Hello friends and loved ones. I am delinquent in replies to very many of you because I have been extremely depressed and anxious and I am very sorry.

MoveOn, Indivisible, Our Revolution, and 6 Democrats have called on Chuck Schumer to step aside as leader. So we asked all 40 Democratic senators who didn’t cave to Republicans if they still think Schumer is the right leader. Here's what they said. @andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

INBOX: The Minnesota Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in Cooper v. USA Powerlifting, affirming that transgender athletes have the right to compete in sports without discrimination under the Minnesota Human Rights Act.
Minnesota Supreme Court Affirms Trans Inclusion in Sports in Landmark Decision

ST PAUL, MN – Today, the Minnesota Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in Cooper v. USA Powerlifting, affirming that transgender athletes have the right to compete in sports without discrimination under the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA). The decision also clarified the harmful precedent set in Goins v. West Group only applies in the employment context, and the court did not consider whether to overturn Goins because Cooper’s case is not an employment case. 

“This ruling sends a clear and powerful message: transgender people have a right to enjoy public spaces in Minnesota like sporting events, restaurants, and movie theaters, free from targeted discrimination,” said Jess Braverman, Legal Director at Gender Justice. “This decision is a historic victory for fairness, equity, and the fundamental rights of all Minnesotans.”This ruling clarifies that all public accommodations in Minnesota, including sports organizations, must ensure their policies comply with Minnesota’s anti-discrimination laws. The implications of this decision extend well beyond sports to other facets of public life. This ruling reinforces the principle that every person deserves equal access to opportunities and spaces where they can thrive and belong.

“While we celebrate this victory, we remain vigilant,” added Braverman. “Across the country, anti-trans legislation and legal battles continue to threaten the rights and freedom of trans people. We will continue to fight for a world where everyone can compete, belong, and thrive without fear of discrimination.”

JayCee Cooper is represented by Gender Justice, Nichols Kaster PLLP, Schlesinger PLLC, and Premo Frank.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

Assuming trans people's physiology based on our birth certificates is potentially unsafe
Extract of text saying "The clinical research team found that troponin levels shifted towards the affirmed gender after 12 months of hormone therapy.

Troponin decreased in transgender women to a level not statistically different from cisgender women, but which was 78% lower than in cisgender men.

In transgender men, troponin increased to the range of cisgender men and became roughly seven times higher than in cisgender women"

yeah, the thing is you don't even have to bring morals into it it's just an obvious practical problem that society-warping amounts of power should not be concentrated at the whims of a single individual and the simplest and best way to solve that problem is to disallow anyone from having that power

Oak Park resident Scott Sakiyama reports feds pointed weapons at him across from an elementary school today. They then arrested him and took him to Broadview. While in custody, he saw agents texting in a group chat called "Chiraq Team 2." Full testimony: www.facebook.com/share/p/1GqB...
This morning masked ICE agents pulled me out of my car at gun-point, threw me in the back of a van and took me to their facility in Broadview. I had been following the van down Harvard honking my horn and blowing a whistle to alert the community that ICE was in the neighborhood.

Just across from Lincoln elementary school, where my daughter is in second grade, they jumped out of their van with guns drawn and threatened to smash my windows.

They removed me from my car and drove me to Broadview.

They tried to determine if I was an American citizen (I am). After sitting handcuffed in the van for about 30 minutes, they issued me a citation for "impeding" them, claiming I cut them off (which is not true). They then drove me back to my car. While in their van, I could see they were receiving text messages that were part of a group chat called "Chiraq Team 2." They also stated they also spoke to someone on their phone saying they were going to meet someone else near where they were dropping me off, and that they were going to proceed to conduct enforcement activities with that person.

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

It’s almost like when you don’t have a rabidly trans-hostile media ecosystem, people generally support human rights. lens.monash.edu/@politics-so...
A poll, commissioned by Equality Australia in the first quarter of 2025, found that:
• 86% agree or strongly agree that government and opposition should not politicise trans issues for political gain
• 89% agree or strongly agree that LGBT people deserve to live with dignity and respect
• 91% agree or strongly agree that trans people should have the freedom and choice to live their lives in the way that makes them happy
• 81% agree of strongly agree that trans people deserve the same rights and protections as other
Australians.

Starmer and the Met Chief Constable interfered in this case. That's a major red flag and public scandal, abuse of public office, and a collapse of the rule of law. When transphobes from Graham Linehan to JK Rowling and others are effectively granted immunity that's a problem.

I mean, a reporter thinks that because the X algorithm, which is programmed to be antisemitic and pro-fascist, didn’t promote a massive, nationwide protest against fascism, it therefore came from nowhere and has opaque motivations? It’s practically a thought-terminating cliché at this point.

Maybe this is an artifact of Elon's stewardship of this website, but the "No Kings" stuff — the language, the iconography, even the notion that Trump wants to be a *monarch* — is just totally foreign to me. I don't know where it comes from. Definitely not here.

Grijalva not being sworn in means she doesn’t have access to funds as a member of Congress, which means she can’t help her constituents. She has repeated this multiple times and Mike Johnson knows this but he’s going to keep lying about it anyway. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/a...
The delay is impacting Grijalva and her constituents here in ordinary but important ways. Her office has no money because running it would require a congressional allowance and access to taxpayer funds, which she does not have. She can't log on to her government computer because she doesn't have the right password, and she has to wait in line with tourists to access the U.S. Capitol.
"I don't have a budget. The budget is a big deal," Grijalva told MSNBC on Friday. "I actually had people reach out and say, 'I went to your dad's office and nobody's there, because that office was closed on the date of my election, so those services are done."
