Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is right: Trans and gender-expansive youth are not political pawns. Now, more than ever, we must show up for trans kids and their families.

A White House staffer trying to start a petty social media fight the day that a big scandal breaks is a distraction. The Supreme Court ruling to take people's healthcare away is not a distraction. Hope that clears things up for any senators who might be confused.

I don't know what to say about the supreme court ruling except that when I see trans girls get to have a girlhood, I'm besides myself with joy and that I meet so many trans people who were made homeless as children by bigoted parents and that trans kids deserve medical care and social acceptance

Supreme Court rules Tennessee can deny gender-affirming care to minors. Vergogna! By @marciej.bsky.social www.wonkette.com/p/supreme-co...

Once again, Donald Trump’s Supreme Court has inserted itself between patients and health care providers. This decision puts political ideology over the freedom and judgment of patients, parents, and providers. As a result, the court has denied access to what is often lifesaving health care. 1/2

What an awful ruling. Because of this rogue Supreme Court, trans kids will lose access to life-affirming and life-saving care. This decision does not protect children, it hurts them.

Supreme Court said today that courts are not experts and should defer to legislatures on medical care for trans youth ... and then Justice Thomas wrote multiple pages on the merits of medical care for trans youth.

NEW: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a 2021 censorship law can't be used to ban teaching about race and gender in Oklahoma's higher education institutions. This is a win for academic freedom and the First Amendment.

There's a debate about if Lander getting arrested was a stunt? Of course it was a stunt, and it was a good one. He's got the race's best photo op, he raised awareness that they will arrest anyone without a warrant, and most importantly he put his body on the line to do good. Nothing wrong there.

Another day, another attack... Trump's Dept of Energy is trying to rescind rules that date back to Section 504, the first big modern US disability rights statute. This link from @dredf.bsky.social describes how to submit a comment against it. Please comment before midnight tonight!

So basically they’re opening the door to discrimination. The staff can potentially refuse to treat patients & the VA can likely do so when hiring based on, race, sex, disability, political affiliation, etc. It doesn’t say it’s happening but it’s alarming that it could. Why else remove protection?

They told Minnesotans to stay home. After the murder of Speaker Hortman and her husband—and the failed attempts on Senator Hoffman and his wife—fear was the official message. But the people came anyway. In defiance. In grief. In purpose. This was the #NoKings rally in MN. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky

Sources are saying that Trump is raging about the poor turnout for his birthday party. He also is disappointed in the parade itself. All during the parade, Trump had a pouting, angry, disgusted look on his face revealing his frustration with the entire event.

I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning. This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Can report a strong turnout at our local No Kings rally. Lots of American flag waving and supportive horn honking. Many homemade signs, some indignant, some witty. One that seemed particularly McLean appropriate: “If only Kamala had won, we’d all be at brunch.”

And Rufo saying THIS WEEK that they needed to use unmarked vans to take progressive leaders off the streets normalizes the violent unaccountability. This is exactly what he’s been trying to incite.

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

I am heartbroken beyond words that Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark have died in a violent and politically motivated shooting. Melissa was an exceptional public servant. She was smart and funny and so dedicated to making Minnesota work better for all of us.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Can’t believe we’ve lost Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. She was a consummate Speaker who led her caucus brilliantly and achieved so much for Minnesota. I’ve campaigned with Melissa throughout the state and was forever impressed by her levelheaded, yet passionate, leadership. (1/2)
