BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds.

While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

Please call ICE and DHS Trump’s Secret Police. Because that’s what they are. No ID, no uniforms, no names, no warrants, no legal authority to grab people. They are Secret Police #Fascists
BREAKING - A hardworking undocumented immigrant showed up to court - did everything right - and was ripped from his family on the spot. No warning. No mercy. Just gone. He paid taxes. He believed in the system. This is how we repay him. It’s disgusting.

This is unfathomably shameful. How do we even have to debate this? Why would anyone ever again be so foolish as to trust or help the United States if this is how we treat people who risk their lives on our behalf?
An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

BREAKING: This ain’t a protest.
This is a reckoning. Raleigh, NC is flooding the streets with one message: ICE is a violent gang.

Trump is a fascist thug.
And if you stand with either—you’re a fucking enemy.

I have always been committed to nonviolence but the way a lot of people are talking about nonviolence right now has really been bothering me, and I realized it was reminding me of @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social’s She Made Him Do It Theory of Everything: www.meditationsinanemergency.com/the-she-made...
The She Made Him Do It Theory of Everything
The rhetoric and logic of the abuse of power operates similarly at all scales, which is why I've found feminism such useful equipment for understanding authoritarians in public and political life. Bec...

Also what he said: bsky.app/profile/zing...
Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

It's not a deportation if a human is removed from a country outside of a legal system. Call it what it is: human trafficking or kidnapping.
Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.
😲 Guys, Avelo painted their ICE jets all white! The tail number matches. How pathetic is that? 👀

She concludes by saying schools need to make sure they're teaching students "what it means to promote freedom and liberty" and apparently their way of doing that is banning students and silencing protected speech.
after announcing that foreign students are being banned from Havard, Noem warns "this should be a warning to every other university to get your act together."

Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.
 
Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.

New in PN: Maine fought the law, and Maine won

"After weeks of public fulminating, the administration quietly folded and quit trying to steal kids’ lunch money for the grievous sin of letting a couple of trans girls play sports. It’s a reminder that Trump, like any bully, can be fought and beaten."

Allison Riggs won her election to North Carolina’s Supreme Court by 734 votes

Her opponent has since been trying to overturn the result

With 1 Senate and 14 House seats up in 2026

And the GOP’s constant attempts to gerrymander the state

This decision for Riggs could flip both Houses of Congress
