"Trans" people are PEOPLE!!! They don't know what it is to be me and I don't know what it is to be trans. Always thought (served) we are ALL important, worthy, and American citizens who should be afforded all the protections of the US Constitution. ACLU...Please help!!!

There is an effective way to shut this madness down. Trump v United States (US), 603 U.S. ___ (2024). “The case involves former President Donald Trump, who was indicted on four counts for conduct that occurred during his presidency following the November 2020 election.

The indictment alleged that Trump conspired to overturn the election by spreading knowingly false claims of election fraud. Trump moved to dismiss the indictment based on Presidential immunity, arguing that a President has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for

actions performed within his official responsibilities. The District Court denied Trump’s motion to dismiss, holding that former Presidents do not possess federal criminal immunity for any acts. The D.C. Circuit affirmed this decision. The Supreme Court of the United States held

that under the constitutional structure of separated powers, a former President is entitled to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. He is also entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all

his official acts. However, there is no immunity for unofficial acts”.
Bundy v Stommel, 168 F. App’x 870, 2006. “…The district court dismissed Mr. Bundy’s complaint as legally frivolous under 28 U.S.C. 1915A, and we reverse…But given Mr. Bundy’s constitutionally protected liberty

interest (unwanted administration of psychotropic medication)…we cannot treat such an argument as frivolous.”
Trump is assuming that this decision by the SCOTUS is a blanket immunity of all official acts. It seems to me that the best way to challenge this

We need to stand up and fight this plutocratic autocracy that is running rough shod over our civil rights. This is America, the land of the “free”. You can do what you like and be whoever you want to be. You can love whoever you want to love. This regime thinks that trans people are the enemy.

Where is ACLU in helping with the protests? We badly need your expertise and experience.

The fuck? You haven't been paying attention. They've held multiple calls guiding people on what to do in this situation, and they are in the courts fighting for us, which is their absolute best and most effective use of their time.

This concerns me so much, because if they can't get passports, they aren't able to leave the country.

For a bunch of people who very vocally don’t want us here, they’re making it really hard to leave:

It almost feels like the only place they want us to go is the afterlife.

Honestly, I really think that Republicans are trying to speed up the Rapture by destroying the planet, etc faster. I think as religious zealots, they actually believe they're in the right. Wish I could of something to give them that psychic 2x4. They need a light bulb punch to the face.

Have you seen the change in language to house bill 3399 in Texas? Filed 2/26/2025. ‘Children’ has been crossed out and replaced with ‘people’. Texas said it was only about children and adults could do what they want, but this is the path to make being transgender illegal and impossible in that state

I get what you are saying, but not all trans people are women, lol.

The sign was for the women’s bathroom, hence I referred to trans women specifically
