Trans people are being unconstitutionally persecuted, and OUR side is spreading around advice to ignore it! People ARE NOT a "distraction". They are standing up for YOU, and you are being encouraged to help the bigots win - and GOING ALONG WITH IT. Stop being so fucking stupid. Speak out.

The Fight Over Trans Rights Is About YOUR Rights, Not Just Theirs

Do you think Trump gives the slightest fuck about trans people? Don't be stupid.

Slashing special ed staff in the Department of Education and gutting public health agencies is what you do if you are a straight-up eugenicist.

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier--

BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for

BASH: So this is retribution then

Hundreds of people who were once detained at "Alligator Alcatraz" have disappeared.

Lawyers and family members have been unable to reach them.

It’s as if they never existed.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

The White House continues to escalate its far-right deportation dragnet across the country. Congress must stand up to Trump’s masked gangs now.

Sign the petition: Stop violent ICE raids immediately and halt Trump’s devastating mass deportations!

End Trump’s violent ICE raids!

As Trump escalates his authoritarian law-breaking, it’s time for Congress to take a stand and protect immigrants.
