Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Thank you to Senate Democrats for unifying in opposition to Republicans’ scheme to punish working families. Democrats played procedural hardball and spent hours on the floor debating overnight, filing close to 100 amendments and forcing votes on 23 of them.

The more they dismantle systems designed to protect people, the more this plan becomes a reality.

It's simple: Discussions about trans youth's health care belong between them, their families, and their doctors. Not the government.

Protests happen when they happen, if you can only show up on certain days show up on those days, if no protest is available on your dates then organize one, open your own spaces. Protests need to be daily, but not everyone is expected to show up daily. Do what you can when you can. Just show up.

Good! Keep using your power!

NEW: San Francisco AIDS Foundation leads a group of nonprofits suing Trump and others over anti-trans, anti-diversity EOs. @lambdalegal.bsky.social is representing the groups, who are seeking to have the orders and efforts to implement them declared "unlawful and unconstitutional."

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

“Within each one of us there is some piece of humanness that knows we are not being served by the machine which orchestrates crisis after crisis and is grinding all our futures into dust.” —Audre Lorde

This judge (Reyes) calling the anti-trans soldiers EO “unadulterated animus” is dead on.

Los Angeles peeps—spread the word about ICE. We won’t know for sure until it happens, but better safe than sorry. Be prepared.

1. After a federal judge ruled that websites containing LGBTQ+ information at the CDC must be restored, the Trump administration did so... but then also added snide and incorrect anti-trans headers to them. The latest from new EITM writer S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Hundreds of people have gathered outside Long Beach City Hall to protest President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. We'll have more details soon at LBPost.com

Ready to go to the protest at city hall! #resist #organize #protest

We need to remember what we’re capable of. Every day let your mind be blown by something you do, read, listen to, or create. That is one way we get through this—to remain open to everything that is wondrous in the world. www.marytrump.org/p/what-it-co...

Gavin Kliger posted on substack two days ago that he joined DOGE because he was inspired by a nazi. Now he has access to some of the most sensitive taxpayer data at the IRS.

If you read one thing today read our latest piece we just posted. This one is a very important one. Please consider reading and sharing it with your friends, family, and neighbors. And as always, please share your thoughts and ideas. I am also going to post all of the text here as a thread. 1/

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

BREAKING On Monday, Popular Information broke the news that the NIH had frozen virtually all grant funding in violation of 2 federal court orders On Wednesday, NIH leadership distributed a memo, acknowledging that its funding freeze was illegal and directing staff to resume issuing grants.

Ken Klipperstein leaked full passport guidance for trans people: - X markers will be a focal point - Existing unexpired passports will remain good - No guidance on confiscation, but it doesn’t seem like they will - Renewals less clear but it looks like they will use “a preponderance of evidence”

Union square is full of people protesting for trans youth. Over for 4000 in attendance

NEW: We sent a letter to the Trump administration demanding access to immigrants detained at Guantánamo Bay and answers about plans to expand immigration detention there. The government cannot use Guantánamo as a legal black hole to violate immigrants' rights.

Major breaking trans news: The ACLU has launched a lawsuit on behalf of 7 transgender people affected by Trump’s passport ban. Incredible filing. The Trump admin is now swarmed with lawsuits over discriminatory and illegal executive orders.

New — Children's Hospital LA said in an internal memo Wednesday that its pause on gender-affirming care for under-19s is only for puberty blockers, HRT, and surgeries. A source relays a rumor that despite the memo "there was no coordination with anyone on their gender team." w/ @ryan.staticnoi.se

ELON IS ALLOWED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NOT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OR STUDENTS & PARENTS. I WILL BE BACK.

BREAKING: Elon Musk and Donald Trump have officially started shutting down the Department of Education! GOP traitors are physically blocking members of Congress from entering the building—this is a full-on takeover of our education system. We CANNOT let them steal our children’s future.

Remember. It’s never: We fight for (these people) because maybe we’re more at risk if we don’t. No more Niemölling. We fight because they are coming for anyone. Every single person matters. Each and every human being’s life and safety is worth the fight.

President Trump's executive order targeting gender-affirming care is dangerous and unconstitutional — we're suing to stop it.
