“Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon on Wednesday that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor & strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself.”

Benny Johnson just called for trans genocide at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest, declaring trans people to be at war with "creation itself" and calling on the FBI to "start kicking in doors" and to "round 'em up".

The entire crowd gave him a standing ovation.

In all, Dayana, a U.S. Citizen, was stopped three different times in roughly the same area of Key Largo and around the same time of day

NOV 7: Dayana is stopped, her husband, the passenger, is detained and taken by #immigration agents

NOV 15: Dayana is stopped, then let go

it’s unsettling how many USians seem to think CECOT is unlike that prison your uncle works at in Colorado or Virginia or California or Alabama…

humiliation, deprivation, isolation, sexual violence…constant torture inflicted on people who both have & have not committed harm—that’s…prison.

Great thread, of course, by @jessicavalenti.bsky.social on the malignancy of this frame..... "Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place."
Because it’s not just Bari Weiss’ CBS asking this question—in the last few months, I’ve been approached by half a dozen different shows looking to ‘debate’ the same topic.

I even got a request from NPR-distributed “Open to Debate” to see if I’d weigh in on “Has Feminism Hurt Women?”

Across the country, women are dying of sepsis, losing organs, being arrested for miscarriages, and used as brain-dead incubators.

Corpses have more rights than women living under abortion bans.

What better moment to run a full court cultural press about how freedom isn’t that great anyway?

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by karoline leavitt’s lip fillers than the fact that congress just said, “what we should do is put any doctor or pharmacist in prison who gives lifesaving medical care to this specific kind of child we find gross.”

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things.

There’s no third option.

This is why you never give an inch to the bigots. All those centrists dems (Newsom, Mayo Pete) claiming there are concerns around trans kids, you're complicit in this.

This doesn't get rid of trans people, it just makes them suffer unbearably. Get your head straight: trans rights are human rights.

Shockingly, this bill would have failed were it not for the 3 Democrat defections.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.

3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.

4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.

It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.

Story to come.
