Political pressure also works to make sure our leaders actually respect and listen to transgender individuals, who deserve just as much safety as the rest of society. Im just still waiting for it to happen.

The image shows two people sitting on a subway or train. On the left, there is a person with bright blue hair styled in pigtails, wearing headphones, and looking at a smartphone. They are dressed in a dark coat, patterned tights, and colorful shoes, with leg warmers and holding a bag.

On the right, there is an older person wearing a military-style green coat and a cap, holding a cane and appearing to be resting or sleeping.

Above them, the text "there are two types of communists:”

Hoping these federal agents are held accountable, breaking the law should have real consequences. A federal judge has ruled that federal immigration agents illegally arrested more than two dozen people.

I mostly agree with this, but I think there's a caveat - if you're not willing to accept at least some small risk of those sorts of consequences you can't fight a fascist regime that wants to use them to impose absolute conformity on the public.

Just heard someone say that if you aren't willing to get arrested or die at a protest you aren't serious about the cause and that's a) not true and b) not helpful

You don't need to have a death wish to fight for a better world, and anyone who says you do is throwing up a massive red flag

This labeler will be shutting down. We will first be unlabeling everyone who is labeled and then will cease to operate. As the unlabeling operation will take an unknown amount of time, we are not setting a specific timeline other than as soon as possible.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

The US pays millions to Professional Bull Riders for advertising.

At PBR league events, bullfighters are branded with slick jerseys declaring the event 'Protected by US Border Patrol.'

At some, the Border Patrol makes a dramatic entrance, rappelling from the rafters as the national anthem plays.

At fairgrounds full of young men, the government sets up shop to hire immigration agents.

The "Department of Homeland Security" which is living up to its Orwellian name has posted a video on Facebook of agents arresting (alleged) illegal aliens and titled the video "Bag it. Tag it. Take it down."

This is grotesque. Even assuming every person in the video committed some criminal act,
