Mahmoud Khalil's arrest is deeply concerning. Free speech is the bed rock of our democracy, and deporting a lawful, legal resident for protest is a violation of our Constitution. The law is clear: only an immigration judge can revoke legal status. apnews.com/article/colu...

They literally removed the T from LGBTQ and erased any mention of trans people who were present at the Stonewall Riots. They're trying to erase us from history. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Wow! Inspiring news: The site of the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria riot has been inducted into the National Register of Historic Places (don’t tell the White House). Huge congrats to Susan Stryker - the historian who unearthed and elevated this important event in trans history. FYI: @altnps.bsky.social

Right now, transgender individuals are being used as a political weapon. It’s dangerous and unjust. To the trans community: I’m fighting for you, and I will always defend your right to be exactly who you are.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

The Social Security Administration has stopped allowing people to make changes to their sex identification with the federal agency, I reported exclusively overnight at Law Dork. The anti-transgender “emergency” change was issued on Friday and went into effect “immediately.”

This is a 5 alarm fire. They're going to pull down all publicly available data, studies, guidance, etc that involves LGBTQ people so when the worst happens to us, no one will know. They're actively trying to erase us. gizmodo.com/cdc-ordered-...

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.
