During the anti-ICE school walkouts in January, a group of students in Chandler were targeted by an armed agitator. Turns out it was Phoenix PD Sergeant Dusten Mullen. He admitted his plan was to try to get purposely assaulted so the teenager protesters would all get arrested (it didn’t work).

BREAKING: We're challenging a new Florida law that requires voters to have "evidence of citizenship on file," such as a birth certificate or passport, to register to vote.

Unnecessary and burdensome laws like these make it harder for people to participate in our democracy.

BREAKING: Gov. Ron DeSantis just signed Florida’s new anti-voter law, HB 991. This “show your papers” law adds unnecessary barriers to voting, so @aclu.org and @aclufl.bsky.social are suing.

In America, voters choose our leaders — politicians don’t get to choose who votes.

We’ll see you in court.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS

You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

The politicians and activists pushing these attacks are part of a well-funded and coordinated nationwide effort to remove trans people from public life.

We can fight for the future our families deserve. Resist these attempts to push people into the shadows based on who they are or who they love.

I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and work for the ACLU here. Trust me, I know full well this is a political calculation and an attempt to pivot. And also, I don’t really care. I just want to stop the bleeding in my home.

I’m well aware! I’m under no West Wing delusions. I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and civil rights advocacy is my day job, so I’m very familiar with Judd and the things he usually says. It’s still a shocker as far as messengers go, and a very big deal that even he is trying to pivot.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s likely a political calculation. I don’t care too much what the reason is though, I just want the bleeding to stop.

Already seen a few comments on Facebook and Twitter calling him a lib. Which is objectively hilarious if you’ve seen literally any quote from him over the years.
