Long but please read this perfect explainer today’s shadow docket ruling in a forced outing case out of California.

Christian nationalist pastor Dale Partridge instructs the women of his congregation to model "joyful submission" to their husbands as an example to the "insubordinate feminist women" of the world: "Our duty as the church is to tell the world what is normal."

🚨🚨🚨🚨 This is an insane part of the SAVE Act. All states must submit their voter rolls to DHS (Kristi Noem). 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Mom’s Club is a haunting piece of film that takes a vital look into where this country is heading, why and who is responsible. If you care about LGBTQIA+ protections or cinematography this should absolutely be on your list. There’s a virtual screening tomorrow and you should ABSOLUTELY check it out.

It’s really wild watching maga be told what to be mad about and watch them continuously prove they can’t think for themselves

This past Friday, “Protect Girls Sports” - an anti-trans coalition led by an SPLC-designated hate group named The California Family Council (CFC) - descended upon the Long Beach Marriott to yell at CIF, the governing body for school sports in CA. This is their “We Demand To Be Taken Seriously” pic

It's largely been lost in the chaos of the last month, but Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is trying to doxx the John Does who sued her for (allegedly) allowing them to be raped by grown men when they were kids and (allegedly) covering it up @brandonthurston.bsky.social has a write-up:

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Had an intuition about Alex Pretti that he may have had a background as a veteran or related, appears he was a nurse at the Veterans Affairs in Minneapolis, gaining accreditation as a nurse in 2021 after working through COVID in general health science. @alexip718.com govsalaries.com/pretti-alex-...

One year into Trump’s second term, working people are paying more and getting less. Costs are up. Wages are down. Jobs are disappearing. Meanwhile, billionaires and Big Tech are cashing in. This is the real Trump economy. Read the full report:

Harmeet Dhillon’s entire career has been shilling for far-right agitators and efforts. She’s a hard core ideologue and wants you to believe she’s “protecting women” by persecuting trans people while refusing to allow the dept she heads to investigate the literal murder of a young mother.

Council for National Policy operation to shut down the nonprofit Southern Poverty Law Center unfolding in Congress right now in a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee. The Daily Signal (Heritage Fdn), Family Research Council, and Turning Point USA are all CNP. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrLw...

LGBTQ+ groups in high schools are about the acceptance of all. Turning Point groups in high schools are about the rejection of all but the Christian Nationalists.

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

Good job Senate Dems. This is who you helped.

Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for assisting in & participating in the rape of countless children & without explanation, the Trump admin moved her to a Club Fed where she is now being waited on hand & foot & they even gave her a fucking puppy. Anyone wanna explain that?

Nearly 200 anti-LGBTQ+ Christian leaders have been accused of child abuse this year alone https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/06/christian-child-abuse-cases-nearly-200/?utm_content=1762752000&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’ I have been forced to move my classes online. If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.

Today was my last day as a federal employee, but tomorrow I and my new partner, Ginger Quintero-McCall, open a new law practice, the Free Information Group. We are both FOIA lawyers, and we are very good at suing the government. 1/

What is the traditional mourning period before a widow starts slinging T shirts to monetize her husbands death? 4 days? 7? Asking for a friend.

Local propagandist/private school parent Jill Simonian is trying to do damage control after her PragerKids videos have gotten ongoing scrutiny of their revisionist history, reactionary politics, & ideological indoctrination- in a post for Prager this week she claims “misinformation” is being spread

AB495 is an urgently needed piece of legislation that allows families to easily provide for a guardian for their children in the event they are forcibly separated— as is happening to immigrant families via escalating ICE kidnappings.

What a giant slap in the face to other recipients.

Border Patrol pulled guns on a student this morning outside of Arleta High School. They claim it was a case of mistaken identity. Statement from LAUSD Board Member Kelly Gonez below

They still have the post up

It’s sometimes surprising what a small world the reactionary right is given their reach and influence but here’s one instructive example. This morning PragerU’s Jill Simonian posted excitedly abt a new OK program to require its teachers to pass a Prager created “America first” test.

Remember when Trump said he couldn’t deploy the National Guard on Jan 6th?

Target is re-labeling clothing increasing cost 25-33%, Walmart isn’t posting prices on food- WE ARE PAYING FOR TRUMPS TARIFFS. That’s our money and it’s not a small increase. This is 100% Trumps fault. He did this to us- but hey -his billionaire buddies get to pay less taxes.

California - we are up next. The same maneuver is being tried with Bill Essayli’s appointment. @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov

Wow

He gave 3 rally speeches during the campaign talking about getting “retribution & revenge” on his enemies. But polls didn’t like that. So Hannity coached him to say, “the success of my admin will be my revenge.” That’s the line he used after that. But it was always the former.

Off the rails.

You don’t spend 200 million dollars to build a ballroom in a house you’re supposed to move out of in 3.5 years.

Tell me 🍑 is all over the Epstein files without telling me 🍑is all over the Epstein files : Speaker Mike Johnson announced he was sending the House home early for the summer to avoid having to hold votes on releasing files related to the accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. #epsteinfiles

CBS is canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, calling it a “financial decision.” … sure. Totally nothing to do with the political commentary, right?

Did you know? A large part of the Education Department’s job is enforcing regulations and providing funding and services that states cannot or refuse to. — Anyone claiming states will do what the Department of Education does is blatantly lying to your face.

The 6 far right extremists on the illegitimate Supreme Court just gave the MAGA regime permission to fully abolish the Department of Education. Fascist republicans can destroy public education in the United States, but President Biden couldn’t forgive student loans. We’re fucked.

Privatize K12 education Indoctrinate K12 students Destroy public K12 education

We are paying dearly for the absence of civics education.

NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

I have questions: What was in the binders those influencers left the White House with? Why aren’t any of those people sharing? What is in the files that they didn’t know about then and they do know about now? It’s got to be pretty fucking sick given what most of us accept to be facts already.

You mean the Epstein files that do not exist? Hum…

😕🇺🇸

If there’s nothing to hide, why hide everything? Five Democratic state legislators were denied entry to Florida’s new immigration “detention center” deep in the Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz.”

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.
