Nazi leaders examined U.S. segregation, immigration quotas, and eugenics laws as models. History proves democracies can drift. Vigilance and civic engagement are essential now.

🕯️ On This Day in LGBTQ+ History: February 12 ⚠️ February 12, 1999: The murder of Billy Jack Gaither exposes deadly anti gay violence in Alabama By February 12, 1999, news of the brutal murder of Billy Jack Gaither in Sylacauga, Alabama had spread across the United States. Gaither, a 39 year old gay man, was beaten to death and his body burned in what authorities prosecuted as a hate crime. The killing shocked the nation and highlighted the lethal consequences of anti LGBTQ hostility that persisted in many communities. At this moment in history: 🕯️LGBTQ residents in small town Alabama reported heightened fear and visibility risks 🕯️Community members reconsidered public gathering spaces and open expression 🕯️The case exposed gaps in hate crime protections and enforcement 🕯️Public debate intensified over whether LGBTQ people were adequately protected under law February 12 serves as a context date marking a period when violence against LGBTQ Americans forced a renewed national reckoning about safety and equal protection. The case became widely cited as an example of how prejudice could escalate into deadly harm. Who pushed back and continues to defend National organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign, the Anti Defamation League, and the American Civil Liberties Union amplified calls for stronger hate crime legislation and enforcement. In Alabama, local advocates and faith leaders organized vigils, community education efforts, and support networks to stand against violence and affirm LGBTQ dignity. These combined efforts contributed to momentum that eventually strengthened federal hate crime protections. #LGBTQHistory #EndHateCrimes #EqualProtection #LGBTQAlabama

Fact check: Trump says immigrants in U.S. illegally have different due process standards

The U.S. Constitution, legal experts and decades of court decisions agree: Immigrants in the U.S., regardless of how they entered the U.S., legally or illegally, have due process rights.

Well yeah. The agency could argue the policy is not "arbitrary or capricious" due to the "need" (and I use the word loosely here) for enforcement of #immigration laws (although as the change in these policies was never subject to public review, as required (AFAIK) by the APA, they shouldn't be in effect in the first place).

But under no circumstances can they avoid constitutionally required due process, warranted search, right of assembly, right of free speech, and equal protection constraints on their behavior. It's just a non-starter.

If hundreds of these guys don't go to jail when this regime is finally ousted, that will be a damned shame and a signal to the next tinpot dictator that they can get away with anything.

Favorable ruling: "Judge Mehta⚡rules that Trump/Russ Vought's termination of environmental grants during the shutdown — targeted solely at states that voted for Kamala Harris —⚡violated the 5th Amendment's Equal Protection clause and orders them restored."
