🗣️SB 153 is aimed at Ohioans’ 113-year-old right to amend our constitution without interference by Statehouse insiders. 🗳️This bill is a reaction to the 2023 ballot measures on abortion rights and marijuana legalization. ❌This proposal must be stopped. www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025...

I was just on NPR Member Station KCRW's "Press Play" where I fact check the Trump HHS Review targeting transgender healthcare. Listen to me speak here: www.kcrw.com/news/shows/p...

As if there aren't more important matters to attend to. People can barely get by day to day but sure let's go after the tiny fraction of the population who's trans!

Thousands of teachers and public education supporters are expected to rally in the evening at the Ohio Statehouse on May 1 to demonstrate against the state legislature's budget proposal that many say will slash public school funding. by Cole Behrens www.dispatch.com/story/news/e...

Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi left federal prison, but his case isn't over. His lawyer says the Trump administration's case against him is "laughable" and "unconstitutional."

President Trump called for the report in an executive order, titled "Protecting Children From Chemical and Surgical Mutilation."

They're going after Wikipedia now, who I'm sure will put up a fight. But I sadly expect continued operation for them and the Internet Archive to become hard to near-impossible in the US. New non-US infrastructure needs to form, existing people and orgs may need to move. archive.is/202504260856...

Trump administration has deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with no meaningful process and against the wishes of her father.

1. Rather than waiting for a funding threat, the state of Minnesota under AG Keith Ellison is going on offense, suing the Department of Justice for attempts to force states to discriminate against trans kids. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

International students had filed dozens of lawsuits after the government removed them from a database crucial for maintaining their legal status.

It’s not too late to show up, many protests are still getting started, and we’re already over 2 million+. Today has been incredible. Small towns across America doubled or even tripled their turnout compared to 4/5. Way to go! We never expected these small towns to show up with this kind of force!

My advice to all of my readers: WAIT to send in your passport update right now. As soon as we get class certification, which I will announce to all of my readers, that will be your time to rocket speed submit your passport applications. Right now, you should likely wait.

Another huge ruling! The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just DENIED the government's motion for a stay in the trans military ban case. The government CANNOT enforce it's ban on transgender people in the military still. BIG day for pro-transgender rulings.

1. Trump has officially defunded school lunches in Maine for kids and disabled adults because of transgender people. Trump is holding the funds hostage and will allow kids to go hungry unless Maine discriminates. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

A new law goes into effect today that will lift driver license suspensions because of unpaid debt, including unpaid court fines or fees. 👏 A person’s ability to pay should not determine whether they are free to drive. www.dispatch.com/story/news/2...

Attn: Trump stated, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!” Many have interpreted this as an indication that he or his allies are using knowledge of tariffs for personal financial gain. This raises serious concerns about insider trading and market manipulation.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

*sigh*

We just heard an "age verification" bill in Montana, and the argument for how it would work was exactly as @evangreer.bsky.social describes—anytime you want to access social media (or an online forum), you would have to scan your face & Artificial Intelligence would guess your age. Truly horrifying

Although most abortions remain illegal in Alabama, the decision allows doctors and advocacy groups to tell patients about abortion options in other states, and help with travel and other costs.

1. Montana Republicans have killed a bill that would have allowed voters to repeal the state's gay marriage ban. If SCOTUS ever overturned Obergefell like they did with Roe, gay couples could see their marriages ended forcefully. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.
