Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

The courts alone will not save us. Musk is attacking the courts, and the Supreme Court is packed with ideologues who support Trump. Don't sit back and wait for the courts to fix things. This is a moment where we all need to step up and speak out. 🧪 bsky.app/profile/kyl...

Elon is going off on a tirade against the judge who enjoined DOGE from accessing sensitive systems. Make no mistake, this is an attempt to incite threats and violence against the judge and intimidate the judiciary as a whole.

First they came for trans people, and I did not speak out- because I avoid 'identity politics'. Then they came for the Palestinians - but I don't do 'purity politics'. Then they came for everyone but me - but I was waiting for the midterms. Then they came for me- and I was quite shocked tbh.

I remember when right-wing media said that I wasn’t qualified to be a member of Congress because of my credit card debt. My debt was nowhere near $1.2 million. Do they think the same of RFK Jr? Or does that standard only apply to young people? We know the answer.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Also, one of Trump’s great advantages is that he has very few things he actually believes in, which gives him a lot of latitude. But he has a genuine personal ideological zeal for tariffs. You can find him praising them in interviews 30 years ago.

Sorry for bringing over posts from the Bad Place but I must say that this is what happens when your entire thing is being a contrarian and you don't have a positive ideological platform: You get taken in by snake oil salesmen!
