Idaho just passed a bathroom ban where a second offense is a felony. Under the state’s three strikes law, a trans person could face up life in prison for using the bathroom the fourth time. They’d then be put in a men’s prison and pulled off their hormones. For washing their hands.

5 years ago I was called a fearmonger for saying bathroom bans were coming. Then drag bans. Then revocation of licenses. Every year, the “fearmongering” bill I get accused of for reporting on becomes the bill that passes 5 states the next year. Becomes Republican bread and butter.

1. Idaho has passed the most extreme anti-trans law in the nation, a bathroom ban. The second offense would be 5 years in jail, and the 4th offense could lead to life in prison due to Idaho's 3 strikes law. It now heads to Governor Brad Little's desk. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Idaho Passes Most Extreme Bathroom Ban In Nation, Creating Path To Life In Prison

Second offense transgender bathroom usage has a 5 year maximum penalty, but four offenses trigger's Idaho's "persistent violator" statute, which can carry life in prison.

NEW: Voters filed a petition with the California Supreme Court challenging a local sheriff's seizure of 650k ballots cast in last year’s voter-approved redistricting referendum. They seek the return of the ballots to the proper election official and a court order stopping the recount. https://www.democracydocket.com/cases/california-redistricting-referendum-ballot-seizure-challenge-cervantes/

Update: The team at @Defector takes a look at the IOC's justification for this new policy: Nothing. "No scientific papers are cited. No research is detailed. No citations or attribution can be found. There isn't even a hyperlink. Everything is stated as fact," writes Diana Moskovitz. "The new policy also ignores that its proposed solution — testing for the SRY gene — has been done before. It was abandoned by the IOC in 2004 because it didn't work."

Demand that your senators do not accept any deal that gives ICE and Border Patrol more money to terrorize our communities, or fails to implement serious reforms: https://indivisible.org/actions/dem-senate-not-a-penny-more-ice-bp/?source=mastodon

And then call your representative: https://indivisible.org/actions/dem-house-not-a-penny-more-ice-bp/?source=mastodon

Tell Senate Democrats: Not a penny more for ICE and Border Patrol terror | Indivisible

Reports are circulating that Democrats are open to considering a deal being floated by Trump, it's time to remind them that our demands have not changed: The only way ICE and Border Patrol get so much as a single penny more will be if Democrats fail to lead.

It's clear Fetterman doesn't care what the people of Pennsylvania want, but constituents should still let him know that they won't forgive him for supporting Trump's pick for DHS secretary.

If Fetterman wants to work for Trump, he should take a job with the regime. Pennsylvania would be better off.

“Cuba welcomes transnational terrorist groups, such as Hezbollah and Hamas,” reads a Trump executive order. The administration did not provide evidence to support this claim, and none has surfaced.

That hasn’t stopped legacy media from repeating the claim uncritically, with nothing more than an “alleged” or “accused” attached, suggesting reporters can’t be bothered to factcheck it.

As Washington Succeeds in Wrecking Cuba’s Economy, US Media Blame the Victim

As the Trump regime tightens the screws on Cuba by further restricting oil to the country, legacy media continue to toe the government’s line.
