In a week in which Republicans were sprinting to eliminate Black representation in the South, that's the headline they go with?

can there just be one day where the government doesn't actively dehumanize me and other transgender people for existing thanks

tbh Elon Musk might be one of the worst people ever to live 1. He helps put an insane person in power 2. Because he wants to buy a government job from said insane person 3. Uses that government job to revoke lifesaving aid from tens of millions 4. Inflict huge institutional rot along the way

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

I just saw the video, it's a fucking execution. There's no way to describe it as anything but. ICE executed an unarmed man in plain daylight.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying. They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

Historically, we've focused a lot on the brutal actions of authoritarian regimes, and today is no different.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

working for ICE should be the last job any of these people hold for the rest of their lives

Been saying it for a year (privately, then publicly after leaving The Washington Post): This is fascism. It's here. It is happening right now.

1. Major exclusive breaking news: Marco Rubio may have just banned trans foreigners seeking visas with correct gender markers from US Entry. A new cable, effective immediately, says visas must contain assigned sex at birth and should be rejected if they don't. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. Yesterday, Trump's executive order crossed a new line. No longer are the NYT Op-eds, thin veneers of pseudoscience, and false claims about trans people needed to justify discrimination. We enter an era where our humanity itself is officially questioned. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

No, you know what, I'm going to be real here with you: I don't think I /can/ do four years of this.
