Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges.
There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.
A screenshot of a messaging group named "Houthi PC small group" with 19 members. The group was created one week ago, and a disappearing message time of one week is set. The image shows a message from Michael Waltz stating that they are establishing a principles group for coordination on Houthi-related matters over the next 72 hours. He mentions that his deputy, Alex Wong, is forming a "tiger team" at the deputies/agency Chief of Staff level to follow up on a Sit Room meeting from that morning. He adds that action items will be sent out later in the evening.
A screenshot of a group chat where Michael Waltz informs the team that they should have a statement of conclusions with taskings based on presidential guidance. He discusses notification lists for allies and partners and mentions the Joint Staff will provide a sequence of events. JD Vance expresses concerns about the impact of the decision, citing economic risks and potential inconsistencies in messaging. Joe Kent adds that there is no urgency in the timeline and that Israel may act first. John Ratcliffe, from a CIA perspective, suggests that delaying the decision could help refine intelligence on Houthi leadership.
A continuation of the group chat where Pete Hegseth acknowledges concerns but argues for decisive action to restore freedom of navigation and deterrence. He warns that waiting could lead to leaks or Israel taking preemptive action. Michael Waltz follows up with trade statistics, explaining that European navies lack the capability to counter Houthi threats and that the U.S. would need to intervene eventually.
A screenshot of a group chat discussing the decision to reopen or keep sea lanes closed. Michael Waltz states that the U.S. is the only country with the capability to manage the situation and emphasizes the need for Europe to invest in its defense. JD Vance responds to Pete Hegseth, agreeing to proceed but expressing frustration over bailing out Europe. He also stresses the importance of tight messaging and minimizing risks to Saudi oil facilities. Pete Hegseth shares his frustration over European reliance on the U.S. but supports moving forward with the decision, noting that POTUS still retains 24 hours for a final decision. S.M. adds that while the president has given the green light, the U.S. should clarify its expectations from Egypt and Europe in return, suggesting that economic gains should be extracted for restoring freedom of navigation. Pete Hegseth agrees. ,
The Atlantic just published all of the messages from the signal chat.

JD Vance in the leaked group chat: I will say a prayer for victory
New reaction image just dropped
Brian Kilmeade calls for the end of due process: "It's not practical to think we can do due process on 8 million people ... if we're gonna give every one of these guys a day in a court and a lawyer, we can't do it. They don't deserve it."
Kristie Higgs: ‘I’m not a bigot – I’m just an ordinary person fighting to tell the truth’ In a triumph for free speech, judges have ruled in favour of a Christian woman dismissed from her job at a school over her religious beliefs
‘The truth’ was her declaring that all LGBT+ people want to sexually assault children, something never once mentioned in this glowing profile and a belief that the tribunal directly refused to take prima facie as the common meaning of what she said, considering it mere hyperbole
DHS has removed manual guidance barring investigations solely based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
This is a prerequisite to targeting the LGBTQ community with criminal investigations solely based on being LGBTQ.

Social prescribing has a place and can be a very effective part of treatment. It should not be politicised nor considered a replacement for medication for a person who is unwell enough to need mental health medication
Not in the UK 😭

1. NEW: Not Just Stonewall:
LGBTQ+ history webpages, mental health hotlines, and resources for the victims of CSAM and hate crimes are among the thousands of censored webpages identified by a custom tool I developed.
I hope to document all .gov LGBTQ+ erasure.

I mean I knew I was trans before I ever saw pornography but go off, gluck
No, not that alone. There is rather a lot of extra context in American culture though
![A screenshot of text reads: “Everybody is educated to become a hero", which leads to the embrace of a cult of death. As Eco observes, "[t]he Ur-Fascist hero is impatient to die. In his impatience, he more frequently sends other people to death."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rzqla66srzc76acjtujkq4nb/bafkreidmkbzj7zifkc4jk4e6d4ymwknqj65mpvwjk344hiywrvve7vivue)

I’ll just leave this here:
“Ur-Fascism” is an essay authored by the Italian philosopher Umberto Eco. This influential essay provides an analysis of fascism, a definition of fascism, and discusses the fundamental characteristics and traits of fascism.
the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president
Was the American government viciously building empire before trump? Yes absolutely. Does the trump musk axis represent an ongoing attempt to illegally centralise state power under the executive by force? Yes. Will marginalised folks be immensely, dangerously worse off under that axis? Yes.
A national park service webpage about Stonewall. "Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGBQ+ civil rights and provided momentum for a movement."
‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".
The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.
This pride, we riot.
My govt was indeed a bloodthirsty empire before trump because I’m not American
If a revolution is a forcible overthrow of the government then in essence that’s what the fascists are doing
i think it would probably behoove more trans women, and yes i mean you, to fully consider the toxic background radiation of patriarchal atittudes towards women, particularly other trans women, that we are steeped in at all points of transition. not that we are Extra steeped; simply we are not immune
They are a hateful person
Hate to break the news but the US is currently engaged in a revolution and blood has already been spilled.
This has been my fear since musk announced his own ai lab
when a Xenomorph boops your nose with its finger does it say “boop” with its big mouth or “boop” with its little mouth (its tongue if you’re a purist)
I rewatched the matrix after my egg cracked and while I had heard discourse about it offering a trans allegory I was not ready for how intensely familiar neo’s trans yearning in the opening scenes would feel
Kramer listening to facts about his outie and pulling the Kramer faces as each one disturbs him in very unequal ways
They literally removed the T from LGBTQ and erased any mention of trans people who were present at the Stonewall Riots. They're trying to erase us from history.
