This is what you should get loud about. If you have any Republican representatives, call them now -and repeatedly. Do what you can to stop this from passing.

NEW: Experts are questioning the legality behind the FBI’s unprecedented raid of 2020 election materials in Fulton County. They’re also warning it’s not about 2020 — but 2026.
Law professor Rick Hasen said it’s possible “this is a test run for 2026, when control of Congress may be at stake.”

FBI’s Fulton County raid may have been illegal, legal experts warn. But it definitely raises fears for 2026
'This is a test run for 2026... Trump could try to seize voting machines or otherwise interfere with state ballot tabulation processes in swing districts around the country.'

I can't emphasize how radical this all is. There's never been a bill to mass invalidate driver's licenses at this scale. It will create immense fear for trans people. They could be pulled over and arrested for driving with an invalid license. They could be ratted out by people around them.

Want to re-emphasize what this bill does. It implements a $1,000 bounty for anyone to sue someone they suspect is trans and using the bathroom.

So the FBI has time to raid an elections office in Georgia in order to prop up Trump’s conspiracy theories about losing the 2020 election… but not to release the Epstein Files?

If you aren't familiar with what DARVO is, get familiar with it. "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender." The govt is relying on DARVO as a tactic on a national scale, and it is also increasingly a conservative tactic to attack outspoken critics of their ideas, theories, & renderings of history.

Last year a "women's leadership roundtable" was cancelled by our university lawyers because there were no men on it (really!) and the LGBTQ center was no longer allowed to host National Coming Out Day events (the students luckily took that event over).

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).
The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
