Mai //Temporary hack TODO - Add perm @MaiValentrans"
 
"I've got like quadruple the followers I had the last time I said this, so I'm gonna say it again. When all the camps in Germany were liberated in Germany after WW2, the captives with pink triangles got sent to prison to finish out their sentence because homosexuality was illegal. 

That's not something that any history book feels the need to bring up. The queer history of the world is constantly erased, and then we are told by indignant bigots that our identities are simply modern trends."

@sanders.senate.gov Any chance I could contact someone in your crew working the event this Friday in Denver to request for an ASL interpreter? I'm also somewhat low vision so I'm hoping for a spot somewhat close to the interpreter to see them more clearly. Really hoping to go and support y'all soon!

A four frame comic strip. Two adults are chatting. First one says : You know what scares me? Parents allowing their kids to be trans. That's child abuse! The other one replies : OMG! Let kids be kids. In this case, it means to let trans kids transition so they get to enjoy their childhood instead of feeling broken and unloved because of who they are. Not allowing a trans kid to transition won't make them less trans, just miserable and distressed. That's child abuse!

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

Things are coming apart quickly, so a word to white folk: you’re going to have to get used to property damage if you want to survive. Getting upset protesters set an empty Target on fire & making THAT & not police murder the focus is part of how we got here.

I know using alt-text for images isn't yet habit for a lot of refugees from Xitter. I get it. But ESPECIALLY when sharing anything related to political activism, please use it. Disabled people, including blind folks or those w/ low vision, are targets right now. They must be a part of your activism.

The next person to ask a trans person, β€˜what rights don’t you have’ right now?

Try a social experiment.

Punch their front teeth out, then ask them, β€˜what teeth don’t you have?’

Then tell them β€˜that’s your opinion’ and ignore them while you walk away.

Because that’s the shit that got us here.

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump.

β€œWe had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing.

It would have been easy for them to say β€œgulf of America”

But it never stops there.

They got the memo. Good job AP.

The image is a historical black-and-white photograph showing a large crowd of people performing the Nazi salute. Among them, one man stands with his arms crossed, refusing to participate. A red arrow and a circular highlight emphasize this man, drawing attention to his defiance. The image has overlaid text at the bottom that reads, "Be this Guy," encouraging individual resistance and moral courage in the face of conformity.
