Even in the face of the SCOTUS decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor—the latest attempt to undermine the humanity of LGBTQ+ families—parents, students, & school leaders should know that California’s robust inclusive education & anti-discrimination laws remain strong. www.aclusocal.org/en/news/cali...

JUST IN: An independent United Nations inquiry has concluded for the first time that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and that the country’s top leaders have incited genocide, in what it described as “the “most authoritative UN finding to date.” https://cnn.it/3VjaHzS

…and I’m launching studies on the potential contribution of [all] of the conservatives and [all] of the other Republicans that might be contributing to me needing SSRI drugs in the first place. 🙃

This morning, Border Patrol agents hiding in Penske rental trucks raided a Home Depot in Los Angeles to grab day laborers standing around, which the Border Patrol's current CA lead Gregory Bovino called "Operation Trojan Horse." Raises very serious questions about violation of the court order.

Hiding in Penske trucks at a Home Depot and calling it “Operation Trojan Horse”… I just. I mean. The longer we allow the GOP to kidnap brown people and put them in concentration camps, the more complicit we become.

Mahmoud v. Taylor was an awful SCOTUS decision, an attack on the humanity of 🌈 families and on some of the basic premises of public education in a pluralistic society. But it’s not the end of the world or of inclusive education...

BREAKING: A federal court blocked DHS from racial profiling and denying immigrants access to counsel when arrested. No matter your status, skin color or the language your speak, we all are guaranteed constitutional rights from unlawful stops.

“It is ironic that our leaders from the White House to City Hall are calling for law and order, while their officers wreak havoc through excessive and unlawful force.” 🔥🔥🔥

BREAKING: A federal court has ordered the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia student detained as punishment for his advocacy for Palestinian human rights. Mahmoud spent over 3 months in ICE detention, during which time he missed the birth of his first child and his own graduation.

Are the Dodgers being honest? 🤔 ~ @eltragon.bsky.social

Today @lapressclub.bsky.social @statuscoupnews.bsky.social sued LAPD for use of force against reporters. "With today’s lawsuit, [LAPC] is fighting for the rights of all of its nearly 1,000 members to report the news without risking their health and safety,” said @adamrose.bsky.social

Incredibly important read. This is exactly what LAPD did to me and two other legal observers standing on a quiet street corner this past weekend—except with rubber bullets, not pepperballs, and aimed at our heads, not our feet. …oh, and the officer waved tauntingly right before shooting at us.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth can remain in effect. This is devastating for trans people and our families but doesn’t end our work against President Trump’s attacks on trans people and our health care.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

Medication abortion is: 💊 Safe 💊Effective 💊Necessary care That’s why we’re defending #MifeInAll50 to keep it within reach in ALL 50 states for everyone who needs it! Check it out: mifeinall50.org

On his first Father’s Day, Mahmoud Khalil will sit in a detention center 1,500 miles away from his wife and newborn son, as punishment for speaking out in support of Palestinian rights.

This turbulent week has shown that the administration has lost the trust of the entire autism community. HHS’ walk-back is a success for our advocacy; it shows that our community has power, and that it is vital to speak up when potential threats emerge. autisticadvocacy.org/2025/04/hhs-...

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

AOC: “36,000 people. Biggest rally Bernie or I have ever done. Thank you, LA!”

36,000 Angelenos out for @sanders.senate.gov & @aoc.bsky.social’s #FightingOligarchy tour! (But no closed captioning or ASL interp—disability accessibility matters!!!)

BREAKING: Our client Mahmoud Khalil was determined to be removable in immigration court based solely on his political speech. This fight is far from over. We will continue to fight for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

BREAKING: We're suing President Trump over his executive order prohibiting gender-affirming care for people in federal prisons. We'll see Trump in court to protect access to life-saving health care for people in federal custody.

So who all needs plaintiffs for their challenge to the impending PSLF executive order… @studentdefense.bsky.social? @thesbpc.bsky.social? 🙋‍♀️😭

We call on Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to lean into his role as a leader on LGBTQ+ issues and reject the hateful, extremist rhetoric. We need all our elected officials in California to uphold our shared values and stand with our transgender community.

No cops at pride. No @governor.ca.gov at pride.

Shelters are supposed to be safe havens. But records show they’re more deadly than jails – and the vast majority of residents remain homeless. 1/6

newsom bad yesterday bad today bad tomorrow

Newsom trying so hard to throw his hat into the ring....

BREAKING: A judge blocked President Trump's executive order targeting access to gender-affirming care for trans people under 19 years old nationwide. This is the second time this discriminatory executive order has been put on hold in our legal challenge against it.

BREAKING: We're sending an open letter to universities across the country, offering support and urging them to reject pressure to punish international students and faculty for exercising their First Amendment rights. Schools must hold firm against the Trump administration's censorship attempts.

Border Patrol, we'll see you in court. cc: @ufw.bsky.social @aclu.org @aclu-norcal.bsky.social

Civil disobedience is often necessary. Thank you Chris Kluwe.#civil disobedience

Critical support and full solidarity with UCLA students! The school is saying "no violence" except for the zionists we let attack you or the cops that raided the encampment and shot you. Such bullshit. Don't back down. LONG LIVE THE STUDENT INTIFADA 🇵🇸🇵🇸

BREAKING: A federal court temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order aiming to restrict access to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under age 19 nationwide. This is a major victory for our freedom to access life-saving care.

BREAKING: Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from implementing anti-trans Trump orders that would stop trans-related medical care in federal prisons and lead to trans inmates’ transfers. This followed a hearing in DC earlier today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to block its executive order attempting to restrict access to gender-affirming care for transgender people under the age of 19 nationwide.

Google removed wording from its AI principles that said it wouldn’t use the technology for weapons. “Problematically, it means Google will probably now work on deploying technology directly that can kill people.” bloomberg.com/news/article...

BREAKING: We're suing President Trump over his attempt to shut down asylum. No president has the authority to override the protections Congress has granted to people seeking safety at the border.

Anti-abortion politicians will stop at nothing to deny people essential health care, including threatening to lock up doctors and those who help people get abortions. No one should face prosecution for helping someone end their pregnancy.

President Trump issued an executive order to find out what education funds he can legally rescind based on curriculum he doesn’t like. Existing law already answers that question —nothing.

BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order threatening to override families with transgender youth and shut down access to gender-affirming care for trans people under the age of 19 nationwide. This order will not take immediate effect, and we will not allow this policy to stand.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

URGENT: At least 4,700 people are incarcerated in four north county jails within the Hughes Fire evacuation warning zone.
