“They will claim the redactions are for national security. There is nothing in there that would harm our country — we already know about the Epstein-Putin-Trump connection. The only threat to our national security is the Pedo Cheeto.” Beth Vy, MarComm Director of the Lavender Democrats

Aa handful of complicit sycophants does not count as "many great legal scholars." Also, they urged people to disobey illegal orders, which is part of their training and required by law.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

After the My Lai massacre, a US Military tribunal ruled unequivocally what the Nuremberg tribunals what had already made clear: all U.S. service members have a positive responsibility to disobey “orders they know or ought to know to be unlawful.” If you love our country and care for those who serve, join us — in what President Trump calls a death penalty offense — and sign the petition on our Linktree lobbying our governor to implement supplemental training to our National Guard. The FIVE articles of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice stipulate that they have a DUTY TO DISOBEY UNLAWFUL ORDERS. If you don’t live in California, use our petition as a guide to lobbying your own governor. Don’t give up the ship! -Stephanie Wade, Chair of the Lavender Democrats Después de la masacre de My Lai, un tribunal militar estadounidense dictaminó sin lugar a dudas lo que los tribunales de Núremberg ya habían dejado claro: todos los miembros de las fuerzas armadas de EE.UU. tienen la responsabilidad absoluta de desobedecer “órdenes que saben o deberían saber que son ilegales.” Si amas a nuestro país y te importan quienes sirven, únete a nosotros — en lo que el presidente Trump llama un delito que merece pena de muerte — y firma la petición en nuestro Linktree para presionar a nuestro gobernador para que implemente capacitación adicional a nuestra Guardia Nacional. Los CINCO artículos del Código Uniforme de Justicia Militar estipulan que tienen el DEBER DE DESOBEDECER ÓRDENES ILEGALES. Si no vives en California, usa nuestra petición como guía para presionar a tu propio gobernador. ¡No abandones el barco! -Stephanie Wade, Presidenta de los Lavender Democrats

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."

When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.

He's a tyrant.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Tonight! We need everyone that's able to join us at the Tustin Unified School District's meeting. They will be discussing resolution 11-33-25 to ban trans and gender non-conforming kids from sports.
Details in the comments.

#transcommunity #comunidadtrans
On the Tustin Unified School District's resolution to ban Trans and gender-non-conforming kids from sports: The Right continues to attack the Trans and gender-non-conforming communities — this time in the Tustin Unified School District. Under the thinly-veiled guise of Title IX violations, they’re following the same playbook that other OC school districts have used. (San Juan Cap USD comes to mind.) There isn’t one known trans or gender-non-conforming athlete in TUSD, yet suddenly there’s an urgent drive to “save girls sports” — or so the opposition says. This is just another excuse to take away our rights, starting with the most vulnerable members of our community. — Beth, Marketing Communications Chair, Lavender Democrats On the Tustin Unified School District's resolution to ban Trans and gender-non-conforming kids from sports: We have to show these right-wing hate mongers that we won’t sit by and let them take our rights away. If you feel like this isn’t your fight to fight, remember: they’ll come for me in the morning, and then they’ll come for you at night. The rights of the trans and gender non-conforming communities are just the start. Don’t wait until they’re voting to take your rights away. Join us tomorrow to show our support for our queer family. — Beth, Marketing Communications Chair, Lavender Democrats Sobre la resolución del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Tustin para prohibirles a los chavos trans y de género no conforme jugar deportes. La derecha sigue atacando a las comunidades trans y de género no conforme — esta vez en el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Tustin. Bajo el pretexto mal disimulado de violaciones al Título IX, están usando la misma estrategia que han usado otros distritos escolares del condado de Orange. (Se me viene a la mente San Juan Capistrano USD.) No hay ni un solo atleta trans o de género no conforme conocido en TUSD, pero de repente hay una urgencia de "salvar los deportes femeniles" — o eso dice la oposición. Esto es solo otra excusa para quitarnos nuestros derechos, empezando con los miembros más vulnerables de nuestra comunidad. — Beth, Encargada de Comunicaciones y Mercadotecnia, Demócratas Lavanda Sobre la resolución del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Tustin para prohibirles a los chavos trans y de género no conforme jugar deportes. Tenemos que demostrarles a estos propagadores de odio de derecha que no nos vamos a quedar sentados mientras nos quitan nuestros derechos. Si sientes que esta no es tu lucha, recuerda: vendrán por mí en la mañana, y luego vendrán por ti en la noche. Los derechos de las comunidades trans y de género no conforme son solo el principio. No esperes hasta que estén votando para quitarte tus derechos. Únete a nosotros mañana para mostrar nuestro apoyo a nuestra familia queer. — Beth, Encargada de Comunicaciones y Mercadotecnia, Demócratas Lavanda

