Trump's State Department is denying accurate passports to all #trans & #intersex folks. The State Dept is accepting public comments for people to submit their concerns about the new passport policy. You can submit comments anonymously on the federal register website (all three links in this thread).

AOC speaks for me.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

This story looks familiar 👀 When the community is organized, ICE's plans don't live up to the hype. A few volunteers and a plan is all it takes to throw them off their script. So, who's ready for showtime? #defendandrecruit

Love, love, love what you all have been and are doing.

I wrote this bit that is entirely unrelated to current things

Dozens of Head Start programs, which provide childcare+preschool education to low-income children, have been unable to access previously approved fed funding after Trump's funding freeze-putting some programs at risk of having to close their doors in the coming days www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

This is being broadcast on YouTube here:

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Clearly inspired by @prisonculture.bsky.social @miamingus.bsky.social & others! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hey folks! These have been updated for ICE, and there’s a Spanish language version! @unraveledpress.com @gwensnyder.bsky.social @melbuer.bsky.social

From a public statement sent out by the Chicago Teachers Union today in response to Trump’s policy threats.

Despite patriarchy's persistence, growing numbers of men believe they have it worse off than women. And, new research shows this "male victimhood" ideology is most common among men who aren't facing hardship. Which means what they're really feeling is status loss. 1/ www.psypost.org/male-victimh...

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*
