COMMENTS NEEDED: The Trump administration has proposed two rules that would severely restrict best-practice health care for trans youth across the country.
We are only 4,000 comments away from reaching 15,000 comments in support of trans youth!

Horrifying.
When an ICE agent confronts you is "when your due process ends," says the member of Congress from the largest border district.

"Experts on the formation of internal security services in authoritarian regimes point to a sense of impunity as a warning sign. Regime officials abuse their power when they know they will be protected, and even praised, for doing so."
Very clarifying.

New, from me: Defenders of police abuses will sometimes talk about “bad apples” spoiling the barrel.
This is the wrong metaphor for ICE and CBP. The barrel itself is rotten. 🧵

The violent occupation of an American city is more than a warning

The case raises serious constitutional and civil rights questions.

oh and Minnesotan reminder: if your car is parked outside and you're not planning to go anywhere today, you should still go start it up at least once and run it for a little bit.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade.
Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents.

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

🚨🚨Check this out👇👇A French judge states that Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Le Pen’s trial for embezzlement. She says he’s done this to other judges around the world. What do you think he’s doing to judges in the US. This is madness‼️

This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.
We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.
