Billionaire-Funded Anti-Trans Bathroom/Sports Ban Ballot Initiative Moves Forward In Maine The ballot initiative is bankrolled by billionaire anti-trans donor, Richard Uihlein, and represents a new line of attack against transgender people in blue states.

1. A ballot initiative that would ban trans youth from bathrooms and sports in Maine is likely to appear on the ballot in November.

It is bankrolled by Richard Uihlein, an anti-trans billionaire.

It comes after Gov. Mills rejected Trump's anti-trans demands.

If you oppose the construction of ICE prisons, it’s a good time to also oppose jail construction, even when framed as “improvements” or “updating existing facilities”

The US is deliberately denying Cubans access to fuel and lecturing China on authoritarian supply chains.

Canada is currently experiencing a large, multi-jurisdictional outbreak of measles that began in October 2024 with cases in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories. While transmission has slowed recently, the outbreak has persisted for over 12 months, primarily within under-vaccinated communities. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has notified the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) that Canada no longer holds measles elimination status. PAHO's Measles and Rubella Elimination Regional Monitoring and Re-Verification Commission reviewed recent epidemiological and laboratory data, confirming sustained transmission of the same measles virus strain in Canada for a period of more than one year.

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.

This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

Yeah, that is a tear gas canister being fired toward the retreating couple holding the baby

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

“… the data out of Montgomery County, Maryland makes one thing unmistakably clear: this crusade is not a mass movement. It’s the obsession of a vanishingly small minority …”

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

State police assisted ICE in the performative brutalization and arrest of protesters today. @govpritzker.illinois.gov must answer for this.

ILLINOIS!!! Show up and show out at the Broadview ICE facility tomorrow morning.

Join us in peacefully protesting for our neighbors. The pressure is mounting — let’s get this inhumane facility shut down.

1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM.

Alejandra is not overselling this. This executive order, if weaponized by a lawless administration like Trump, could lead to the dismantling of institutional/nonprofit opposition to Trump.

It can also be used for surveillance and disruption ops similar to the civil rights era and red scare.

A tweet saying "every single municipal budget looks like the dril candle budget tweet" with a graph showing Police taking like 90% of a city's budget. Baltimore specifically.

When people talk about how systemic and structural issues don't exist but the data all looks like this.

🚨 TAKE ACTION FOR GAZA.

Hispanic journalist in Atlanta detained by ICE speaks out Mario Guevara tells the AJC about his month behind bars, and his once positive feelings toward Donald Trump.

“I’m plainly convinced that my situation in this ICE jail is direct retaliation for my coverage,” Mario Guevara told @ajc.com in an exclusive interview from the Folkston, Georgia ICE detention center where he is currently detained, despite a judge's bail order. “I haven’t committed any crimes.”

Trump is firing immigration judges.

His regime is ending "temporary protected status" for thousands of people here legally.

ICE is arresting asylum seekers at their hearings.

The DOJ is threatening to strip immigrants of their citizenship.

Trump never actually supported "legal immigration."

Khalil is now leading a march up alongside his supporters up Amsterdam Avenue and towards Columbia.

Lawler is upset because activists want to ask him questions that he'd rather not answer.

they’re gunna run out of ways to attack and deport non-citizens pretty soon and then you’re gunna find yourself anxiously seeking out very old school information you previously scoffed at as too extreme so you can try to figure out how to survive.

matching my nails to my calico critter bc what else do i have to do when the world is going up in flames

Reminder, COVID-19 is still spreading.

Everyone is at risk of Long COVID and other serious health issues from COVID.

Everyone has a right to wear a mask.
