THIS. 1. Political beliefs are a choice, not a type of person. No one is born a Nazi or a Republican or a Zionist. 2. Political beliefs can be harmful; identities aren't. No one has ever been harmed by me being trans or Jewish or my wife being Black. But people ARE harmed if I become a Zionist.

Obviously it's important to keep an eye on this as things develop, but it's looking like if you're trans and want an accurate, updated passport, the window to get that done is about to open. Even if you have no immediate plans to leave the country, this ID's importance can't be overstated.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Too many people fail to understand the role poverty plays in chronic illness. Money can’t buy health or happiness, but a lack of money can make your health worse & life harder. Universal healthcare & basic income would do more to create a healthier society than all the “wellness” in the world.

Democrats have largely held solid on transgender rights in recent years in terms of actual votes taken. There is a hugely financed movement trying to get them to stop, trying to build pillars to allow them to throw us under the bus. Interviews like this from Sarah McBride are in service to that.

The reason we find Sarah @mcbride.house.gov so frustrating is that the gay rights movement has been dragging people like her behind it for decades - the white moderate suddenly realizing they're a minority, begging the rest of us to settle for an absence of tension instead of the presence of justice

"But behind the nonsense lies a chilling truth: the vision advanced by Trump and those he’s empowered is not one of inclusion gone too far. It’s a world where transgender people are denied care, visibility, and existence. “Transgender for nobody” is closer to the goal." -- @erininthemorning.com

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

1. Trump has promised harsher ICE crackdowns on Truth Social. He blamed transgender people as the reason such crackdowns must happen. Particularly, he used the phrase "transgender for everybody," a phrase he has increasingly used to justify anything he wants. Subscribe to support our journalism.
