1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired. This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Latest Medicare Advantage enrollment data are (finally) out: 3.1% annual growth, lowest growth rate in loooong time. MA has become a saturated market filled w/ criticism over its bloated payment system & care denials. Read to see how big insurers fared: www.statnews.com/2025/02/26/m...

This new reporting is a very big deal. The previously reported number for the amount of money Elon Musk has gotten from the government—us—was slightly over $18 billion. We now know the figure is $38 billion. When you consider how much of Musk's wealth is actually liquid—very little—that is a ton.

This can only go badly. 500K women in the NCAA would have to accurately supply a blood or other dna sample, and then tested. #NCAA #transwomen #womeninsports 19thnews.org/2025/02/texa...

Assigned was on the ground and in the Discord, reporting on the historic return to the streets of foundational trans rights activist group Transexual Menace, @transexualmenace.bsky.social @valorievandieman.bsky.social has our story, with photos and additional reporting by Simon Feisthauer Fournet.

“Make 5 Calls” is an excellent easy tool to use to contact your congressional representatives to express your support or opposition to an issue. Make a habit of checking it every day, reviewing the hottest, most imminent issues, and making some calls. 5calls.org?fbclid=IwZXh...

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

Looks like another protest heading for Stonewall this Saturday, likely even bigger than the one last week.

I reckon it don't matter who you're hating, its likely its all taught... youtu.be/vWkJPL2Dt9A?...

Very helpful words from Kottke... kottke.org/25/02/pitchi...

Of course it is a scam. They are using stochastic terrorism to create/amplify a trans panic as a distraction for their grift and power grab. We are not just the target, but also the scapegoat to achieve their goals. 1/

👋 @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Where is the Trans in your plans? @crooksandliars.bsky.social #TransRightsAreHumanRights

And another of Trump's anti-trans Exec Orders gets temporarily blocked. Trans federal prisoners will still get their hormone & not get transferred to ASAB facilities while the case is tried. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

One GOP proposal takes aim squarely at parents raising children on their own by eliminating the “head of household” filing status to reap some $200B more in taxes over a decade from single parents and other adults caring for dependents on their own.

So, did President Trump outright ignore the law here by telling the AG to ignore the TikTok ban the Supreme Court unanimously approved? daringfireball.net/2025/01/npr_...

EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT: Assigned Media will be doing our first ever live Twitch stream this Monday. Our trans journalists are counterprogramming the Trump inauguration. They'll play games, goof off, answer questions, and update you on the news, occasionally. We've even got a special guest!

@thisisjaimek.bsky.social Hi Jaime!

Hopefully not the direction we are going in the USA....

I found this article very interesting about how immigration has been limited already through Mexican & USA collaboration. It seems that continuing that collaboration & expanding it would continue to be helpful. And add in a resubmitted Border Bill of 2024 too, see: www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

fuckin harrowing piece. real easy to imagine ending up like this. in this country it only takes one stroke of serious bad luck if you don't have A LOT of money www.esquire.com/news-politic...

As angry as we are, I have agree with @transrigo.bsky.social and A4TE. When active, the Transexual Menace's approach was (still is) to confront with Love. There are times throw bricks and times to sow seeds. 1/

Our protections continue to hold for now. "[...] ruling that appellate and Supreme Court precedents had established that the protections of Title IX and the 14th Amendment applied to transgender individuals."

The big story here seems to be that NYT set out on a fishing expedition to find Dems willing to suggest that trans people cost them the election. NYT's anti-trans bias is undefeated.
