GOV. MILLS: “.. Maine may be one of the first states to undergo an investigation by his Administration, but we won’t be the last. .. “.. But you must ask yourself: who and what will he target next, and what will he do? Will it be you?” www.pressherald.com/2025/02/21/r...

The most notable thing about this clip from the president's address to the governors is the way Maine Gov. Janet Mills stood up to Trump. And the second most notable thing is the absolute stone-faced silence from the other governors in the room. www.c-span.org/clip/white-h...

every inch of progress in the US is like this. BLM, defund the police, trans rights, etc — all marginal, sometimes nonexistent gains followed by massive rightward pendulum swings born of the (false) assertion that by gently prodding an issue, we’ve gone “too far”

The “stop the hate” commercial featuring two celebrities who support the President who began his career by calling Mexicans rapists and whose biggest campaign donor recently gave a Hitler salute and rehired the “I was racist before it was cool” guy was….a choice.

When I was a kid we got death threats at the house (directed at “little Naomi too”) from militant vegetarians because my dad wrote a newspaper article saying humans are more important than animals. Report them to the police & don’t let them win by doing what they want.

This is not a U.S. Marshal, Federal Protective Service, or any other federal law enforcement officer. This is a private security guard from Triple Canopy. He has no authority to block members of Congress who have oversight of the EPA from entering the building.

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.

It’s like there is this straight line from Citizens United to “richest man in the world buys himself unfettered access to the Treasury”

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

“If you ask them, Democratic staff, political advisers, lobbyists, and civil rights advocates will admit they hadn’t prepared to defend trans people at the national level right now.” Good time to reup my story for @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

@whipkclark.bsky.social @govmaurahealey.bsky.social Please! Trans students in MA need to hear from you. We teachers need your leadership and support too. I don’t want this to happen here—or anywhere. www.syracuse.com/news/2025/01...

I'm never going to forgive the people and politicians who sat silently while Trump sicced the entire federal government against trans people.

This is just so harmful to many, many people. Really bummed not to be hearing about lawsuits fighting these illegal attacks on the trans community. People are already dying. My students are under attack. www.lawdork.com/p/social-sec...

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican. Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries. We are not going anywhere. Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them. It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests. I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights. Find the EO here: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

They’re already using the “child abuse” language for being supportive and helping your trans children obtain age-appropriate gender-affirming care that was pioneered in Texas. Trans kids will be taken from loving parents. Adult gender-affirming care will be defunded next. This is already genocide

every single person who was Just Asking Questions and Hearing From Both Sides and served to normalize the inhumanity that led to this, know that you will all be together in hell in the deepest lake of fire, at the bottom of a rotting pit, drowning and boiling in the blood that you helped spill

The opposite of diversity is segregation. The opposite of equity is hoarding resources. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion. We need to name that these are segregationists who are excluding to hoard resources.

one day when this is all over — and it will be — i will personally never forget the people, famous or otherwise, who jumped on board with fascism because it was the easier thing to do at the time

Nikki Giovanni staunchly supported trans folks, especially trans youth. Her encouragement is a balm. “I think the transgender kids are the bravest kids right now that we see; they're as brave as my generation was in breaking down segregation.”
