USian trans people aren't telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom to cause you distress and despair.

USian trans people are telling you they won't vote for Gavin Newsom so you don't vote for his transphobic ass in the primaries.

They are giving you actionable information.

I went to Minneapolis to see what it means when ICE occupies a city. And I left with one unmistakable realization: ICE is not broken. It is working exactly as President Donald Trump wants it to.

It cannot be reformed or retrained. It must be abolished.
El Sayed: It's time to abolish ICE
After the violence of the last year, abolishing ICE is not extreme; it is the necessary next step.

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

Not that I think anyone in Tennessee who follows me would vote for this guy but if you ever have someone around you talk about him positively, might want to bring this up.
WATCH: “MURDER IS MURDER.”

Rep. Monty Fritts, Tennessee Republican candidate for governor, confirms to us he thinks execution should be on the table for women who have abortions😳

(He also says he’s against the new law protecting IVF carried by a Republican)

History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages, literature, & music studies matter. The arts, humanities, and social sciences shape our understanding of culture, identity, and the human experience. They are vital to fostering empathy, critical thinking, and a deeper connection to the world. 💪
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank!

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

ICE murdered a nurse today
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Its probably been said since this was posted, but on Thursday, Democrats had the numbers. The bill passed 220-207 with 7 Democrats voting yea. If they all vote nay, DHS funding fails 213-214.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

When your GM posts the day after a session and you're like "Wait, there was more stuff?"
#ttrpg GM tip: The earlier you kill them, the more of your beautiful prep is preserved from their filthy, despoiling little player eyes. You made something perfect. The last thing you want is some half-drow bard/paladin rubbing his dumb homebrew feats all over it.
