Don't give in to the lies. Don't give in to the fear. The current insanity is NOT normal. The institutional cruelty is wrong. Trans rights are human rights. Reject the patriarchy. LGBTQIANB+ rights are human rights. Black lives matter. No discrimination.

I seriously worry about Trump inciting his fanatical maga followers to attack Democrats, the way the Hutus fomented a genocide of the Tutsi population of Rwanda in 1994.

Senator Grassley's new version of the budget bill would limit the power of judges to block President Trump's unconstitutional actions. They're trying to sneak this in behind our backs — but we're not backing down.

US Senate Republicans seek to limit judges' power via Trump's tax-cut bill
U.S. Senate Republicans have added language to President Donald Trump's massive tax and spending bill that would restrict the ability of judges to block government policies they conclude are unlawful.

I wouldn't characterize their attitude as "comfortable". Did Padilla look comfortable while they had his face mashed into the ground and his arm twisted up behind his back? I think "desperate" or "resolved" or "brave" are more apt descriptions of their actions.

Noem and her agents knew that was Senator Alex Padilla. "I didn't know" is Noem's standard answer when she is caught doing something immoral, or illegal.

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla. Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

Trump is targeting transgender people as a bone to throw to the MAGA base. Trump is hoping that his vicious supporters care more about persecuting trans people, than about the economy collapsing. "I may be broke, and jobless, but at least trans folks, who weren't hurting anyone, are suffering!"
