Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.

The weaponization of denaturalization - literally stripping people of American citizenship - is a big step further down the slippery slope of ethnic cleansing.

The State Department is reportedly creating an office for "remigration": a far-right policy that calls for what has been described as "soft-style ethnic cleansing."

I can’t fully put into words the relief this ruling brings - honestly, I'm still in shock. I’m deeply grateful to our legal team and to the other plaintiffs in Orr v. Trump - their support has helped keep me grounded every step of the way. This fight isn’t over, and we’re not backing down!

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

This photo shows trans genocide by the Nazi party of Germany in 1933. World War II was declared on September 1st, 1939. In those six years, Dr. Hirschfeld died in exile, and the Nazis used revisionist history of the Institute's legacy as a propaganda tool. Just as your history textbook did.

When ordered by Nazis to give lists of disabled people by disability severity, some doctors sent back exaggerated data to protect patients from forced work They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first The moral here isn't to tell the truth It's to never co-operate with Nazis
