Maine Says No to Transphobic Bills — Assigned Maine’s state senators shot down a series of anti-trans bills amid immense pressure from the federal government to enshrine transphobia into law.

Not all the news is bad, Maine continues to stand up in defense of trans kids.

U.S. v. Skrmetti: SCOTUS upholds Tennessee’s ban on healthcare for transgender youth.

The Supreme Court of the United States today issued its ruling in United States v. Skrmetti, upholding Tennessee’s ban on healthcare for transgender youth. Today’s decision has no impact in states where health care for transgender youth is not currently banned.

Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Here is a look at the "riots" in LA.....

"Who's got the power?

People Power."

Peaceful.

No National Guard or Marines needed.

#FreedomToDissent

Downtown Los Angeles Free David Huerta rally just starting. Do not fuck with the unions, folks.

incredible protest in france today to protest israel's seizing of the freedom flotilla with french member of the EU parliament rima hassan, greta thunberg and 10 others on board

i didn't see much coverage on this protest at all on US media

seems like macron was forced into making a statement too ✊🏻

Trump told reporters at the White House that the protesters in Los Angeles “are insurrectionists.” That’s false. January 6 was an insurrection, this is a protest. But by using that language, he may be laying the groundwork to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act.

all the love in the world to LA
trump is instigating shit

A lot more people need to get a lot more serious about demanding that Congress end this presidency. We need to work this demand into every political conversation and create stronger norms against naysaying it, distracting from it, etc. until Trump is out.

White House aide calls Los Angeles anti-ICE protests an 'insurrection' Senior White House aide Stephen Miller on Saturday condemned protests in downtown Los Angeles against federal immigration raids as an "insurrection" against the United States.

President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power.

The Trump administration is putting people in LA in danger and undermines the democratic principle that the military should not police civilians.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids.

Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

"As I make my way back home to Thunder Bay, I don’t feel disheartened or defeated. I feel hopeful. Because I am seeing our people rising up, and I can feel the power in that." - Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler

DELETED: Trump administration deleted a webpage summarizing evidence that “undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.” 1/2

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers.

Instead, wealth and power has accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us.

Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

a tweet that says “jk rowling has said the profits from that new harry potter series are going to be used to try and take away trans rights wherever possible btw, so just letting you know if you watch it on streaming or pay for it you are directly funding that”

WOMEN'S WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES. DO IT

People are being disappeared regularly now and the likely truth is that far more people are being disappeared than we realize, with only a few cases being "lucky" enough to get any attention or noticed.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people.

There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Inequality engenders inequity.

"All these Generative AI haters never offer alternatives" yeah man like I also don't offer alternatives to rolling in shit because it doesn't benefit anyone to do and you can just Not Do It, which used to be normal

Utah Republicans accidently did an honest scientific and medical review of the evidence behind youth gender care instead of the overtly political reports done by the UK government and federal HHS.

We will always fight for trans folks everywhere, especially Black trans folks, Indigenous trans folks, and trans folks of color. We must educate each other, be loud, and push back. Here are some actions and resources:

As House Republicans pass a budget bill that takes from the poor to finance tax cuts predominantly for the rich, Trump is hosting a dinner for investors in his crypto business who spent a total of $394 million to gain access to him. It's clear who they really serve.

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is Robin Hood in reverse: it takes from the poor to give to the rich.SNAP (used to be Food Stamps…which Tabby and I used back in 1972) is gone. Medicare is going.

BREAKING: Republicans pass ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ stripping transgender Americans of health care The Human Rights Campaign called the bill "cruel."

HOLY SHIT. The ban on any federal funding gender-affirming care includes stripping ACA plans of covering it as the essential care it is.

I have an ACA plan. I live in a blue state, but I am about to lose access to treatments I need.

We told you this was coming

Why should we protect trans folks? Because every human deserves dignity and respect and the right to live their lives unbothered and free, fullstop.
