One of our challenges is finding ways to amplify stories when all of our writers are incarcerated. They don't have access to Bluesky, LinkedIn, Instagram, or the many tools other writers and organizations use to expand their reach.

Really useful analysis of data to show how many people are going to ICE detention from local jails. These arrests are less visible to the public - as compared to raids or street arrests -- so we don't see the full scope.

The bill is the first to apply to PRIVATE businesses.
It also ONLY applies to transgender women, not trans men.

I feel like the fractures we are seeing in the MAGA coalition have some people hoping the status quo will simply make a roaring comeback, and judicial consequences will simply engulf all of the bad guys. There's really no precedent that supports that expectation.