“We are a tiny minority who face discrimination on a daily basis. It's hard to date and nigh on impossible to get healthcare support We have to think about where we travel, which companies we apply for jobs with and every day trans women are judged on our appearances - not only do we suffer the same judgements made on all women, but if we are too feminine we are just perpetuating female stereotypes and if we are too masculine we're some sort of sexual deviant with a fetish.” -Charlotte “Somos una minoría muy pequeña que enfrenta discriminación a diario. Es difícil tener citas y casi imposible conseguir apoyo médico. Tenemos que pensar en a dónde viajamos, a qué empresas les mandamos solicitud de trabajo, y todos los días nos juzgan por cómo nos vemos - no solo sufrimos los mismos juicios que todas las mujeres, sino que si somos muy femeninas nomás estamos reforzando los estereotipos de las mujeres, y si somos muy masculinas entonces somos unas pervertidas sexuales con un fetiche.” -Charlotte

#veteransday #DíadelosVeteranos
Part 1 of 3. Reflections on the 250th birthday of the Marine Corps, Veterans Day, and my time in the service. Yesterday was the Marine Corps' 250th Birthday. I've been celebrating it every year since 1984. That was the year the 17 year old me, 'celebrated' at Boot Camp with a piece of birthday cake, the Marine Corps Hymn and a lot of "incentive physical training." Some years I got to live it up, like the year in 1997 when my unit held our birthday ball at the Rio Yacht Club on Ipanema Beach. Other years, I was aboard ship or shivering on the side of a Mountain. Part 2 of 3. This year, like many others, I celebrated with my family, a steak dinner, a piece of cake and a hearty singing of the hymn. I've never made the Birthday or my service a partisan issue but in this troubled time in our nation I will say that everything I've done for the past 10 years to resist MAGA extremism and protect our democratic freedoms has been motivated by my oath and the values I learned as a young Marine. It’s a very hard thing for military people, especially Marines, to do their duty by disobeying unlawful orders but we are arriving at that point when many will have to. The deployment of 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines on to the streets of Los Angeles last June was a hard pill to swallow but I'm told that at least one regimental commander refused to deploy their unit to LA. I’m confident that no matter how socially conservative the Corps may trend, that Marines will always stay loyal to their oath, the constitution and the American people. So I’m not just celebrating John Basilone and Chesty Puller this Veteran’s Day, but I’m celebrating a Corps that to its core, will always defend our democracy. Semper Fi! Stephanie Wade, Captain, U.S. Marine Corps (retired), Chair of the Lavender Democrats

#DíadelosVeteranos #Veteransday
Foto 1 de 3. Reflexiones sobre los 250 años del Cuerpo de Marines, el Día de los Veteranos, y mi tiempo en el servicio. Ayer la Marina cumplió 250 años. Lo vengo celebrando desde 1984. Ese año, cuando tenía 17, 'celebré' en el entrenamiento básico con un pedazo de pastel, el himno de la Marina y un montón de ejercicio físico como castigo. Unos años celebré a lo grande, como en 1997 cuando mi unidad hizo el baile en el Rio Yacht Club en Ipanema. Otros años estaba en un barco o muriéndome de frío en una montaña. Foto 2 de 3. Este año, igual que otros, celebré con mi familia, bistec, pastel y cantamos el himno bien fuerte. Nunca hice del cumpleaños o mi servicio algo político pero en estos tiempos difíciles voy a decir que todo lo que he hecho los últimos 10 años contra el extremismo MAGA y para proteger nuestras libertades democráticas viene de mi juramento y los valores que aprendí de joven Marine. Es bien difícil para los militares, sobre todo Marines, hacer su deber desobedeciendo órdenes ilegales pero ya estamos llegando al punto donde muchos van a tener que hacerlo. Que pusieran al 2do Batallón, 7mos Marines en las calles de Los Ángeles en junio fue bien duro pero me dicen que al menos un comandante se negó a mandar su unidad a LA. Foto 3 de 3. Estoy seguro que por más conservador que sea el Cuerpo, los Marines siempre van a ser leales a su juramento, la constitución y el pueblo. Así que no solo celebro a John Basilone y Chesty Puller este Día de los Veteranos, celebro un Cuerpo que siempre va a defender nuestra democracia. Semper Fi!

Stephanie Wade, Chair of the Lavender Democrats OC on SCOTUS' Trump v. Orr ruling that passports must reflect a person's sex as found on their original birth certificate. “Once again the MAGA-6 have overridden unanimous lower court rulings on Trumps request for ‘emergency relief.’ Apparently the emergency is that trans and gender non-conforming people have been traveling for 30 years with documents that correctly identify them as who they are and how they appear." quote continues on second slide Photo of Stephanie Wade, Chair of the Lavender Democrats OC speaking at a rally. "It’s simply a policy of shaming and literally endangering people who don’t conform to the Trump junta’s gender rules but it affects more than a tiny minority of gender non-conformers. It shows that this lawless majority will override every other court in the land and the entire basis of settled law to further MAGA’s punishing Christo-fascist agenda. It’s trans folks now, but if this stands it could be you tomorrow.”
