I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

They have robbed millions of Americans of life saving services and research to enrich the wealthy, empower the ICE Gestapo to disappear our neighbors, and build concentration camps in every state

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Surprise surprise. A week after Sarah McBride gives cover fire for throwing trans people under the bus, some Dems are privately indicating they’ll capitulate on trans youth healthcare and citing the pseudoscientific Cass Report literally drafted in consultation with hate groups.

A meme featuring a massive sandstorm photoshopped with the face of a Shiba Inu dog sweeping over a city. The top text reads "THE SUPREME COURT" and the bottom text reads "A THRIVING MODERN SOCIETY," implying the Supreme Court is about to disrupt or overwhelm society.

So just to recap: - Parents can force schools to erase LGBTQ+ existence because ??? - The Court's opinion on birthright citizenship is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. - We're reverting back to the Articles of Confederation ig ??? Except our population is now 340 million and every court might be its own country.

In the same week, SCOTUS decided that defendants need to file their own suits to defend their birthright citizenship, and gutted due process for immigrants and those perceived to be immigrants to keep them from being kidnapped and sent to a 3rd party country.

Everyone running for public office needs to unequivocally say whether they support Trump’s attacks on Iran — attacks which put hundreds of millions of lives at risk. My answer is an unequivocal NO and there’s no excuse for a candidate to say anything different.

It’s curious that the people that insisted SCOTUS would never overturn Roe v Wade and abortion rights advocates claiming otherwise were alarmists, are now the same people insisting that LGBTIQ activists’ legal strategies have been too “aggressive” in advocating for the rights of transgender people.

"It absolves the reader of the responsibility of solidarity and recasts a human rights crisis as a self-inflicted wound. It allows powerful institutions and individuals to maintain a veneer of intellectual seriousness while abandoning a vulnerable minority to a campaign of eliminationist politics."

I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people. Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.

It's incredibly important now that we protect gender affirming care in states without bans, and fight back against bans where they've already passed. Expect to see new anti trans healthcare bills in the next legislative cycle in your state.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha. Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children. Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.

MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT
Islam's holiest day is marred by grief and peril as Gaza marks Eid al-Adha
Rather than the ritual sacrifice of a lamb, a Palestinian man told NBC News, "We sacrifice the blood of martyrs. We sacrifice our sons, our daughters, and our mothers."

"This is not an Eid of joy; it is an Eid of mourning and death," Ahmed Darwish, displaced from Rafah to west Khan Younis, told NBC News as he stood beside the graves. "Our children and women are in pieces.
Instead of sacrificing animals, we collected body parts this morning."
On Eid, Israeli strikes continued as families wept by the bodies of their loved ones, killed before celebrations could begin.
Reda Abdel Rahim Eljara told an NBC News team that Israeli air strikes had already killed her husband and one of her sons. On the first day of Eid al-Adha, she lost two more sons and her daughter-in-law.

Umm Ahmad Al-Qatati said her son, Omar, 11, was shot as he left his tent to shower and get ready for a visit to see his father.
"He was so excited for Eid morning, but they sent him to the morgue instead," she said. "Instead of celebrating Eid, he went to be with his Lord."
