As someone once pointed out, if non-citizens aren’t afforded due process, _nobody_ gets due process.
All they’ll need to do is claim you aren’t a valid citizen and suddenly you have no due process to argue against that claim.
And they can do it to _anyone_ for any reason.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
I’m going to say this again. Our judicial system relies on the idea that EVERYONE is entitled to due process.
It doesn’t work if we ignore that.

For anyone not paying attention, this is continued denial of due process. Without due process for everyone, all other assumed “rights”, of citizens and visitors alike, are null and void.

A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad

This is because this regime’s concept of “the economy” is corporate profits, not the wellbeing of residents. Unfortunately current corporate profits are being driven by price gouging and underpaid labor.

This is going to be a litmus test for our elected representatives. Pay attention to who is willing to throw us under the bus. Make sure they don’t have a political future. Even if this bill fails (as it is likely to do), it is important to watch the debate and see who’s going to be dangerous.
1. In exchange for her NDAA vote, MTG has announced that her national felony trans youth care ban will go to the floor December 17th.
It is not expected to pass into law due to the U.S. Senate.
Still, it will be a terrible historic moment for anti-trans bills.

I really wish more people would listen to this sentiment and understand.
Trans people did not get the childhood and “socialization” of their AGAB.
We got trauma instead.
It was never a privilege.

There are too many people willing to pull that lever.

We need more people willing to keep that lever from being pulled.

1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.
He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.
It's so much worse than being reported.

I wasn't socialized to be male.
I was forced to try to be male against every instinct I had in me.
I was forced to try to fit in with boys though we all knew I didn't and I was bullied, beat up because I didn't.
I hated it and grew to hate myself.
Fuck off with your "male socialization".

The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.

The problem here is that the usual answer was basically “we don’t care, it’s just a vocal minority”, but the ones who “don’t care” are still willing to vote against our human rights. Which amounts to saying, “I don’t hate you, I just don’t care if you live or die.”
They’re still ok with killing us.

Materially and directly harming a group of people and expecting them to be cool with it is madness at best and white supremacy at worst.

You have the choice to sacrifice trans people. Perhaps it will save you.
But you don't get to ask trans people to accept the role as sacrifice. You cannot expect understanding, acceptance, forgiveness, or respect.
