The defunding of public media, the gutting of the Washington Post and LA Times, and the cancelation of Stephen Colbert by Paramount is all connected. It's part of a hostile takeover of our entire information space by the oligarchs.

As Trump's corrupt administration aims to round up 3,000 people a day, ICE has unlawfully tossed citizens and veterans in jail without cause.

Now, with zeal to meet the quota, they're coming for our medical records. You can't make this stuff up.

Trump knows his agenda is wildly unpopular, so instead of selling it, he’s doing what he does best: cheat. His plan? Push red states to redraw their congressional maps to wipe out Democratic seats and lock in a GOP House majority. First up: Texas with a special legislative session set for next week.

This could ultimately affect the independence of many federal agencies. Legal challenges are expected up to SCOTUS, given the precedent set by the 1935 Humphrey's Executor v. United States, restricting the removal of officials from independent regulatory agencies

1. Yesterday, Newsom peddled anti-trans politics and far-right conspiracy theories about transgender people in a podcast, the latest example of many anti-trans actions taken by the governor.

We engage and explain.

Everyone needs to understand that the defunding of public broadcasting this week is part of a broader effort to dismantle the free press and control the means of reality production itself.

Puerto Rico has just banned gender affirming care for trans people up to age 21. It is now the ban with the highest age limit in the United States.

The law calls for 15 years in prison for any violators, as well as a $50,000 penalty and the revocation of all licenses and permits of medical staff.

Girl, your adding to the “debate” by supporting JK Rowling’s work that she uses to fund the genocide of trans people. You don’t get to just enter a “magical world” while actively supporting a fascist bigot’s pocketbook to do more harm. Also, calling it a “debate” is a TERF dogwhistle phrase.

The next CLEARLY OBVIOUS step is to remove the tax break.

Churches in the US are now inherently political entities.

They no longer lead nation on morals of any kind. The number of child molesters protected by the churches ends that argument.

Tax them like any other business with free speech.

Trans people make up 1-3% of American society depending on definitions (nonbinary, trans, etc).

That is enough to swing multiple close swing state elections.

Democrats should not nominate an anti-trans Democrat.
If there's one thing that getting yelled at all day for saying that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom in a hypothetical 2028 election has made me more sure of... it's that I will not be voting for Gavin Newsom (or any other politician who pushes anti-trans nonsense) in 2028 or any other year.

1. We have learned that 20 hospitals have received subpoenas from the department of justice seeking records on transgender patients.

We can confirm at least one hospital has received them from a person familiar with the situation.
