People may think they're safe because they are not a student protestor or an immigrant, but if a permanent resident can be abducted by federal agents and disappeared for voicing opinions which the regime takes offense, absolutely no one is safe.

If you’re a blue state legislator wondering how you can protect trans people right now, allowing birth certificates to be changed without listing them as “amended” so that we can still get passports is high on the list.

In 2024, several New Hampshire Democrats, afraid that anti-trans attacks would work, voted in favor of a trans surgery ban and bathroom bill. They lost more seats than most other states. Now the R majority is ramping up targeting us. Capitulation didn't work. National Dems, take note.
