ICE 🧊 kidnapped an autistic child without telling his parents. He asked his mom to use the restroom, and then disappeared. His parents opened a public search. They found him at a resettlement center. This is child trafficking.

Ken Paxton says his “undercover” ops will target trans people and “antifa.” Blaming "transgenderism" for Charlie Kirk's shooting. Harmfully defaming us as “drugged up foot soldiers” and “a cancer on our culture”
This isn’t safety—it’s surveillance + scapegoating. #trans #maga #lgbtq #transgender

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 8d

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

The endgame for all of this is constructing a military that will obey orders when ordered to fire on citizens. That's the throughline to half of what Trump is doing.

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 12d

Hegseth: "We are overhauling an inspector general process that has been weaponized, putting complainers and poor performers in the driver seat. We are doing the same with the equal opportunity policies. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complains ... no more walking on eggshells."

Jimmy Kimmel:

“You almost have to feel sorry for him. He did his best to cancel me. Instead he forced millions of people to watch the show. That backfired bigly. He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now.”

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Yes, remember, presidents aren't supposed to be dictators. Instead they enact (execute) laws passed by congress. That's what executive orders are legally supposed to be.

Charlie Kirk said white privilege is a racist lie, and he believed in the "Great Replacement Theory" Those are concepts that come from white supremacists groups.

Even with inflation, $50,000 should be enough. They may avoiding accountability because of who he is. Income inequality is so bad. I know several people who could never hope to have that much. Tax the rich.
