Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters

Predictable, but so fucking sad.
Just in: In a major ruling, the Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law banning transgender kids, but not cisgender kids, from accessing puberty blockers and hormone therapy, regardless of their parents’ support for the treatment.
Supreme Court upholds Tennessee ban on gender affirming care for minors
"[The Court] authorizes, without second thought, untold harm to transgender children," Justice Sotomayor wrote in a dissent.

What BS logic from the Supreme Court.
Trans care bans don't discriminate on transgender status. Rather, its GENDER DYSPHORIA that they target.
Not too many gender dysphoric cisgender people.

When practicing law becomes functionally illegal just because you help the "wrong type" of people, and when secret police start coming to question lawyers about their privileged conversations with clients, we're pretty clearly living in a fascist regime.
1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation
Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation"
Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses.
Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence.
Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

Not hyperbole to say they'll have blood on their hands. And I suppose that's exactly their objective. Disgusting.
The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.
HHS plans to cut the national suicide hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth
In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back?
The answer is due process.

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail.
Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

NEW: DOJ doubles down on refusing to follow Judge Xinis's orders. Today's status report contains nothing new. It again fails to provide information about steps they're taking to bring Mr. Abrego back), and arguably violates her command that a declaration be made by someone with personal knowledge.
