The right doesn't see a contradiction in saying that they're protecting women from immigrants and trans people whilst also campaigning against their rights. Because they see those rights as undermining women's protected place - in the home, in servitude to their protective husbands.

"Under the Trump administration, groups were now eligible to apply only if they swore to abide by executive orders erasing mentions of transgender people and racial diversity. Applicants were given extra consideration if they agreed to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement."

This domestic violence shelter was told it no longer aligns with the Trump administration’s priorities

Trump’s war on ‘gender ideology’ and diversity is hurting San Francisco Asian Women’s Shelter's ability to help victims — many of whom can’t get help anywhere else. It’s already cost them nearly $500,...

See, the problem is that cyclosporiasis and the measles were not included in the list of Trump's enemies when it was decided that punishing those enemies was the only legitimate purpose of the government. Therefore we have no way to get either under control.

Fascism is a disease that spreads from country to country. Every fascist country creates refugees, people who aren't welcome in these homogeneous ethnostates. Those people have to go somewhere and wherever they go responds to the influx by going fascist itself. The future is hopelessly fascist.

My daughter came out as trans in high school. She never used the school bathroom. She’s almost 30 now and is too afraid to use public restrooms. In some states, using the women’s room risks arrest, but using the men’s room risks assault. She has bile acid issues, so she avoids going out. It’s sad.

A father in Idaho, speaking to police after his child died by suicide: “There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids. The whole fucking country. The whole fucking administration, every single fucking day.” Please read this important story by @joyurcaba.bsky.social

Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.

The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.

ICE-Gestapo has murdered yet another person, this time in Maine, 26 year old father from Colombia Joan Sebastian Guerrero. He was authorized to work in the US and he was issued a social security number. ICE aren’t agents, they are terrorist killers.

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

If your state tries to provide the "wrong" result in November, the warmongering, child-raping, senile fascist dictator's thugs will act. The drooling, diaper-filling imbecile murdered American Democracy. Trumpistan is a shithole. No one is fighting back.

The Elections Clause (Art I, Sec 4, Clause 1) is the #1 constitutional provision that grants states the authority to regulate Federal elections for the House & Senate. The courts rightfully ruled that #Trump and #MAGA cannot control Federal elections but guess what? www.notus.org/2026-electio...

We said all along that none of this was for ‘safety reasons’. It is about humiliating and isolating trans people and attempting to remove them from society. Republican pressure drives trans teen from dance competition | Advocate.com www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), a wing of the Department of Justice (DOJ), considers banning transgender people from buying and owning guns Shall not be infringed. If they want to use that logic, everyone gets to theneedlenews.com/2026/07/trum...

Trump's ATF Floating Rule To Ban Trans People from Buying Guns

The rule isn’t set in stone yet. It could still be dropped by the ATF, and the public comment period is a critical way to create pressure to stop it.

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?
