We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation
The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

Remember last time Trump was president and unmarked vans swept up people off the street and he tried to get the military to use force against protesters? If you think the administration's vindictive defiance will stop with immigrants, you're naive. Gift link: wapo.st/43Ssl2Q

The driving philosophy of the Trump administration is white male supremacy. It’s not just that they don’t believe in bigotry or prejudice or racism, but if you’re anything but a straight white man, your contributions are false, awarded to you because of your identity, and must be deleted.

If Trump can invoke the wartime law that was used to detain the Japanese in camps because he feels like it when we're not at war, he can declare martial law any time he wants, he can (and is) suspend law anytime he wants. If he can have a permanent resident abucted, he can have anyone abducted.

Always an excuse. Republicans seize power and use it, Democrats patiently explain that they need the presidency and the House and 70 seats in the Senate, but even if they had that unicorn they would still not want to anger their "friends on the other side of the aisle" by actually doing anything.
