Nothing in these EOs legally mandates or prohibits gender-affirming care—health care providers complying in advance are betraying their Hippocratic oath and harming trans youth.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

JUST IN: A judge has enjoined President Trump's effort to block federal funds from going toward grant recipients who engage in DEI practices. The judge says the orgs are likely to succeed on claims that this is viewpoint discrimination, among other issues storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

Shrinking had a whole episode where everyone acted like it was normal to fetishize adopting a “mixed race” baby In case anyone was wondering why so many adoptees say that adoption is human trafficking that treats children like a commodity, often in a way that commodifies people of color

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

My weekly list of must-read articles, some organizing resources, and a reflection on the ascent of Kash Patel. What should we expect from an FBI headed by a Trump acolyte? How can our communities prepare? I have some thoughts, history, and resources to share on the subject.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Last week, JD Vance gave Europe an ultimatum: it can align with the Trump administration, or face its wrath. To comply, Europe needs to embrace the extreme right, repeal tech rules the US “will not accept,” and allow Silicon Valley to dominate its market. It should tell the US to take a hike.
