SCOOP: Noem's DHS has acquired at least NINE new jets in recent weeks, with another one on the way. Half are luxury jets. gillianbrockell.ghost.io/noems-luxury...

If you need help convincing a cisgender person that trans people face a serious threat, here’s a good statistic 400,000 of us have moved to a different state in the last 1.5 years There are maybe about 3-5 million transfolk in the USA? So between 1 in 8 and 1 in 10 of us bsky.app/profile/rach...

This thread is now dedicated to organizing aid for trans refugees If you need help or have help to offer, please @ me Instructions and updates to follow in below 🧵 www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

The Trump administration continues to be in violation of The Epstein Files Transparency Act. Contrary to the White House, Trump is not exonerated because, if he were, he himself would not be so heavily redacted, also in violation of the law, which he signed.

Transgender Kansans are receiving letters saying their driver’s licenses must match sex at birth by Thursday They can either 🔴Refuse & violate the law 🔴Change ID & out themselves everywhere they use it They are being marked for discrimination. Sound familiar? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Democrat questions use of USAID funds for Trump budget chief's security reut.rs/47blodW

Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said that the country was in an ‘open war’ with neighboring Afghanistan, as tensions escalated overnight, with both sides reporting heavy losses reut.rs/4aDG9kP

Yooooooooooooo

I want part of the criminal and impeachment charges to include damages for the East Wing. Abhorrent and wanton destruction for a historical monument not owned by the individual currently occupying the White House, with no public review. The whole country would have said NO.

If you're a trans person in Kansas who had your drivers license invalidated, you can absolutely trust @marisakabas.bsky.social to handle your story with care. I vouch for her 100%.

Two Russian women or two Russian girls? 🤔 Bill Gates now says his Epstein relationship was a “huge mistake.” He even admitted to affairs with two Russian women, while insisting he never saw any criminal activity.

Everyone of these powerful people already knew their names were in the Epstein files. The panic isn’t about the files. It’s about the public finally getting to see them.

NEW: (gift) A Miami Herald Investigation: How Jeffrey Epstein Beat the Justice System by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social and @clurhealy.bsky.social www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

I’m seeing a pattern here. Pattern recognition is my superpower. 🧵… **Of the 1.26M people in MN on Medicaid, 19.5 % of those have a DISABILITY, that would imply roughly 246k Minnesotans How many will be impacted by this?

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided. (🎁 link:)

Aliya Rahman, after being dragged out of her car and arrested in Minnesota, was arrested AGAIN at the State of the Union for STANDING UP when Trump was spouting racist garbage about her state. She was there as a guest of Rep. Omar. That sounds important so I'll repeat it. ARRESTED FOR STANDING UP.

This is what the Trump bureau of prisons is doing to trans people, putting them at immediate risk of medical emergency to forcefully detransition them. Unimaginable levels of cruelty.

On Friday, a Catholic hospital in Nashville canceled a woman’s scheduled sterilization surgery because the hospital’s religious ethics oversight committee was concerned that it was failing its “duty to protect her sacred fertility.” It's the law in Tennessee. www.jezebel.com/woman-says-c...

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

This essentially makes any appropriations package that Dems agree to vote for utterly worthless. How can any Dem vote for any appropriation as part of negotiations when JD Vance will just grab the money if it’s going to a blue state? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Hillary Clinton is due to testify behind closed doors to a congressional committee investigating the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein reut.rs/3OzPAt0

Veterans will be impacted by the secretary of VA’s rule that he claims will not be inacted (shocker—it already has). A Vet taking a medication that helps them function and get through the day, will likely receive reduced DISABILITY benefits. taskandpurpose.com/news/veteran...

This reflects a broader pattern of personalizing and informalizing high‑stakes diplomatic functions, shifting them from career diplomats and accountable officials to family members and loyalists.

An immigration case in Minnesota modeled how to hold the Trump administration accountable for violating court orders. JoAnna Suriani on the lessons learned: www.justsecurity.org/131966/trump...

My friend (& doppelgänger) Daniel Radcliffe and the great Bobby Moynihan are currently starring in the very funny NBC series “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” - which I would enjoy even if it DIDN’T include gratuitous Weird Al references.

historical detail I can't help but bring up: by some accounts, the event that instigated the British soldiers to open fire on Crispus Attacks and the rest of the crowd in the Boston Massacre was a soldier being hit by a snowball

This isn’t about just one investigation. It’s about a presidency treating the entire legal system as something to be broken or bent whenever it stands in the way.

Never forget that the primary tactic of this movement is distraction. They point to medical statements, procedural wins and tangentially related anecdotes because *they have no evidence of their core claim* If lots of kids were transitioning without assessment they would be talking about that.

Today’s Litigation Tracker updates: -D.V.D. v. DHS: Judge Murphy ruled that the government’s policy of removing immigrants to third countries without notice or a meaningful opportunity to challenge the transfer is unlawful and violates due process www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...

JD "they really don't teach law at Yale" Vance

"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead." To read the words is to damn all involved, from Trump on down.

I don’t think people understand what’s this means: MEDICARE AND MEDICAID ARE BLOCKING ALL WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS, CANES, INSULIN PUMPS, GLUCOSE MONITORS, CPAP MACHINES, NEBULIZERS, BEDS, CRUTCHES, COMODE CHAIRS, BED SORE PRESSURE PADS, CHAIR LIFTS, OXYGEN TANKS, BREATHING EQUIPMENT, to name a few.

Nailed it

Kicking millions of people off food stamps and making the largest cut to SNAP in history does not lift up Americans or make groceries affordable. It makes it more difficult, and nearly impossible, for families to put food on the table.

"SLOPPINESS": The Trump administration claimed that a man detained by ICE had a criminal convictions for marijuana possession in 2009. The judge pointed out that the man was 4 years old at the time. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We are in the third struggle for the soul of our nation. The first was the War Against Slavery. The second was the Civil Rights Movement. This is the third: the Fight Against Fascism & Oligarchy. They want revenge for losing Rounds 1-2. Once again, it’s up to We the Working People to defeat them.

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

Another quote by Zelensky that will live on forever: "I need ammunition, not a ride."

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

(1/2) This (drawing a swastika on base) is exactly the kind of shit that happens when the administration makes it clear that white supremacy is totally cool with them (and rewords policy to call swastikas a "potentially divisive symbol.") Disappointed, but not totally surprised.

One time I posted about one of my kids and her gender journey one trans visibility day and this dude Singal posted some made up speculation about us that was completely wrong. Then he deleted it when people called him out, but he never apologized or anything. 🤮

The desks of Harper Moyski and Fletcher Merkel - two students killed in the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School - sit empty in the Capitol this week as a reminder of the horror of gun violence. The majority of Minnesotans agree, it’s time to ban assault weapons.

Working on set this week, I'm really proud of these rubber pool balls I made! Why rubber? So the extras can play with them in the background and not make a bunch of noise! Lol
