Fascinating how this overlaps with the next scheduled protest.

Screenshot of the title of a news article from WSLS on 04/15/2025.
It reads, "Governor Youngkin declares April 13th through 19th as Virginia Screen-Free Week."

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women. Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

Did you keep your maiden name after marriage? Does your birth certificate match your current legal name? Do you have a valid U.S. passport? If you answered no to any of these questions, you won’t be able to register to vote under the Republican SAVE Act.

"Pressed for evidence against Mahmoud Khalil, the government cites its power to deport people for beliefs" apnews.com/article/mahm... Wait, what?!

Facing a deadline from an immigration judge to turn over evidence for its attempted deportation of Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil, the federal government has instead submitted a brief memo, signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, citing the Trump administration’s authority to expel noncitizens whose presence in the country damages U.S. foreign policy interests.

The two-page memo, which was obtained by The Associated Press, does not allege any criminal conduct by Khalil, a legal permanent U.S. resident and graduate student who served as spokesperson for campus activists last year during large demonstrations against Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and the war in Gaza.

Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs.

He said that while Khalil’s activities were “otherwise lawful,” letting him remain in the country would undermine “U.S. policy to combat anti-Semitism around the world and in the United States, in addition to efforts to protect Jewish students from harassment and violence in the United States.”

When people act like MeToo is just a footnote of what’s happening, they’re wrong—it’s part and parcel of the whole conservative package. Sexual violence is a pillar of who they are. The glorification of abuse extends to all of their policies and makes up their strongest identity

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

lgbtqnation.com

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation

The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

Are your Congressional reps refusing to hold town halls? Tim Walz will come to your district and meet with residents instead.

Facebook post from Gov Tim Walz: "That’s a shame. If your Republican representative won’t meet with you because their agenda is so unpopular, maybe a Democrat will.

Hell, maybe I will. If your congressman refuses to meet, I’ll come host an event in their district to help local Democrats beat ‘em."
