So, one of my best argument against the electoral college is that it actually provides perverse incentives to presidents to ignore states they’re not going to win.
Of course, Trump takes “perverse” to unhinged extremes.

Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

Good news: a federal judge just paused Wilber's deportation.
The government shouldn’t be allowed to shoot you from an unmarked vehicle and then cover it up by deporting you.
Keep speaking out, it's working.

In 2021, there were roughly 101 gender clinics offering care to transgender youth offering a full range of gender affirming care.
By July 2026, there are only about 31 left that still prescribe hormones and puberty blockers.

the trans community’s demand is eminently reasonable: “democrats need to treat trans people as equal partners in their political coalition or trans people will not be partners at all.”
so, democrats: do you want to win or not?

The vitriol directed at me and other members of the trans community for having the audacity to declare our votes are not to be taken for granted.

This is unconscionable and downright heinous! There’s going to be a special place in hell for these people!
ICE has STOLEN an Indigenous Tribal ELDER from NM, who was on her way to CHEMO.
She stopped for gas, ICE then approached her, she showed all of her proper, legal documentation.
They still stole her away. They're denying her of life saving CHEMO.
When will it be enough.

BASH: One of the things that's happening is there's a push to start students down a trade school track as early as elementary school. Is that too early?
LINDA McMAHON: I don't think so
BASH: But elementary school?

After winning Teacher of the Year award at a conference in TX, UMD Professor Kibret was detained by ICE at the airport.
3 weeks later he’s still in custody.
He’s not the “worst of the worst” & detaining him isn’t making communities safer. He should be released, now.
