regardless of what you think of America there are a lot of good people here worth fighting for, and that’s what I’m going to hold onto regardless of what happens in November and those people are worth celebrating

No In a real democracy Trump would be in a hole as would his lieutenants and those in the heritage foundation would be swinging for treason. Liberals think we can just denounce our way out of this. We cannot they must be destroyed physically now. Reprimands won’t work.

Hate going this route, but I'm panicking over this childcare bill.

If I lose it, I'll either lose my job or have to quit my job and SW doesn't pay enough for me to survive. (Yes those are my kids in the pic, and the only time you'll see them here).

💛The Yellows:
Indigenous family close to my heart hosting a Memorial & Wiping of the Tears on last day of the Int'l Sundance (8/11/24).

Frank passed abruptly 12/2/22
& Francis, his dad, 8/28/23.

Family aim to host a ceremonial gathering since they haven't been able to yet.

Also fwiw further reason why winning back the MN House and pass the Equal Rights Amendment to the state constitution asap - which has a definition of sex inclusive of gender identity (it’s already included in the MN Human Rights Act) We need to enshrine these protections as much as we possibly can.

I expect this decision to be appealed but I don’t expect it to be successful “Interpreting the word "sex" to include gender identity would create contradictions and ambiguity within Title IX and its regulations." p.22 This line alone is going to cause problems for trans protections nationally

Wouldn't be a stretch to say Biden needs to use his new powers to stop America from becoming Nazi Germany and arrest these people. That's absolutely official business of the country.

There is an American exceptionalism embedded in the idea that y'all think you can just pick up and leave and go wherever you want. It's cute you think you'd be welcomed. Americans aren't exactly popular in the world.

I know it’s scary as hell out here right now and it feels like things are coming apart at the seams, but this isn’t a done deal yet and we have a very real window of opportunity to at least mount serious pushback to the encroaching autocratic state. We need to start now though and not hesitate.

Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here.

The president is himself forever immune from prosecution for crimes committed using his official power, and he can pardon anyone for helping him to commit federal crimes, explicitly including an actions in furtherance of a coup to illegally hold onto the office of the presidency. That’s the upshot.

My first read: If a president commits crimes unrelated to him being the most powerful person in the world, he can be prosecuted. But if explicitly uses his powers to commit crimes, he is at least presumptively, and probably absolutely immune from prosecution. I mean, holy shit.
