Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.
For the crime of … complaining about government policy.
Core 1A speech.
With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel.
They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands.
Keep up the fight.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Also important to note that the estimates that place trans people at 1.3 million are rather old, from the Williams Institute, which did good work at the time mind you.
Latest Gallup poll shows 1.3% of people now identify as trans, which would be over 4 million people!

Still thinking about this quote from a writer at NYT who said she "can't quite say [Trump's attacks on trans people are] exactly consequential, since so few lives are materially affected."
There are an estimated 1.3 million trans adults in the U.S.
That's equal to the population of Dallas, TX.

1. Media sources are widely reporting Trump's military ban has "a waiver" for trans people.
It does not: It only applies to closeted trans people who have never transitioned and feel no dysphoria.
The ban also forces people to resign or pay back benefits.

No, Trump's Trans Military Ban Does Not Have A "Waiver" For Openly Trans People Serving
The "waiver" being reported at many outlets for Trump's transgender ban is actually a "waiver" for people who have never transitioned, and are willing to stay closeted.

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism.
Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records.
This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity.
