NEW: In August, Seattle canceled Nickelsville’s proposed 15-unit tiny house village in Rainier Valley. Until now, it was not clear why. Records obtained by @realchangenews.bsky.social show that some neighbors complained to the city prior to the permit denial.

The number of non-citizens on Social Security is 0. The cost of printing out this stupid Executive Order is greater than the money received by non-citizens on Social Security—which again is $0.

He's distracting his MAGA base to steal $800B in Medicaid & give billionaires trillions in tax cuts.

This matters. This is pure and venomous cruelty. This is lifetime of trauma, if you survive, cruel. They will make more prisons more unsurvivable for more people soon. But even if they stopped at trans people, this is 23 humans. They deserve our fight.
“…the Bureau of Prisons has housed 22 transgender women in federal women’s prisons and one transgender man in a men’s prison — fewer than 0.02% of federal prisoners. Yet this tiny group of people has been the subject of intense focus from Department of Justice officials…”
