The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex".

been thinking the same since this time last year, noticed all these large sprawls of vacant warehouses popping up in what were farm fields
Re Last repost, I have been wondering for a few weeks what recommends Amy Klobuchar to be Governor of Minnesota? What has she actually done over the past few months to concretely protect people in MN? I don't live in the state so perhaps she has done things but from the outside I don't see it.
More than a year after the Trump administration was first sued over its anti-transgender prison policies, DOJ literally showed up in court Thursday morning with a new policy — and it is even more anti-trans, aiming to end trans-related care in federal prisons altogether.
Law Dork published this memo tonight. It's important, DHS issued it & DOJ filed it a day before a key hearing in a Minnesota case, and it is not remotely available on PACER b/c a judge denied my request to open the docket to all.

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.
They're coming for adult care and they're explicit about it.

And undermines the fact that transition care is lifesaving for many who receive it

It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees. The government suggests — with minimal explanation and even less evidence — that doing so would result in "chaos." The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights. 14 At this preliminary stage, Plaintiffs have made a clear showing of likelihood of success on their Fifth Amendment claim.
BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
The El Paso County Medical Examiner determined that one detainee died last month from “homicide by asphyxia due to neck and torso compression." Literally tortured to death.
Loved ones say they were 'stonewalled' by immigration agents as Leqaa Kordia rushed to hospital from detention centre.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
They literally erased trans people from the National Park Service site detailing the history of Stonewall. www.npr.org/2025/02/14/g...
The Republic is collapsing, alliances are dead, and masked armed agents are disappearing and murdering people but hey, at least they stopped the trans people from getting healthcare. Enjoy the autocracy!
Children screaming and crying can be heard as a possible uprising is underway at the ICE Children's Concentration Camp in Dilley, TX (1/24/26).
Does anyone know of information on this that isn’t paywalled?

The Justice Department is considering loosening a slate of gun regulations as it seeks to bolster support from ardent Second Amendment advocates, according to three people familiar with the changes who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss plans that have not been made public. Some of the changes are expected to ease restrictions on the private sale of guns and loosening regulations around shipping firearms. Other changes to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regulations under consideration would change the types of firearms that can be imported and make licensing fees refundable. Officials are also expected to change the form required to purchase guns to have applicants list their biological sex at birth. The current form asks applicants to list their sex.
The DOJ is weighing rolling back gun restrictions but implementing a form change requiring applicants purchasing a gun to list their "biological sex at birth" which would serve to out trans people and potentially target them with criminal charges if they list their current sex or gender identity.

I see the ICE just got onto Bluesky and was immediately put on the "literal fascists" block list. LOLOLOL

There is so much tear gas in the air it can be felt driving on the other side of highway 94 in Minneapolis - in your car.
