Everyone who subs to Wa Post needs to cancel immediately if they haven't already. While you're at it, boycott Twitch, Amazon, Audible, Whole Foods, Zappos, AirBNB, IMDb, Nextdoor...Power to the People and fuck Bezos' pro-Russia fashy propaganda.

Love to see it ✊🏽💃🏼🪩 〰️AdminJenn

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

Judge Reyes: EO 14183 adopts the definitions of a separate executive order called Defending Women from Gender Ideology, Extremism and Restoring biological Truth to the federal government. And that EO states, "sex shall refer to an individual's immutable biological classification as either male or female." And it states that, "It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female." Do you see that or do you remember that?
Jason C. Lynch: will take the court's word for it.
Judge Reyes: You understand, as a matter of biology, it's just incorrect that there are only two sexes, right?
Jason C. Lynch: Do I understand that to be incorrect as a biological matter?
Judge Reyes: Yes. It is incorrect as a biological matter. You understand that, right?
Jason C. Lynch: I don't understand that to be incorrect.
Judge Reyes: You understand that not everyone has an xx or an xy chromosome, right?
Jason C. Lynch: Honestly, no, I don't.
Judge Reyes: It's actually kind of a really important point because this executive order is premised on an assertion that's not biologically correct. There are anywhere near about 30 different intersex examples. So someone who does not have just xx or xy chromosome is not just male or female. They're intersex. And there are over 30 potential different intersex examples. We've got genetic differences. We have people with xxx chromosomes. We have androgen insensitivity, xy genetically, that may have female external sex characteristics and internally have testes. There's a five alpha reductase deficiency that causes changes in testosterone metabolism, xy that may have female external genitalia or ambiguous genitalia.
The point being, and I'm happy to have you guys brief this more if you want, but I'm telling you right now that there are people who are neither male or female. And so the premise of the executive order is just incorrect.

Voting with my money has been the first time I've felt any type of control or power since the fascist got into office. I see it working. How do we convince others to do the same? How do we find other resources that were once as convenient as amazon? Or create them?

Trump's authoritarian power grabs in his first two weeks have already shown he will continue to violate the constitution and federal law, perhaps at a pace quicker than his first term. And the cowardly Republicans in Congress have been pathetically silent. #ResistTrump

Remember how Trump said he "sent the military in and opened up the water flow" in CA? It appears he forced the Army Corps to just drain reservoirs into recently flooded farmland without telling local farmers or leaders. “In 25 years, I’ve never seen anything like this.” sjvwater.org/decision-to-...

It’s easier not to be informed about what’s happening in America. We’re being bombarded daily with the Ass-in-Chief’s antics. Please stay informed. This is a once in a generation turning point for all of us. We cannot afford to lose our family, communities and country.

A South Carolina rabbi gave a speech on Holocaust Remembrance Day that was cut from the rebroadcast of the event. His crime? He made "political statements" at a Holocaust memorial, specifically about anti-migrant and anti-trans policies from today's Republican Party. www.jta.org/2025/01/31/p...

If we are boycotting Trader Joe's, Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, etc, where do we grocery shop? This is an opportunity to build up our local economy and support immigrant families. We shop at our Asian, Indian, Latino, Middle Eastern, and Ukrainian Markets. And the produce is fresher.
