Just a day before our Senate hearing, yet another judge is ordering Trump to stop his illegal domestic deployments into our cities.

Tomorrow, I look forward to grilling DoD on its justification for this egregious abuse of our heroes.

Spoiler: there is none.

The EPA has removed references about humans causing climate change from its website. No US government website can be trusted for science information.

Trump is constantly Projecting, just about every time he opens his mouth on just about any subject, he is projecting.

Be assured, when he accuses anyone of a crime, he is talking about himself.

Can someone please back me up on this? This, “For America” individual needs some attention, good attention, necessary attention in order to adjust his intolerance and bigotry. Most of his posts are flagged for intolerance. He should also see some of these flags bashing back: 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏴‍☠️🇨🇦🇺🇸

This is a political and completely baseless lawsuit. The medical orgs are utilizing their fundamental 1st amendment rights to engage in scientific and medical speech. They should get this removed to federal court and get it dismissed.

The first casualty in the conquest of fascism is language
The BBC is now consistently using a transphobic slur to refer to trans people.

Transphobes are still not happy. That's still not hateful and cruel enough.

Amazon workers in Quebec unionized, so Amazon closed all their fulfillment centres in the province.

7 centres shut down. Almost 2,000 people out of work.

This is a massive violation of labour rights.

It’s also an excellent reason to boycott Amazon.

Under RFK Jr., the CDC provides a megaphone to the anti-vaccine movement.

Common anti-vaccine talking points were on display as the CDC’s anti-vaxxer advisers repealed a hepatitis B birth vaccine recommendation and scrutinized the childhood schedule.

I think the four pieces I edited by incarcerated queer journalist B Speaks may be the thing I'm proudest of this year. Speaks is an incredible writer, with an ability to take you into the world of the GA prison, and its trans and queer inmates, that takes my breath away.
In August, we got a bit of extra money from a generous donor, and I used it to expand into coverage of trans life in American prisons.

This piece, by incarcerated journalist B Speaks, describes the chaos Georgia's forced detransition regime, currently halted by the courts, wreaked in one prison.

I believe she’s referring to SKKKOTUS
The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests."

Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race."

Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

I can't wait until the United States cleanses itself of all the ugly traces of Donald Trump. Take his name off buildings. Remove all the tacky gold bric-a-brac from the White House walls. Bulldoze his vulgar ballroom. Restore MLK, Jr Day and Juneteenth at parks. #Fumigate
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.
