I'm just going to say this about the "Do Not Travel" map Discourse: Tools like that can be useful for any marginalized group under threat. But we also have to realize that any "Do Not Travel" map is necessarily also a "Map of the Trans People in Most Danger" map.

I don't think I've ever seen a group so litigious as gender criticals in the UK. They want to censor any and all criticism of them. Every time I criticize JK Rowling on here, there's like ten TERF accounts snitch tagging Rowling on X asking her to sue me. Thankfully, we have a First Amendment here.

Historians have documented how the vast majority of New Deal programs discriminated and full on left Black people out. If Roosevelt is the greatest President of the 20th century, then this says A LOT about US Presidents. Also saying 'i know, I know the concentration camps...' is diabolical.

As early as today, the Trump admin could move to terminate TPS for El Salvador after 25 years. Without Congress acting, around 170,000 people who've been living and working legally here since 2001 might be forced to leave. The economic disruption to DC metro area could be huge.

We can see this in the ICE flight data. Domestic “round-up” flights are spiking, and some activist flight watchers report the flights are getting fuller. But deportation and removal flights remain steady. This means the concentration camps are getting packed to the brim. It’s awful to comprehend.

I really question whether I'll still live in the UK a year from now.
In one case, a trans intersex woman described using the male toilets during a work party as she was not out to her employer, “which was in accordance with the gender I was presenting as, the gender I was assigned at birth, and EHRC guidance”. However, security staff believed she should be using the female toilet as they presumed she was a trans man and ordered her to leave the event altogether.  

In another case, a tall, flat chested cis woman with short hair described being surrounded by a group of women in a toilet at Victoria station, who threatened to call the police and told her “don’t you know you’re not allowed in here anymore” in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling.  

“Before the ruling any challenges had been gentle, like ‘oh by the way this is the ladies’,” she was quoted as saying, “and people were embarrassed or apologetic when I said ‘it’s okay I’m a girl’, but now it’s aggressive and horrible.”

So far, the Democratic Socialists of America's success has been confined in large part to deep-blue city districts. Meanwhile, in suburban areas and in statewide contests establishment Democrats generally are winning against progressive challengers. Chicago saw its own version of this dynamic in March in the hotly contested and crowded race to succeed retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the 9th Congressional District. The bomb-throwing influencer Kat Abughazaleh, 27, won the portions of that district in Chicago's North Side lakefront neighborhoods, but suburban votes gave savvy
Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss the win.
