I respectfully disagree with the jury’s verdict in the Judge Hannah Dugan case.
The trial evidence showed that Judge Dugan did not obstruct ICE agents from arresting an undocumented immigrant.
Let’s see what happens on appeal. Meanwhile, our support for Judge Dugan continues.

In 2012 Trump was perfectly happy to refer to a transgender beauty contestant as a “young woman,” and to allow her and other transgender contestants to compete in his pageants, shrugging, “maybe she’ll win… and I feel fine with that decision.”
GOP anti-trans scapegoating is a cynical marketing ploy

Think about this. Did you hear trans panic headlines in the 2000s? No.
Conservatives weren’t “worried” about trans people until the day they lost on Marriage Equality.
Once they realized most of us are just fine with gay marriage, they needed a new wedge issue and started attacking trans people.

I’m rewatching Mad About You & theres a joke where Ursula the ditzy waitress mistakes a recurring character for a post-op trans woman and immediately talks about how great she looks now, then deadnames her as part of a running joke at Ursula’s expense. In 1995. The great trans scare is manufactured.

We now have a bipartisan majority of members of Congress demanding a vote to extend ACA tax credits and keep health care affordable for all Americans.
Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

We just learned that the court in my lawsuit — Neguse et al. v. ICE — has temporarily stopped the Trump administration from blocking Members of Congress from unannounced oversight visits to immigration detention facilities.
The rule of law will prevail.

Good news: a court just agreed to review the case challenging Trump's illegal attempt to destroy the CFPB, the agency that has returned more than $21 billion directly to Americans scammed by giant corporations.
The courts must uphold the law – or families will pay the price.
