SCOOP: The Department of Health and Human Services has been using the term “sex-rejecting procedures” to describe gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary individuals. The term is not clinical or medical. It comes from a Christian Right group. www.importantcontext.news/p/hhs-is-usi...

HHS Has Been Using Anti-Trans Language From a Christian Right Think Tank

The department refers to gender-affirming care as “sex-denying procedures,” a term coined by the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

A newborn in Minneapolis hadn’t eaten for a day and a half. ICE agents took her mother when she went to work, trying to make money for diapers. Her 16-year-old and Bri, a local mother of two, saved that baby's life. @chabeli.bsky.social tells their story

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk

Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.

A noteworthy takeaway from tonight's Texas result is that the Republicans spent a metric truckload of money on this race. They spent millions more than the Democrats. The loss itself aside, this is a gigantic, flashing warning sign for the GOP's finances.

Remember when JD Vance said he creates stories to get the media to talk about what he wants them to talk about? Beating the drum constantly and eloquently about government overreach and fascism in our streets could be a way to move the polling numbers, I would think.

Minnesota's Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth made a Facebook post critical of an anti-ICE protest at a church, and got ratioed by her own daughter in the comments www.facebook.com/LisaforMN/po...

Lisa Demuth: The behavior we saw over the weekend with protestors disrupting church services over suspicion of political differences, is absolutely unacceptable.
Every leader should condemn this blatant attempt to stifle freedom of speech and religion.
Peaceful protest is a part of the foundation of our country -- shutting down a house of worship because you disagree with one of its leaders is not.

Shelisa Demuth: hey mom. let me remind you that your right to work and vote and marry the man you love as a Black woman was thanks to protests a lot like this one. and now look at the power you hold. it's only because of the dissent of those who came before you. injustice to anyone is injustice to everyone. you should be outraged. it's not supposed to be comfortable to challenge systems and make change. at least now you're paying attention.

If some of those states going any further with their MAGA-inspired senators, they might be more likely to lose the general election. But we haven’t really swept the Senate races in a long while. If it remains a 50/50 body, it will be two more years of Trump Terror.

Violence is too often sloppy; it spills over. Misogynists kill a lot of men, racists kill white people, ICE in its attacks on immigrants and anyone who looks like them just killed a white US citizen. When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail; when you're a gun everyone is a target.

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

“I’ve seen some inmates just sit there and cry. Some cry all day." The conditions abducted migrants are subjected to at Miami Federal Detention Center are so abhorrent men staged a protest by flooding a toilet. Authorities responded by assaulting them with rubber bullets and flash-bang grenades.

Nearly 50 men spent hours in a small holding cell asking for water, food and medication. Instead, officers dressed in riot gear sprayed the room with rubber bullets and launched “flash bang” grenades. The men had overflowed a toilet in protest, and the ground was covered in putrid water. Smoke filled the air. Loud “booms” rang in their ears. Some men began to cry. Officers handcuffed them with zip-ties that cut into their wrists.
