Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE. We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

We're just going to let this last one speak for itself: "We will continue our work to protect LGBTQIA+ New Jerseyans from discrimination, and we will not hesitate to hold violators of the law accountable." 3/ #NewJersey #NJ #LGBTQ #trans #transgender #queer #civilrights

Over a black and white photo of the Jersey City skyline: "We will continue our work to protect LGBTQIA+ New Jerseyans from discrimination, and we will not hesitate to hold violators of the law accountable."

To put it another way, they said in no uncertain terms: NO HATE IN THE GARDEN STATE. 2/ #NewJersey #NJ #LGBTQ #trans #transgender #queer #civilrights @stateofnewjersey.bsky.social

Over a blue-tinted photo of the Pine Barrens: "These protections apply to people working or living in New Jersey, as well as people attending schools, visiting health care facilities, accessing government services, interacting with police departments, and more. These protections mean that it is unlawful to discriminate against someone because they are transgender, nonbinary, or gender non-conforming."

Over a purple tinted photo of the Steel Pier in Atlantic City: "Under the LAD, employers, housing providers, and places open to the public cannot treat people differently based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or other protected characteristics."

Over a pink-tinted photo of Liberty State Park: "The LAD also requires employers, housing providers, and places of public accommodation to proactively address and respond to harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and other protected characteristics."

Over a light-blue tinted photo of New Brunswick: "And critically, the LAD prohibits schools from discriminating against students based on a protected characteristic; every student in New Jersey has a right to a learning environment free from discrimination, bias, and harassment."

The #NJ Division of #CivilRights just made it unequivocally clear: anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination is an affront to the Garden State's values and our Law Against Discrimination is in full force — no matter what the federal government has to say. 1/ #NewJersey #LGBTQ #trans #transgender #queer

Over a red-tinted photo of the statehouse in Trenton: "New Jersey will not waver in our commitment to enforcing our state’s civil rights laws and combating discrimination and bias-based harassment based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. State on Protecting LGBTQIA+ New Jerseyans from Discrimination (January 2025), NJ Division on Civil Rights."

Over an orange-tinted photo of Convention Hall in Asbury Park: "Every New Jerseyan has the right to live free from discrimination and harassment. Discrimination against the LGBTQIA+ community is an affront to our values, and it violates our state’s civil rights laws, plain and simple."

Over a yellow-tinted photo of Camden: "The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD), our state’s landmark civil rights law, remains in full force regardless of the federal government’s actions."

Over a green-tinted photo of the Newark skyline: "The LAD expressly prohibits New Jersey employers, housing providers, and places of public accommodation—that is, places open to the public—from discriminating based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and other protected characteristics."

The new "sex and gender" executive order does nothing but make trans people's lives more difficult than they already are. Trans prisoners will be raped more, trans federal employees will be discriminated against more, and trans travelers will be subject to unneeded hassle. For nothing.

The most powerful words you can say right now to these fascist bastards is: "No, make me." They cannot actually be everywhere and enforce their fascist policies. They rely on fear to do the job of governing for them. By refusing to comply, you make their means of compliance ineffective.

If you’re waiting for a charismatic leader to step up and fix everything, get used to waiting. There’s no mythical rescuer coming. There’s just all of us and the daily work of supporting our communities. Find a local org, get involved, help the people around you. That’s the only answer.
