Gavin Newsom vetoes gender education bill, declines to sign other trans protections - buff.ly/MTUAV85

Newsom is likely going to let the other bills go into effect quietly, and the education bill is only a couple lines of text where gender is not mentioned. I'm going to be watching much more closely on what he does with the bills that are explicitly about LGBTQ+ topics.

This is why I dont like the Taco Man

One thing that's happening in Portland that Fox News won't tell you is that aggressive, drunk, right wingers have shown up at the ICE facility trying to start fights and the protesters there have not taken the bait. Therefore the story has become "look how Antifa-friendly the Portland police are!"

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app. i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon. The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

At what point does a governor call up their National Guard to oppose the deployment of an out-of-state National Guard?

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

JD VANCE: "My mother got the drugs that almost killed her from Mexicans." REALITY: JD's mother got the drugs that almost killed her from her hospital patients, whom she stole from.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

Judge observes that Trump administration is not operating in good faith.

Most American Jews are antisemitic, according to right wing gentiles who are constantly employing anti semitic dogwhistles www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

They kicked out veterans who weren’t US Citizens.... and now? Did I read this right? Make it make sense.... www.military.com/daily-news/2...

This is a ratfuck to keep the case alive in a very friendly venue, and potentially end telemedicine prescriptions of abortion pills nationwide. *1 in 4* abortions reported in the US last year were done with mifepristone via telehealth

Just astounding. The reason they can shove through 100 Trump nominees at once is because the GOP changed the rules to eliminate the 60-vote requirement. Something they won’t do to fund the government. Yet they blame Dems.

As we were saying less than a year ago 👉

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth. Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

Good news: “Longtime Pentagon reporter Helene Cooper said that she can't find any military officials who attended the meeting in Virginia with President Donald Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth and liked what they heard.”

Imagine getting owned this hard by Hakeem Jeffries

New: Last night in the Senate, Ted Cruz blocked a bill that would have prevented data brokers from selling personal data on anyone in the United States, and not just federal lawmakers and government officials.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has become an enabler of environmental polluters: www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

The lawsuit against Russ Vought for threatening mass layoffs during a shutdown makes the correct point that a shutdown confers no new authorities to fire employees. Who knows what our Supreme Court will decide but they could do that now, shutdown or not. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social has the story.
