Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people.

Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

1. A transgender woman let legislators know she intended to use the bathroom in the Florida Capitol.

A contingent of officers waited for her, and stood outside the door.

When she stepped in, she was arrested and sent to a men's jail.

The latest from S. Baum.

Trans Woman Arrested, Sent to Men’s Jail For Entering Florida Capitol Bathroom
“I’m not a political activist,” she maintained. “I’m just a normal college student who thinks this law is wrong.”

Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.

Today’s Transgender Day of Visibility. Trans people are strong, powerful, + have always existed. But w/ increased visibility, political backlash has also increased. That’s on full display w/ the introduction of state laws that would require public school employees to “out” LGBTQ+ students.

This is what the opposition did in the Hungary Parliament when they passed the Pride ban.

May we have congresspeople with an ounce of the courage.

I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners.

Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious.

We cannot stay silent.

Shame on the NH State Legislature for passing 5 anti-LGBTQ+ bills today, overwhelmingly designed to block transgender + gender non conforming people from public life. And we are so proud of the transgender + allied state reps who brought real, powerful stories to the House floor in speeches today.

If they outlaw bans on conversion therapy and allow bans on evidence-based medical care, I don't know if you can escape the conclusion that we now live in a theocracy, where what is legal depends not on the constitution but on the narrow conservative Christian interpretation of their religion.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court takes up a case challenging Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors, after having previously turned down many other similar challenges.

The law, which protects against efforts to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity, was upheld below.

1. Protests have erupted at multiple hospitals across the United States that have decided to comply with Trump's executive order banning trans care under 19.

Now, a lawsuit challenges that EO.

Writer Mira Lazine writes about the importance of the protests.

Protests Erupt Across US At Hospitals Complying With Trumps Unlawful Under-19 Trans Ban EO
Demonstrators argue that hospitals should stand as a bulwark against Trump and should care for all of their patients, rather than comply without a fight.
