JFC, Fulbright scholar not accused of any crime, no immigration violation, no reason to expect any violence -- just Marco Rubio's whim -- and instead of summoning her first step is no-uniform / no-ID guys in masks and hoodies grabbing her off a public street.

NEW: Erdogan has banned protests in Turkey. He has threatened to arrest anyone attending one.

This is the people’s response.

Fighting for their democracy with another vast gathering in Istanbul tonight. #Turkey 🇹🇷

Ohio Appeals Court Rules Trans Care Is Healthcare, Strikes Down Ban For Trans Youth The ruling was in part based on a 2011 Amendment in the state guaranteeing healthcare freedom, originally meant to challenge Obamacare.

1. Incredible ruling! An Ohio appeals court has ruled that trans care is healthcare, strikes down youth trans care ban!

It made the ruling using the Republican-passed "health care freedom amendment" meant to overturn Obamacare!

Eight hours later, there are still people outside the Reagan building cheering for USAID workers who’ve come back to retrieve their belongings. Hugs, roses. Rush hour traffic on Penn. Ave is honking in support.

Anyone saying the Democrats got their wallets inspected on the vote is, frankly, being either stupid or a wrecker, or both. The GOP flipped their own people. The Dems got their own reps back into the chamber, at least one limping out of a hospital bed, another with her newborn, and they were united.

YES!!!

@maddow.msnbc.com is calling it out!

I've never been so proud of someone I've never met in my life.

Thank you, Rachel. THANK YOU.

Rachel Maddow just cooked MSNBC live on their air and I don’t think I’ve seen something quite like that before.

Incredible job, @maddow.msnbc.com.

@maddow.msnbc.com absolutely stellar commentary on network changes yesterday. Well done for standing up for everybody, and calling out racism to power.

This is incredible reporting that must shock the conscience of each and every one of us.

Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members.

The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said;

“trans women are women and trans men are men”

with no-one speaking against it.

Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Stealing the Oval Office spotlight while your 4 year old tells the President to shut up is nasty work 🤣🤣🤣

Venezuelan Migrant Sent to Guantánamo Bay Is ‘Not a Criminal,’ Family Pleads (Gift Article) Luis Alberto Castillo arrived in the United States so that he could “give everything to his son,” said his sister. Then, while scrolling on TikTok, she found out he was headed to Guantánamo.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

The Educational Bookshop in East Jerusalem was raided today, and its owners, Mahmoud and Ahmed Mona, were arrested.
The bookstore is one of the premier Palestinian cultural institutions of East Jerusalem; Mahmoud Mona is among the most inspiring figures in the city.

Would be terrible if millions scheduled test drives at Tesla dealers & didn't show up.

Sort of like Saul-Alinsky-trained organizers who shut down banks in Chicago in late 1960s by opening bank accounts w/thousands of pennies.

Schedule a test-drive here: www.tesla.com/findus/list/...

Bondi also issued an order to disband the national security division’s corporate enforcement unit and placing limits on the kinds of crimes prosecutors can pursue related to foreign lobbying. Charges under the Foreign Agents Registration Act “shall be limited to instances of alleged conduct similar to more traditional espionage by foreign government actors,” according to the order. The department’s counterintelligence and export control section “shall focus on civil enforcement, regulatory initiatives and public guidance.”

Unnoticed, as far as I can tell, amidst the other madness

Any of you interested in actually doing something about the ongoing crisis in your country or would it disrupt your weekend plans

Sending love to every trans person right now. You are beautiful and perfect in exactly who you are. You matter and you may not know them all, but there are so many people in community and solidarity with you right now.
Trans rights are human rights.

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican.

Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries.

We are not going anywhere.

Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

Mississippi Democrat Bradford Blackmon is trolling the GOP’s obsession with controlling women’s bodies by introducing the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act.” It would fine men for ejaculating without intent to fertilize, highlighting the hypocrisy of abortion bans.
