Today, the University of Virginia Board of Visitors voted to defy the federal court ruling that blocked the executive order against providing gender-affirming care for patients under 19 and violate the Code of Virginia. Discrimination isn’t just wrong; it’s illegal. They’ll undoubtedly be sued.

Alongside 20 AGs, we’re supporting a challenge to President Trump’s executive order prohibiting transgender service members from serving in the military. The Trump Administration’s decision to single out and discriminate against transgender service members is an insult to all who serve.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

So let me see if i got this right. Republicans were crying constantly over history being "erased" because people didnt want to honor the traitors that were the confederacy. And yet its perfectly fine to erase the involvement trans Poc in the stonewall riots.

The only way for Trump to circumvent Bostock is to have the EEOC just ignore it. “My concern is that the refusal to recognize discrimination against trans people is both a way to scapegoat trans people and inflict immense damage on them." Remember: Trans-Rights is the canary in the coal mine.

Trump’s executive orders are not law. This doctor knows it. Many hospital systems know it. Those that comply with something not passed by congress and with power not constitutionally granted to the president are cowardly.

Reminder that whenever someone says "gender ideology," they're referring to the mere existence of trans people, not an ideology. This is eliminationist garbage.

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.
