Trump's DOJ is preparing to put all incarcerated transgender women into men's facilities as early as next week, and according to NPR "the bureau is well aware of concerns about potential risks of assault, sexual violence and suicides"

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

In 1938, Nazi Germany held "peace talks" about Czechoslovakia with England, France, and Italy. The Czechs were not there. In 2025, Putin's Russia is holding "peace talks" about Ukraine with the US and Saudi Arabia. The Ukrainians are not there.

Note: this was a 4-3 decision. Wisconsin votes on the swing seat on their Supreme Court on April 1st. Elon Musk is dumping money into buying that seat. If you are asking what you can do to help combat Trump and MAGA right NOW, donate and make calls in that race.

Three men wearing DOGE shirts and MAGA hats entered several offices at San Francisco City Hall around noon today, demanding digital information “related to alleged wasteful government spending and fraud.”

Have mentioned this before, but the parallels with election administration are really striking: complex systems require a lot of specific knowledge. Outsiders immediately assume fraud to explain the stuff they don't understand rather than talking to someone who does.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

The Wall Street Journal trying to normalize forced relocation of an entire population in a new piece entitled “If Indians and Pakistanis Can Relocate, Why Can’t Gazans?" Shameful and disgusting that this was published. Thank you @qasimrashid.com for calling this out.

This isn’t about corruption . This is a racist white dude from South Africa believing they should be able to control the worth of “lesser humans” and using corruption to justify intrusive abusive surveillance He is framing it so when we see they all look the same etc it’s “plausible”

so i don’t know if susan collins knows this but she belongs to a body that has the constitutionally designated power to tell HHS to stop making these cuts because they do not have the authority to unilaterally refuse to spend congressional appropriations.

The head of the FAA, Mike Whitaker, resigned on January 20 — one year into his 5 year term — after facing relentless criticism from Musk for not approving SpaceX missions quickly enough. The Senate confirmed him unanimously in 2023. No acting FAA head has been appointed.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history: In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun." The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen. So they refused to announce a winner🤡

Trump has signed an executive order eliminating all funding for diversity and inclusion in the federal government, sending home DEI staff who will then be laid off. The historical echo for this is when Woodrow Wilson resegregated the federal government in 1913. We have reached the second nadir.

I’m going to unpack this a bit. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, disabled lives were not included in the tally. The reason we know about Aktion T4 at all is that its architects went on to other horrors and kept their notes about “euthanasia”. It has largely been ignored.

to recap: — Trump was for the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

All this craven ass-kissing in corporate media for someone who's perhaps the least popular and most divisive president in modern history. Their coverage -- presenting Trump as an unstoppable force riding a huge mandate -- is just bizarre. Almost seems like they're trying to convince themselves.

Elon Musk and DOGE want to create a mobile app for you to file your taxes for free with the IRS. I led over 140 members of Congress in letting Trump's nominees know that the IRS already has an easy program to file your taxes for free called Direct File. And we should expand it.

Lots of humans stuffed and taxidermized like wildlife, I assume? I know that's out there. They only finally guilted France into turning over Sarah Baartman's remains for burial in 2002; most taxidermized Black and brown people weren't famous enough to become causes, though.
