My current strategy for surviving the news cycle is to wait and see if the terrible thing/action/policy is still in place a week later, because so far all of them have been reversed in 48 hours or so.

yea they haven’t reversed course in any of their DEI attacks either. Unfortunately I think they’re depending on us losing track of what’s sticking vs what’s being taken back so that we don’t notice which civil liberties we’re losing
Absolutely! The $Trump maga Oligarch Billionaire party used the transgender community as a weapon,and the Democratic party can't distance themselves from the trans community fast enough.
Until everyone realizes that we're ALL in the DEIA WORKING CLASS party, none of us are safe.
It's not only documentation either. Trans women have been moved to men's prisons and strong arming hospitals to stop providing gender affirming care to people younger than 19. Shit is absolutely fucked.
Not to dismiss how bad things are, but to my understanding any proposed transfers, at least at the federal level, have been stopped so far. Small grace in the face of gender violence, but I’m sure it matters to the individuals in question.
That last thing I want to do right now is downplay the pain a community I’m not a member of is suffering, but pulling back from yet unrealized horrors seemed like a good idea?
"Reversed" is a dangerously superficial summary, even things being reported as "reversed" are effectively weilded to exert unreasonable political influence on our own allies to extort capitulation on negotiations neither americans or allied populace want.

<3 you as a friend but, yeah, breaking point because the fact you're unaware of this is symptomatic of the bigger problem

They are putting the 'war' in trade war.
