1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports. He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth. It's so much worse than being reported. Subscribe to support my journalism.

"Interim D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin demanded that the dean of Georgetown Law School end all diversity, equity and inclusion efforts...asserting in a letter that his office will not consider hiring anyone affiliated with a university that utilizes DEI." www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

so good. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Trans people are being treated as if our lives are collateral damage in a fight we didn’t choose. When the first NIH funding cuts target research that support us, it’s hard to believe this is coincidental. These decisions have real consequences for trans lives, and we cannot afford to look away.

“We believe this rush to comply is a sign that universities are willing to become an institutional wing of the new segregationists.” www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Please submit a comment on the ridiculous anti-trans passport proposals driven by an ignorant, non-scientific view of sex & gender. These individuals have a hard enough time in our society without such institutional punishment simply for being who they are. indivisiblesf.org/call-scripts...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Looks like all submitted, under review papers with CDC researchers are being clawed back… …ostensibly b/c “DEI EO” so racism & white supremacy. Fascists will burn everything to the ground if they get to be in power over the ashes. www.usnews.com/news/world/a...

We've created a tracker that covers all executive orders affecting LGBTQ folks along with federal and state legislation. We're at 334 anti-LGBTQ bills. docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Credit @alli.gay @erininthemorning.com @evanurquhart.bsky.social @miralazine.bsky.social @lizsaila.bsky.social

Academic Skyers: I am compiling a list of policies and statements from various universities about how they are handling the "pause" in terms of stopping expenditures (or not). Please respond to this post with your institution and materials. THANK YOU!
