Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

I think we’ll get a ban on adult trans healthcare under this UK government. I think it’ll probably happen piecemeal with bans on GPs supporting us and bans on private care, followed by a de facto ban on new patients in the NHS.

Both Elon Musk and Christian nationalists call empathy "toxic," "suicidal," and even "satanic." But what they're really worried about is that empathy is feminine. And in MAGA, a woman is the worst thing a person can be. An analysis. www.salon.com/2025/04/11/m...

ICE dresses like bank robbers in house clothes and ski masks to kidnap people in broad daylight. Meanwhile, RW extremists dress like ICE officers, largely to do the same. This is a dangerous game of whose-who. Would you surrender yourself to someone potentially impersonating law enforcement?

1. You may have heard about the anti-trans fencer kneeling and conceding to a trans opponent. Now, news has emerged that she collected a $5,000 prize for doing so, while saying her decision will "destroy her life." She also called her kneeling "god's will." Subscribe to support our journalism.

so, stephanie turner—the fencer who took a knee & went on a media tour about it—cost a trans girl the chance to participate in society & did it for $5,000 cash, in addition to, i assume, paid speaking gigs with folks like riley gaines. this is grifting. turner is a grifter. also a garbage person.

This story gets so much worse. The trans woman who she refused to fence only finished in 24th place. Stephanie, the forfeiter, also beat multiple cis men in a regional match just one week earlier! And conservatives just paid her $5k for her kneel. Why is nobody talking about this?
