This is the America that Trump & Vance want. It's a direct and intentional result of their policies.

A contemporaneous record can’t rely on platforms built for ephemerality. Feeds reorder, context slips, memory edits itself. Some things require permanence.

What happened does not belong to the feed. It belongs to the public.

They _certainly_ would not put up gender-ideology-based barriers between veterans and the treatments they need for their probably-service-related-but-it's-near-impossible-to-prove-how-you-got-cancer cancers.

"Male breast cancer" is no more a distinct disease than "male PTSD" or "male heart attack."
Citing a Trump executive order banning "gender ideology," the VA is withholding coverage and treatment for male veterans with breast cancer, an increasing condition among veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during service. 100 male veterans a year are diagnosed with breast cancer.

On this day in 1830, Belva Lockwood was born. She became a pioneering attorney and 1884 presidential candidate. In 1894, she challenged Virginia's refusal to admit her to the state bar. She lost, even though VA’s statute explicitly authorized admission to “any person” admitted elsewhere. #WeTheMen

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove that you are a citizen.

News coverage of the Trump administration's proposed "compact" with universities has been, so far, shockingly bad.

I hate to pick on NPR reporter Elissa Nadworny, who's usually a solid reporter, but almost every important thing I heard her say this morning about the proposed "compact" was false.

Portland: A Test We Must Not Fail

Trump’s Portland troop order fabricates crisis to expand power. Los Angeles showed the waste: idle soldiers, sinking morale, rising costs. Democracies fail not when tanks roll first, but when citizens accept soldiers as props.

Portland: A Test We Must Not Fail
Portland is the stage, not the target. Fabricated crisis is the test. Failure means silence. Passing means refusal, litigation, and exposing spectacle for what it is.
