"Woman says security guard at Liberty Hotel in Boston confronted her in bathroom, asked to prove gender"

"For gender nonconforming, lesbians, women in general, being harassed in public restrooms is a tale as old as time. I do think the surge in national anti-trans rhetoric is contributing to an increased policing of women's bodies and their expression of gender"

And this is where it leads. Well done to the UK for choosing this path, bravo ...

Pete Hegseth’s unauthorized halt of 11 U.S. weapons flights to Ukraine cost taxpayers $2.2 million and blindsided the White House and Ukrainian officials

Add this to Hegseth’s intentionally unsecured Signal chats and we should have a situation that goes far beyond “career ending”

We now have a system that allows Putin to bypass official corrupt channels to get the results he paid for

“This letter is to inform you that Harvard should no longer seek grants from the federal government, since none will be provided,”
Education Secretary Linda McMahon wrote in a letter.

It was the first significant response from the administration since Harvard sued to challenge the government’s decision to cut billions of dollars in research funding after the university defied demands for intrusive oversight.

@samiamsam @Tengrain The government isn’t the Jews of Israel or the entirety of Jews, nor is Israel 100% Jewish, just going to throw that in.

When choosing a law firm, it's important to choose a firm that won't cave to an authoritarian dictator!

@Nonilex
It can only be heresy if you're a member of the faith. Unless I'm mistaken, Trump isn't Catholic. So let's just call it what it really is...assholery of monumental proportions.

And I wonder what all those devout Catholics on the SC think about this.

This is #caregiving: "Don't forget, while you're busy doubting yourself, someone else is admiring your strength."

@GottaLaff

HE DOESN'T CARE.

that is an absolute fact... he'll say do whatever is convenient whenever.. even if he said the opposite five minutes previous...

the man has no integrity nor character... he only cares about what he can hate on and put in his pocket...

he has no patriotism, no honor and no fidelity or loyalty but unto himself....

I'm not sure if it needs a CW or what.

When I see/hear disrespectful crap like this spew from his mouth, I wonder how CJ John Roberts, the judicial institutionalist, can face himself in the mirror? He alone is responsible for Trump's destruction of constitutional norms that enforced our nation for 249 years.

But when asked about #military force #Trump said “it’s highly unlikely” but said “I don’t rule it out” in reference to #Greenland.

“I don't say I'm going to do it, but I don't rule out anything. No, not there,” he said. “We need Greenland very badly. Greenland is a very small amount of people, which we'll *take care of*, & we'll cherish them, & *all of that*. But we need that for international security.”

Hamas militias were caught beating Gazans who tried to take aid from a Hamas warehouse.

Hamas currently has piles of aid that they stole from the thousands of aid trucks sent to Gaza.

@GottaLaff Here is #Vought wiggling out of saying that as head of the OMB, he would follow the Impoundment Control Act.

He tells Rep Murray that what the President will do, via OMB, "are not impoundments, they are Programmatic Delays."
This is a semantic game that he developed under #Project2025 to give Trump the power to withhold funding that congress legally allocated.

“few would debate that what is happening during U.S. President Donald Trump’s second term presents anything other than a wholesale attack on the rule of law both domestically in the U.S and internationally.”

I have no idea how many of the aid requests for Palestinians are scams and not sure whether I care to know. I do know that if they hadn't chosen to attack Democrats with lies about us supporting genocide that odds are that conflict would be over and Kamala would be getting aid into them.

I do wonder how much income this character has made off all of the fundraising money that has been collected for over a year though.

@AlliFlowers Heritage Foundation's corrupt psychopathic puppet Trump's ruling per illegal & anti-constitutional Executive Orders, circumventing & ignoring the legislative & judicial branches of power are an open insurrectionary attack on the United States Constitution mentioned powers have the duty to fend off & hold its criminal perpetrators accountable, finally disqualifying them until the end of their days.

Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the law school at the University of California, Berkeley:
"...
“We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis right now,” he [Chemerinsky] said on Friday. “There have been so many unconstitutional and illegal actions in the first 18 days of the Trump presidency. We never have seen anything like this.”

He ticked off examples of what he called President Trump’s lawless conduct: revoking birthright citizenship, freezing federal spending, shutting down an agency, removing leaders of other agencies, firing government employees subject to civil service protections and threatening to deport people based on their political views.
