Top Democrats re-introduce trans bill of rights

Reply in thread

Trans folks, especially teens and kids, need to see someone in power fighting for them. It's necessary to have some hope to avoid suicide. So it is good in that regard

However for myself, I do not trust the democrats to actually follow through on any trans protections. It feels disingenuous. Why didn't they go to bat for us before the election? Why is newsom spouting anti-trans rhetoric? It feels like theater, remind the alphabet to not get too radicalized and actually throw off our oppressors

Five-year-old Liam Ramos and his father released from Texas detention center

The Texas politician said he picked them up from the detention center and brought them back to Minneapolis early Sunday.

Finally a useful politician

I am relieved this kid has been released, but I remember that there's still over 1000 people in Dilley, and Dilley is one among many. These kids are being fed rotten food, given dirty water for baby formula, often separated from their families. With ICE committing so many crimes, how many of these kids are getting trafficked?

The Real Reason ICE Agents Wear Masks | Face coverings may work less to protect federal agents from danger than to make it easier for them to do unconstitutional things.

law enforcement officers who don’t work at ICE or Border Patrol have a death rate 6.3 times higher than that of immigration enforcement officers.” In fact, the report found, immigration agents are at no greater risk than regular people: “The chance of an ICE or Border Patrol agent being murdered in the line of duty is about one in 94,549 per year, about 5.5 times less likely than a civilian being murdered.

Seems like immigrants are less dangerous then citizens

The crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States,” Graff writes.” Statistically speaking, “worst of the worst” seems to describe CBP and the Border Patrol as law-enforcement agencies better than it does the people they’re rounding up

And less dangerous than CBP it seems

It's obvious that ICE/CBP aren't about crime, they exist to enforce white nationalism

‘Grind the country to a halt’: Democrat urges national strike if Trump meddles in midterms

The Dems starting a strike fund or going to distribute food while we strike?

We should use this getting into the news as an opportunity to discuss a general strike for something more important that his job, like abolishing ICE and freeing ppl from detention. We need to be strengthening mutual aid and helping everyone get a couple weeks worth of dry food so that ppl have the means to strike
