JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

This is a 5 alarm fire. They're going to pull down all publicly available data, studies, guidance, etc that involves LGBTQ people so when the worst happens to us, no one will know. They're actively trying to erase us. gizmodo.com/cdc-ordered-...

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws. Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism. We must stop him.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Love how the right has seemingly adopted a foreign policy tailor made to destroy the United States's position as a superpower And they don't realize it because they're literally too stupid to understand why we're strong in the first place

My lawyer hot take is that the lawyers defending the birthright citizenship EO should be driven from the practice. They shouldn't know a day's rest and should never get to practice law again.

In the space of half a day, the new administration has trashed the Constitution, subverted the independence of the DOJ, granted a broad amnesty to traitors, abandoned the global community on climate and public health, and launched a wide-ranging attack on minority rights.

Thanks so much to @gregggonsalves.bsky.social for organizing our Defending Public Health group, through which I’m proud to co-chair the health insurance working group. Through Defending Public Health, not only did we draft an open letter signed by 700+, but we sent thousands of letters to senators.

SCOTUS announces it will hear whether or not LGBTQ inclusive education is unconstitutional. Not great for LGBTQ people, and could be disastrous to teaching that we have a history and have existed alongside everyone else for centuries.

The American sheriff is a pre-modern holdover, a peculiar office with roots in medieval England. Today, many sheriffs exercise power with little oversight, an issue compounded by the rise of extremist ideologies in sheriff offices across the country. www.theunpopulist.net/p/the-patrim...

next time you hear an article scolding leftists and liberals for not understanding MAGA Trumpists, remember how they laughed at us while our cities were burning due to global warming that they caused. Most of us understand perfectly.
