On the threat from criminal defendant donald trump.

"In my 30 years as a prosecutor, only TWO of the cases I tried required anonymous juries (and other safety measures) to protect the jurors from the defendant and his dangerous associates. Due to Trump’s dangerousness, the E. Jean Carroll jury is anonymous. Let that sink in."

Retired 30 year federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner

If you are #trans and a US citizen, you should absolutely, 100% apply for a passport this year, whether you plan to travel or not. Yes, it costs $$, but you can self-select your gender without bureaucratic BS (thanks, Joe), and it lasts 10 years and is valid ID everywhere in the world. Whatever fascist laws your GOP reps are proposing in your state legislature about gender markers on IDs, you will have a federal document that reflects your actual gender. And if necessary, you can use it to leave the country.

Who's Behind The Stripping Of Child Labor Protections? - A foundation supported by low-profile rich guys who are for ending 80 years of child protection in America. https://open.substack.com/pub/curmudgucation/p/whos-behind-the-stripping-of-child?r=hcxf&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email #fascism

Who's Behind The Stripping Of Child Labor Protections?

We know that a trend sweeping the country is the trend of getting rid of child labor protections, lowering age limits, increasing allowable hours, and opening up dangerous workplaces to teen laborers, because it's important to protect children from seeing drag queens, but not from working in a meatpacking plant or working long hours on a school night.

Republicans are repugnant:

A FL state senator who's co-sponsoring legislation that would allow 16- &17-year-olds to work on residential construction projects is himself the owner of a roofing co that’s been found guilty in the past of breaking fed wage & hour laws. Perry Roofing Contractors, founded & led by him, has been sued at least six times for wage theft, the Gainesville Sun reported in 2019, & was later cited by the fed govt.

My father-in-law bought this sled with his first earnings back in the mid 60s and gifted to my son. My son is now 22 and isn't here to enjoy it today so I thought I'd have ago. Wheeeeee! #icetodon

@StillIRise1963 the capacity for people to forget how bad a Trump presidency was and will be again is mind boggling. And if one of the issues is Biden’s support for Israel… have they forgotten that Trump love ❤️ LOVES Netanyahu? He will jump in with both feet to support the IDF.
