Today, I talked to a closeted young evangelical whose day job is to make life miserable for LGBTQIA+ folks.
I hope that she discovers the Jesus who hung out with lepers & prostitutes - the Jesus who commanded his followers to accept those of a different gender / sexual orientation (eunuchs).

Congress failed to pass the SAVE Act last year for good reason: it’s an anti-voter bill. But now lawmakers have revived it despite overwhelming public opposition. Tell Congress to reject the SAVE Act: bit.ly/4tmVIor

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

Epstein called Peter Thiel J.D. ’92 a 'great friend'
Documents from 2014-2019 suggest a close relationship between the two men, who frequently coordinated meetings with Silicon Valley figures and global leaders.

“I do not think that 50 year old men should be having sex with 16 year old girls. But “
This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

I really need people to understand that the National Prayer Breakfast is not harmless. It is a front for an elitist, authoritarian project, and always has been. @jeffsharlet.bsky.social literally wrote the book about it („The Family“). Read it - or watch the Netflix documentary about it.
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't. *crowd groans* I know we have some here today. I don't know why they're here, because they certainly don't give us their vote ... they cheat."

There... aren't any trans characters on any current Netflix shows. The number is already zero.
This week, during a hearing on the proposed merger between Netflix and Warner Bros., Josh Hawley used his time to attack Netflix for "trans ideology."
Its the latest in a pressure campaign to get the platform to remove all trans characters.
The latest from our writer, S. Baum.

Republican Senator Attacks Netflix Over “Trans Ideology” In Hearing
…but children’s programming that actively promotes the cisgender, heterosexual nuclear family is apparently not “indoctrination.”

All the usual goons are here: designated hate groups (Family Research Council & state affiliates, Focus on the Family) along with the lawfare & media groups who will push for some “just asking questions” media coverage to end gay marriage.
A coalition of 47 anti-LGBTQ+ groups has launched Greater Than, a coordinated campaign to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges. Backed by Project 2025, it reframes same-sex families as a threat to children, repackaging discredited claims into a legal strategy linked to Christian nationalist networks.

This thread on the end of the US / European relationship is quite a read. 🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵
Nothing has prepared most European policymakers for what they’re now facing: threats from Russia; the end of the US as friend and protector; US alignment with Russia; uncertain political futures in Moscow and Washington; external interference threatening their own democracies.

The SAVE act is bad.
Why aren’t more people warning about the GOP’s SAVE Act, including its requirement that states launch new voter purge programs??? History shows that Rs “love* over-broad purges. Tellingly, SAVE proposes *no penalty* for faulty purges but potential *prison time* 4 a single faulty voter registration.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.
After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.
18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

Abolish ICE is too confusing. What we meant to say is that "no masks should be deployed in an arbitrary and capricious fashion."
