I want to make it aggressively obvious that this generic as hell cis man stands now and forever in solidarity alongside my trans neighbors, friends, and family members. This is utterly nonnegotiable.

While there is a lower class, I am in it.

What you’re saying is the federal government is ignoring the temporary restraining order that was issued yesterday?

Wonder who’s going to actually do anything about this considering there’s no real mechanism in place to stop this now that the federal government is ignoring the courts openly

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for
