The Icelandic parliament just granted citizenship to Pussy Riot members Maria Alekhina and Lucy Shtein who fled Russia in the dead of night to avoid long prison sentences for standing up to Putin. The bravery of these women has been recognised and thank god theyโre safe.
One reminder for last night: when Trumpโs audience was giggling and clapping as he joked about sexual assault and threw out his various races tropes, itโs proof that Trumpโs real superpower with his base is that he allows them to be their very worst selves without guilt or shame.
Trump wants all men to collude with him in his murderous misogyny. We already knew MAGA & spineless GOP are on the dark side. Now we know @cnn will gleefully sacrifice their best reporter to Trump clown show 2.0. Forever tainted, ETTD. #RIPCNN
UK, NY & LA fam, get thee butts to see this film. Wish I could. Clip in comments. Saw @tracelysette on TV this AM. A luminous star is rising friends. This will be transplendent & rEvolutionary!

@tracelysette I was using the Menโs 20 years before transition. Its not about us, itโs about cis male discomfort w ANYONE who challenges their rapidly disintegrating status quo. Too late, their fearbased BS will fail & we will prevail. Your movie, a powerful weapon in our fight. Thank you.
BREAKING: The ACLU of Montana is suing to challenge the censure of state representative Zooey Zephyr.
The efforts to silence her violate both her First Amendment rights and the rights of her constituents to representation in state government.
The Missouri attorney general is trying to restrict health care for all trans people in the state via emergency ruleย โ and today, a judge issued a temporary order to stop it.
We will never stop fighting for trans people in Missouri and across the United States.
BREAKING: Weโre suing Oklahoma to challenge the stateโs ban on all forms of gender-affirming health care for trans youth.
Oklahoma, weโll see you in court.
FILED: With our partners @NCLRights, law firm Morgan Lewis, & the 7 brave families bringing this complaint, weโre suing to block Kentucky's unconstitutional ban on essential medical care for trans youth in Senate Bill 150. Read more & full complaint: https://t.co/RsLhzfR6Aj
@bettysoo This drag king singer songwriter appreciates you two bigtime. As misguided and ridiculous as MAGA scapegoating is, the violent targeting, hatred & legislation is very real as is the pall cast over Pride events.
The people united will never be defeated, delashed or demustached!
@maddow@bettysoo@JamesMcMurtry This UR Drag King (1980-2005) was deeply moved & shouted thank you at the screen during this segment. Cheers! The insecurity & ignorance exhibited by MAGA to target an artform predating Christianity & practised annually by straight brits, is an absurd, but dangerous demonization.
I'm suing.
The recent actions violate my 1st amendment rights, as well as the rights of my 11,000 constituents to representation.
Montana's State House is the peopleโs House, not Speaker Regierโs, and Iโm determined to defend the right of the people to have their voices heard.
My statement on the Montana GOP's undemocratic decision to ban me from debate on the House floor:
Today I stood unwaveringly in defense of my constituents, my community, and democracy itself. And I pledge to always do so.
Hey Chasten & Nicolle,
Iโm a well adjusted trans elder, 20 years post transition. I knew when I was 7 in โ65. Meanwhile, I fought for your rights my entire life. Invite a trans person on your show, on your book tour. We have ALWAYS been here. @DeadlineWH@Chasten@NicolleDWallace
