US rep Al Green has announced the motion to impeach Trump over his threats to invade Gaza and help Israel finish the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

"I rise to announce that I will bring Articles of Impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done." #FreeGaza📹🧵

The Trump Administration’s obsession with this issue is disproportionate to the number of Americans and children who identify as non-binary or seek gender-affirming healthcare. Fewer than 2 percent of adults in the US say their gender is different from their assigned sex at birth, according to Pew.
Trump's war on gender is accelerating
Agencies ordered government workers to remove pronouns from email signatures, and the CDC scrubbed youth and LGBTQ+ resources from its site.

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

LET'S BE CLEAR: This order will block QUALIFIED, PATRIOTIC, EXPERIENCED SERVICEMEMBERS from serving and defending our country. It DEGRADES OUR MILITARY READINESS during a recruitment shortage.

Trump is prioritizing an anti-trans witch hunt over our national security.

Trump issues order to ban transgender troops from serving openly in the military
The executive order speaks of transgender identity in sweeping and dismissive terms and sets the stage for a policy that is more restrictive and punitive than the ban from Trump's first term.

We see you, companies that are rolling back DEI initiatives. Thank you for letting everyone know that you don't actually care about social inequalities! It doesn't matter who is in office. Integrity doesn't care about political power; it won't forget and neither will we!

Sarah McBride: "It is an attempt to distract ... Every single time we hear them say the word 'trans,' look what they're doing with their right hand. Look at what they're doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare."

Notable that the only 3 Republicans who voted against this bill (see below) were the three who represent the westernmost districts in the state--districts that were all affected by Helene. #ncpol #wncpol
