🚨🚨🚨 The Supreme Court has just allowed Trump to strip as many as 350,000 people of legal status, effectively IMMEDIATELY. Every Venezuelan granted TPS through the July 31, 2023 designation has been rendered undocumented as of now, significantly increasing the undocumented population.

It's wildly unappreciated how insanely rushed this GOP megabill is. They're making major health care policy changes through private negotiations over two weekend days with no hearings, expert analysis, or public insight. www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-tak...

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Think of this for a moment: If the strike were called tomorrow, how many of you would be ready to notify your employer that you will not be working until the strike demands are met? If we don’t have 11 million of you able and ready to do this, it won’t make the impact we want.

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.

1. The Supreme Court has allowed a military ban that calls transgender people inherently "dishonorable" to go into effect. This is a devastating ruling that opens the door for much worse. I detail what this means for trans servicemembers in my latest. Subscribe to support my journalism.

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

In only a few months, we've rolled back the clock on measles eradication by more than three decades. The last time we hit this benchmark in 1990, 9 children died. It took ten more years and intensive vaccination efforts after that to declare it eliminated. That was 25 years ago.
