1. Yesterday, in an interview with Sunday Morning Futures, Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville falsely claimed that "entire teams are turning transgender." It is the latest in a series of wild claims by Republicans about transgender people. Subscribe to support my journalism.

I've seen people do what Pete Hegseth did, but never before with top secret information of a military op. We used to call it "drunk dialing."

Sometimes wish I could join her. More would be relieved than hurt. Those hurt would no longer be being hurt by others to spite me. I’m just tired, it is all too much. I’ve lost too much, feel too much, battling too much…I’ve done it all for them and if it’s not doing them good, why keep doing it…

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Simply believing that our leaders will do what is right is irresponsible now. Trusting that everything will work out simply because it always tended work out in the past is a fool's delusion. . johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/no-its-not...

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

Nearly 13 million people in the U.S. hold green cards. Tens of thousands more are here temporarily as foreign students and professors. All are now in danger of being arrested by the Trump regime if they exercise their First Amendment rights.

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities. We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

No one is OK right now. At least, no one with working empathy and a knowledge of History who’s paying attention. It is an emotional impossibility to be living in days like one’s we’re in here and to be fully unaffected. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/its-ok-if-...

1. A new Texas bill outright criminalizes being transgender as felony fraud. It is one of the most alarming bills that I have ever seen. Though it stands little chance of passage, its rationale is already being used in other places and by the trump admin. Subscribe to support our journalism.

ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban. It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture. Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes. CALL YOUR DEMS! (info in next post)

Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

This thing that's going on is fascism. That may sound trite or alarmist or hyperbolic or political... but it's the clearest and most accurate word I have to describe Trumpism and Trump's second administration. And to refuse to use it would be to sacrifice truth for the sake of my reputation.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

And it looks like it’s official. Trump is ignoring court orders. The rubicon has been crossed.

They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.
