MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

ICE is flatly lying about this. There is a lengthy public video, and it’s plain to see that Lander did not assault anyone

I don't know if this needs to be said or not but "elected official assassinated in their home" is simply not a thing that happens in this country. 1825, 1889, 1893, 1973. Those are all the ones I can find, ever, before today.

Even though it's tiring, I think it's essential to consistently point out that this is illegal.

The Israelis are calling this a "preemptive" strike. Whether you agree or disagree with this attack, these are not - from what we know tonight - "preemptive" strikes. The Israelis are using that word for a reason. Read on. /1

I’m old enough to remember when Barack Obama stopped Iran’s nuclear program in its tracks, only for Donald Trump to tear up the deal and give them the green light to restart enriching uranium

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

This is how the Department of Homeland Security treats a senator who dares ask a question at the DHS Secretary's press conference.

THIS is what we need more of. If they are going to vilify the protestors, our elected officials need to be doing more things like going to El Salvador and getting thrown out of press briefings to illustrate just how authoritarian this administration is.

Don’t care if it’s just for optics and self-promotion, Democrats need to be doing this stuff a lot more. Republicans need to be confronted everywhere.

This is... not how any of this is supposed to work. The military needs to be non-political. Checking soldiers for their loyalty to the President is offensive.

On brand. Disaster relief will now be a personal favor from the President to communities that pledge loyalty. Be grateful if you're from a (relatively) non-disaster prone part of the country.

People fucking hate Project 2025. People can't stand Musk. People don't want tax cuts for rich assholes while they get kicked of Medicaid. No surprise, people also don't like a police state that raids schools + shoots protesters. Their program is neither populist nor popular. Keep protesting.

i understand the framing, which is about RFK jr lying to a senator to get senate approval but RFK jr also lied to the american public just completely unacceptable for a public official and senator bill cassidy is not the only one who should take action for being lied to

Unclear where this goes, but it’s clear how badly Trump WANTS the image of the US Military fighting protestors on the streets

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

You may not be in a position to fight the American Gestapo but you can take video of them, wave your middle finger at them, and show that Americans will not meekly surrender to them.

100% this. The point was never that Kilmar was innocent or couldn’t be punished for anything. I have no idea whether or not he’s done anything criminal. But he is back in the United States and the government will bear the burden of convincing a judge and jury what they think he’s done
