I was asked by my department head if I was interested in being the faculty representative at the big women in computing conference in Orlando. I replied that as a trans woman it's now “functionally illegal" for me to go to Florida. As in technically not illegal, but impossible to do so in a way that both complies with the law and is safe. Shocked that it's come to this. #Transgender #Florida

When we finally find a time
to speak, my aunt the doctor
tells me she is afraid
that the virus
has damaged people’s hearts,
and I tell her at this point
people seem even crueler
than they did before,
but she interrupts me to clarify
that the virus
literally damages the heart.

Suck on that, Donald Trump!

Thanks for admitting Trump’s guilt, Gaetz. Ya dunce.

2/ Via Kyle Griffin:

To be clear: Garland says David Weiss — who was appointed by Donald Trump — requested special counsel status on Tuesday of this week. It was granted just three days later.

You don't say.

54/ There's going to be arguments on the campaign trail. If one of Trump's statements overlap into discovery, we suddenly have a problem, Lauro says.
Trump shouldn't have that chill
Chutkan: He is a criminal defendant. He's going to have restrictions like every other defendant.
Chutkan: The fact that the defendant is engaged in a political campaign is not going to allow him any greater or lesser latitude than any defendant in any criminal case.

This is utterly asinine These people are not politicians they're hateful thugs👇

@solownh I like this quote: “Donald Trump's insanity is a clear and present danger to the existence of humanity”. I’ve said frequently that #TheHeadLiar is just the symptom of the fever that rages among us. In a sane, incorruptible nation, this Lunatic would be no where near the levers of power. He’d be laughed at, scorned, or pitied, yet he is the GOP Front Runner? Ask yourself just how fucked up this is, think about your GOP friends’ motivations, resist and go vote for sanity.
