open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe... A good real life example of how this totally unnecessary act will disenfranchise people, especially women. (Honestly I am not sure it won’t cause problems for the GOP as well.)
Love the sound of snow plows in the morning.
For over 150 years, trans people have used courts to change legal sex. While writing Before Gender, I found what may be the first case in the US: a formerly enslaved trans woman in Georgia in 1869. Her story shows that trans people found legal support long before the word transgender even existed.
Hey Walmart....whatcha doin?
CHICAGO…
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting.

Noticing a pattern here.
No worries. My rent has gone up by 40% in the past 2 years, so I can't afford to buy anything anyway.
In my area almost every town center has parking that will overhang the sidewalk if a large truck backs in. Every area is different, I reckon.
Yes, but you wouldn't be Butt In parking if the spot is parallel?
My only complaint about Butt In parking is so many of them end up blocking sidewalks. Of course this only matters if you're in a wheelchair. Or pushing a stroller. Or a cart. Or use a walker. Or a cane. Or or or...
Say what now?
incredible how many universities find anti-genocide protests to be more dangerous than literal rapists.
I think you might need to start with a very small amount of water and add slowly...maybe?
A new report by Human Rights Watch and partner nonprofits released today confirms that migrants at the downtown Miami ICE facility were indeed shackled with hands tied behind their backs, forced to kneel, and made to eat from styrofoam plates “like dogs.”
Q: “How can we ensure due process if we’re not allowed to know the names and charges?”
NOEM: *word salad* 🥗
200+ people were snatched by ICE in NASHVILLE — Kristi Noem sheds no further light on who or why, just unconvincingly says “we’re following the law” over + over again.

ALERT: The City of Boston is under a heat emergency now through Thursday.
The heat index for this period of time is forecasted to range from 91 degrees to 97 degrees with little relief overnight.
Glad to hear he is safe and back with his family. But if they can disappear a U.S. citizen and terrorize his family this way, imagine what they are doing with immigrants in ICE facilities.
Worse than powdered eggs?
Say what now?
Let’s not forget: Trump promised he would go after “criminal” migrants. But instead he’s targeting farm workers who labor to put food on all our tables.
A Massachusetts lawmaker has proposed a bill that would ban law enforcement officers — local, state or federal — from wearing masks and personal disguises while on duty.
The ban would not apply to surgical or N95 respirators.
LA: “Your children will one day grow up and know their fathers or mothers were kidnappers against our own people.”
Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

This is not normal
Things you didn't think needed to be said...
And then this shit just came out.
When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.
When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.
