how could josh campbell and kit maher do this

it's hard to find a motivation for DOGE other than 'hatred of the good.' these are bad people fundamentally envious or un-understanding of the idea that you might work or give for others, and attempting to punish it.

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

Hunter Schafer Speaks Out After Getting Passport Misgendering Her: "F*ck This Administration" In an 8-plus-minute video, Schafer connected the passport to “historical rises of fascism and everything this new administration represents.”

Hunter Schafer announced in an 8+ min video that her new passport misgenders her, presumably because of Trump's announcement that the US govt only recognize gender as assigned at birth.

she (rightly) connects it to fascist history, like Nazis burning the Institute of Sexology in 1933 @teenvogue.com

Oh my god.

They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service.

"Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights"

WOW.

Stonewall National Monument (U.S. National Park Service) Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights a...

NPS [Feb 12] -- Natl Park Service scrubs "TQ+" from Stonewall National LGBTQ+ Monument in Christopher Park & the accompanying text. Monument to a riot launched by trans women of color like Sylvia Rivera & Marsha P Johnson reads "LGB."

Ken Klipperstein leaked full passport guidance for trans people:

- X markers will be a focal point
- Existing unexpired passports will remain good
- No guidance on confiscation, but it doesn’t seem like they will
- Renewals less clear but it looks like they will use “a preponderance of evidence”

at the rally for trans youth in Union Square

if you were an unreconstructed segregationist from jim crow alabama, what would you do differently than this administration with regard to civil rights enforcement?

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

Anti-Trump demonstrators in Los Angeles have taken over the 101 freeway to protest ICE deportation raids.

unfortunately for these folks the odds are that they aren’t going to go after violent criminals at all — too hard — and going to go exclusively over the easiest targets, which are law abiding workers

“We must end gender ideology,” say the people who believe that heterosexuality should be enforced with state violence and that women should have the legal status of permanent children.

It’s a facile point but “gender ideology” is such a capacious and imprecise term—never actually defined, so it can mean anything. And it’s used almost exclusively by people advancing their own, highly specific and prescriptive ideology of gender.

Having a senile Fox News uncle as President of the United States is actually very bad

the president does not have anywhere near the authority to do what he did in that order. this rollover is pathetic.

A page with the title "LGB Travelers"

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".

The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

Legacy media helped create this anti-trans moment Mainstream newsrooms like the New York Times downplay Trump's latest attack on trans rights after years of helping lay the groundwork for it.

Wrote something for @objectivejournos.bsky.social today: objectivejournalism.org/2025/01/lega...

FYI, this is straight-up eugenics. There were lots of programs like this proposed in the 1930s that offered incentives and rewards to “good” (i.e. white and economically advantaged) communities to promote population growth among those groups and suppress it in others deemed less desirable.

Lunacy

The mask is off with these fucking fascists.

Trump is calling trans military members dishonorable liars, is shutting down gov't funded programs to try to root out trans people, and red states across the country are following suit.

There's barely any pretense to their hateful policy anymore.

this really is "just asking questions" laid bare. there's no basis to ask the question. you're only asking because you have a preferred outcome that is contrary to all of the evidence.

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.

No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."

Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."

It's a big step towards very bad things.

this is an illegal order. the president does not have the legal authority to discriminate against entire categories of americans on the basis of sex. this order is no different than if he had issued one reinstituting segregation.

Elon Musk tells an AfD rally in Germany: "I think there is too much focus on past guilt (in Germany), and we need to move beyond that. Children should not feel guilty for the sins of their parents - their great grandparents even"

a nazi speaking at a nazi rally. it’s really not deeper than that.
