Brave, courageous, powerful statement from Abrego Garcia's wife, Jennifer. Watch, cry a little, share and let's keep fighting everyone.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

1. Planned Parenthood of Arizona has "paused" gender affirming care for transgender adults. It appears to be a case of massive over compliance. This kind of move could threaten the majority of trans people's medication in the US. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Is this who we are? 😳🇺🇸

This. I fear.

(1) If it’s a statutory challenge: convince Congress to pass a law. (2) If it’s a constitutional challenge: try to amend the Constitution. (3) If that fails: rally voters to elect politicians to do (1) and/or (2). (4) If that also fails: question whether he is wildly popular.

Well I feel at ease.

The way people act like they won’t actually cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security gives similar vibes to when they acted like they wouldn’t actually overturn Roe Stop underestimating them

🚨ACTION ALERT🚨 Stop HB 267! This bill bans trans folks from sports & the correct restrooms/locker rooms, harming students instead of protecting them. Tell your House Rep to oppose this discrimination! 🏳️‍⚧️ Take action now: secure.everyaction.com/kNbAJGT0YEuE...

Crucial thing you must do right now is strengthen and expand your community. Serve together. Try a new activity. See each other in person. Over on the other site I am continually struck by how the rabid intensity does not actually reflect community or connection. Only way we get through this.

this is genuinely embarrassing. But I guess they can't hire a Black cultural critic to write about the extremely Black half-time show because that would be DEI or whatever

this is the sort of thing you post when you’re ramping up to defying lawful court orders

Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care. The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care. This one at UVA Hospital.

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them. It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests. I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights. Find the EO here: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Major news: Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth. It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle" I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades. Shameful.

I’m A LOT more worried about the fact that Trump just released 23 anti-abortion terrorists and basically said that the DOJ will not enforce the FACE Act (which made violence against abortion clinics a federal crime) than I am about them removing a do-nothing website. Share ineedana.com instead

This is going to put people in danger. The FACE Act is supposed to protect patients, family, clinic staff & escorts. Despite what the new administration says, it does not limit 1st amendment speech and no one is convicted of violating it for peacefully praying outside a clinic 🙄

Don’t ever be lulled into thinking that ‘pro-choice’ states are immune from doing scary shit. And boy oh boy is this story scary. Excerpted from my newsletter:

This was courageous, and what we should strive for in the coming years: speaking truth to power, even when it is not at all welcome, and letting those in harm's way know that they are not alone. Now is the time for us to love and protect each other fiercely ❤💪

BREAKING: Chelsea Women have agreed to terms with the San Diego Wave for the transfer of USWNT defender Naomi Girma, sources tell @meglinehan.com. The 24-year-old is now set to become the first player to earn a transfer fee worth more than $1 million. Read: www.nytimes.com/athletic/606...

Are you kidding me? We all know what Elon Musk's "controversial hand gesture" was.

And so it begins

I am not a man. Evan Urquhart is not a woman. No matter what Trump's government said. So much of what Trump wants to do targeting trans people will depend on cisgender people to enforce his policies and police our bodies and spaces we exist in. So much can be stopped by people refusing to do so.

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means. "He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this: Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women www.propublica.org/article/geor...
