The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights was gutted in Trump’s mass layoffs last year, leaving half as many lawyers to investigate complaints of discrimination based on race, sex or disability in schools. Those who remain face a backlog of more than 25,000 cases.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Hey chat is it cool when an elected official uses the word “cleansing” to refer to uprooting a class of people

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

I came to Washington to demand good governance for the American people. These are YOUR TAX DOLLARS at work to spread political propaganda. It’s the furthest thing from good governance, and likely illegal.

I remain committed to working for the American people.

The day after I wrote this essay, someone accidentally popped a balloon at the queer bar mentioned in this essay, and everyone started screaming, thinking the transphobe threatening to shoot up the place had come back to make good on his promise. And yet, we still come out.
An essay about death threats, censorship, loss, and the silence of cis people. All of these events happened in one week. I'm exhausted.

From LA to Chicago, the feds continue their horrid practice of aiming high and directly at press. When these agencies get to uncritically claim that videotaping is violence, this is the outcome: reporters getting hit in the face with “less lethals.” Unconscionable.
Took fire to the face. ICE definitely isn’t aiming at ground and firing at people’s heads again.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

On one end of the spectrum, ABC tanks your show at the behest of the government; on the other, journalists are thrown in ICE detention, unjustly indicted for “rioting”, batoned in the face with press pass in hand for taking photos (an action Noem and DHS say is “violence”)—and that’s just “media”

"Charlie Kirk never killed anyone" Okay but neither did Charles Manson, but we recognized back then that cult leaders are responsible for the actions of the people they've brainwashed. Kirk inspired a lot of murderers. That blood was definitely on his hands.
