I went to immigration court in Seattle to observe the kids docket. These children, some as young as three years old, are expected to understand complex legal processes and represent themselves in court.

That’s not due process.

Need the Newsom heads to see this — there are Dem leaders out there who are fighting Trump while also standing on progressive principles. It’s not just Gavin.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Everyone's screaming about how the left doesn't compromise and I keep saying I will vote for this guy. I am a communist who will vote for a billionaire. Centrists, tell me about even one instance when you have compromised like anything close to this. Or at all.
I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own.

Now, we continue fulfilling that promise.

Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.

Gavin Newsom is anti-trans and I will never, ever vote for him.
Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

The reason you stand up for trans youth is because eventually the government will come for your child's healthcare. Next it'll be antidepressants, birth control, vaccines, etc.
The Trump administration is inching closer to banning fluoride tablets and drops often prescribed to kids who don’t have access to fluoridated drinking water and are at high risk for mouths full of decayed teeth.
FDA to review prescription fluoride supplements for kids at risk for tooth decay
Banning supplements would be a double whammy in states that have already banned community water fluoridation, dentists say.

If you’re a moderate Democrat already worried about the specter of leftists refusing to vote for Gavin Newsom I do have a solution for you: do not nominate that fucker

not wanting to "do discourse" but compelled by conscience to say that Gavin Newsom accepting right-wing framing of gender-affirming care and trying to position himself as some Solomon of hard choices is bullshit. care is care. the people who need it and the people who provide it are the experts

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

One good thing about the current Republican administration is that it's forcing Democrats to look at how messed up their own party is. The entire political system needs Harvey Keitel's Mr. Wolf character from Pulp Fiction to come in and clean house.

one important thing about the trans sports canard is it’s a trial balloon to see how chickenshit the opposition is. if we cave on that they’ll attack a less vulnerable group (already happening actually) and the whole coalition will get carved up one by one
We cannot preemptively and "pragmatically" kick our more vulnerable allies off of the plane. The end result will be having to face the fascists later on anyway but with a significantly diminished coalition.
