Great news. Washington State Athletic Association vote to ban trans people from sports fails by a single vote. It would not have been binding anyway, but this is good news for trans Washington Staters. mynorthwest.com/mynorthwest-...

I keep wondering what exactly the Extremes think are official duties. Do they include human trafficking using ICE? And ignoring court orders to accomplish the illegal transporting of men who have been provided no due process?

I don't know about you, but me and my kids learned so much from PBS. This is not about leftism or rightism, it's about CONTROL of PROPAGANDA. Like RAPE. He likes the pain and FEAR he creates by threatening our Norms he doesn't understand. HE MUST BE STOPPED.

The Supreme Court says Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deported by mistake and must be returned to the U.S. But let’s be honest—why would the above-the-law convicted felon in the White House suddenly start obeying court orders? The real win is when Kilmar is home. Safe. Free. apnews.com/article/supr...

Nazi legal theorist Carl Schmitt — one of Peter Thiel's favorites — wrote about a "state of exception." That's when an "emergency" allows a dictator to suspend rules & seize power. Trump's strategy is clear: Create fake emergencies to justify extreme policies. www.theframelab.org/unveiling-tr...

I’m still trying to figure out why Biden didn’t have the power to jubilee student debt if Presidents are Kings as the Extremes have declared? Thomas Paine must be scratching his head at this interpretation of the Constitution.

Dear Wisconsin, Elon Musk is buying another election. This time it’s a seat on your state Supreme Court. If we are ever going to defeat the oligarchy, it starts with rejecting their self-serving agenda at the ballot box. Get out there and vote. Elbows up.

The Nazis banned and burned books. They didn’t like books either, so they promoted fascist propaganda. Do you see a pattern here? Knowledge is power, so of course Trump wants to deny us access to libraries and opportunities for higher education. It’s death by 1000 little cuts. #TrumpFascism

If Chuck Schumer votes for cloture tomorrow, it’s proof that he’s weak and is a clear sign that we need new Democratic leadership. Polling shows that only 22% of independents would blame Democrats for a shutdown, while 56% would blame the GOP or Trump. Americans want Democrats to FIGHT, not CAVE!!!
