George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine. He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews. Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care. Great coverage from Henry carnell.

Everybody asks how you’re doing, and we say “good” because we’re alive. Also could be awkward to say “I am post-nightmares!” “Comfortable doom spiral.” “Amalgamation of succumbing and suffering,” “Just mournin’ my innocence!” “Dissociated— saner than ever but cannot conceive of joy lol”

Video shows two unknown men, without uniforms or identifying insignias, attacking and kidnapping a man from a Nashua, NH courthouse back in February. During the kidnapping, the assailants, presumed to be ICE agents, knocked an elderly bystander who walks with a cane to the ground.

Like the SAVE Act, Texas' HB 5337 would require government documents to register to vote. If you can’t produce the right papers, you’re blocked – or limited to voting only in federal congressional races. It's voter suppression by design.

The real problem with fan-media treating domming as synonymous with topping is that it obliges one to leave unexplored the rich comedy potential of depicting the object of one's fandom attempting to dominantly suck a dick.

Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity." A sad day for this nation.

VOTE NO ON THE SAVE ACT!
Text SIGN PJUWYX to 50409 — I’m writing in strong opposition to H.R. 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. Congress has a constitutional responsibility to safeguard free and fair elections and ensure all American citizens can freely, securely, and easily exercise their right to vote. The SAVE Act represents a dangerous departure from fulfilling this duty, and as currently written, this bill will make it significantly harder, if not outright impossible, for millions of Republican, Democratic, and independent voters to register to vote and have their voices heard. Federal law already states that it is illegal for non-U.S. citizens to register to vote or cast a ballot in a federal election (18 U.S. C. § 1015). It’s an existing crime that is punishable by up to five years in prison. Election officials already use extensive state and federal data, including citizenship data, to verify an individual’s eligibility to cast a ballot. Introduction of the SAVE Act is the most recent example of a string of schemes to make voting more difficult for citizens, while hiding behind a thin veil of disinformation promoting false narratives of wide-spread voter fraud. Even President Trump’s Presidential Advisory Committee on Election Integrity was disbanded after it was not able to find evidence of widespread voter fraud in U.S. elections. Despite overwhelming evidence attesting to the integrity of federal elections, many Americans continue to voice concerns about our elections – we encourage Congress to be receptive to those concerns, but it must do so responsibly and constitutionally. Instead of proceeding with this dangerous bill, Congress should take actions that will strengthen our elections and ensure that all eligible voters have access to the ballot box. Please vote NO. Thanks.
