This should be one of the biggest corruption scandals in our lifetimes. If Biden or Obama ever did this, they'd be calling for their arrest, and their immediate impeachment and removal. Trump should be impeached and removed.

It's wild that Europe, the allies the United States joined hands with to stand up against Russia (then doing evil business as the "Soviet Union"), is now having to stand up against the United States for enabling Russia's war crimes.

you can change your name under 21 with parental permission if you’re cis, but trans folks aren’t mature enough. trans people are ~1.3% of the US, with no community wealth or institutional power. they’ll take as much from trans folks as the rest of you decide not to stand in the way of them taking.

I'm quite comfortable with abolishing deportations and giving every immigrant and refugee a home and food and education and a job and safety, and if you object on the basis that we don't give citizens those things, my answer is simply that we should be giving those things already.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

At least six shot at FSU today; four injured at a shooting yesterday at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas. Amid all of the other turmoil in this country, can we remember that our elected officials continue to avoid substantive actions to improve safety and decrease gun violence?
