Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity." A sad day for this nation.

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...

I called & emailed my congresspeople today, left messages for my 2 senators & spoke to a staffer in my representative's office. I asked them to fund the U.S. science enterprise & expressed concern at the attacks on federal scientists & agencies. One call might not mean much, but it's not nothing.
