I think President Trump wants Pete Hegseth to be the 2028 presidential nominee.

1. In whom does Trump see the most reflection of himself (real and imagined)?
2. But still has never said no to him?

The intention for any who miss it, is to exclude certain people from being out in public when they cannot use facilities safely.

This has been done to oppress many groups, all for that reason.

This is no different. Same evil.
1. Terrible news for trans people in Idaho.

The state's House just passed one of the first private business bathroom bans in the United States.

It allows you to sue any private business that lets trans people pee if you think they're in the wrong bathroom.

YES. I've been begging for this. They are running illegal detention facilities in office buildings. Municipalities shut down businesses all the time for health code or zoning violations far less severe than ICE's. Pressure your cities!

In 1972, Jesse Jackson sat on the steps of 123 Sesame Street and got a bunch of kids to chant “I Am — Somebody,” a poem written by civil rights activist Rev. William Holmes Borders Sr. in the early 1940s.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

My mom mentioned the other day that she never sees anything on her local news about all the ICE kidnappings of people and kids up here in Maine. They are being held in conditions that can only be called concentration camps.

There is no constitutional right of law enforcement to detain me, throw me to the ground, and then put five bullets in my back while masked and unidentified.

There is a right to vote.
Emmer: "Another reform they claim they want is they want ICE agents to identify themselves, to show identification. But they don't want identification for voters in elections. I mean, this stuff is just intellectually inconsistent."
