Another in a long line of attacks by Paxton, very much following Trump's example of disregarding the courts. Article by Denny @likethediner.bsky.social

we HAVE to be actively working on expanding/connecting trans-only local networks. we HAVE to treat any trans interaction with a known exterminationist govt for anything related to id/healthcare/custody/travel/etc without the benefit of advance community knowledge as a community fucking failure.

Trump's attack dog(e) just nixed a study on alternative menstrual products over an offhand mention of trans men. This comes less than a year after a study found arsenic and lead in dozens of the most commonly used tampons. Is this protecting women?

"The threats facing Ellis ... highlight the real-life impact of disinformation for transgender people at a time when there has been a sharp uptick in the political rhetoric against them." Important story from @anujchopra.bsky.social 👇

1️⃣ Worcester, MA, just voted to become a sanctuary city for trans people, barring local officials from helping criminalize gender-affirming care. Right-wing media mocked the move—but if trans rights aren’t under attack, why would a city need to do this? 🧵

shout out to the time a top editor at a very prominent dc politics publication told me and i quote “we will never under any circumstances publish a story that makes people who don’t support trans rights look like bigots”

The fact that “neutral” pundits continue to carry water for the lie that a majority of Americans support what is happening to trans people is further evidence that “neutrality” isn’t journalism at all. It’s not holding power to account. It’s reinforcing power and repeating propaganda

When people speak derisively about “activism” and “activists” they’re typically referring to marginalized people speaking about their lived experiences of oppression in a way that is intended to undermine their credibility

According to legislative trackers online we’ve already had over 540 pieces of anti trans legislation filed in 2025. Seven of those bills have passed. What the federal government is doing is horrifying, but locally so much damage is being attempted too. translegislation.com

20 years ago in Florida we wrote all the time about the dangers of climate change & sea level rise. Now that it’s here, and bad, no one acknowledges they were wrong. It became “the insurance crisis.”

Good analysis by @jaredlholt.bsky.social here. The suspect in Indiana seems to have existed within the same subcultural milieu as the Madison and Nashville shooter. A subculture that has the aesthetics of far-right extremism and worships violence but is seemingly unmoored from ideology…/1

This is a sad day, but I am so grateful for everyone in my home state show up again and again to keep up the fight for young trans Kansans. Gov. Kelly vetoed this bill three times. Young people have been able to access care because of ceaseless advocacy.

You might've read about how Project 2025 is being implemented in real time, but at @mmfa.bsky.social, we'll hand you the magnifying glass and show you the finer details. From me, here's how Trump's anti-trans EOs mirror Project 2025, down to similar language. www.mediamatters.org/project-2025...

A network working to end female genital mutilation says that President Donald Trump’s executive order attempting to restrict gender-affirming care for transgender youth “wrongly and dangerously” conflates the two. Crucial reporting from @jazzmyth.bsky.social

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?

I mean, I've known it as the Gulf of Mexico for years, I should still be able to call it that. How can you expect everyone to go along with this all of a sudden? In 100 years archaeologists will find know it started as the Gulf of Mexico anyway...
