So if you get that OPM email, my only advice is to recognize (1) it is asking you to give them an excuse to fire you (2) it will be processed by an LLM. If you want to leave, good luck to you, thank you for your service. If not, reply in a way designed to not give their LLM bot those free excuses.

Finally a link to the order! The judge skipped a TRO to enter a prelim. Injunction against the "anti DEIA" executive orders based on free speech and due process. Solid reasoning too.

You can always take it back to @blackamazon.bsky.social: DOES BABY HAVE HAT Put a hat on a baby. Feed someone a meal. Do one small thing to make the world materially easier for someone else. All we have is each other.

Thread about why we take Trump's stupid nonsense seriously. Have it in your pocket for when some Right-wing asshat tries to tell you to "lighten up, Francis".

I'm so tired of calling my rep and senators, leaving voicemails that are never returned, asking questions that are never answered. I'm still doing it, but I'm very tired of it.

1st Cir., per curiam, holds that it does not violate parental rights for school to use a student's requested pronouns and requested name at school without informing the parents. Of note, the decision uses "they/them" throughout to refer to the student. www.ca1.uscourts.gov/sites/ca1/fi...

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!

I love all of this because bad faith arguers should be ripped to shreds. But I'm already dreading the inevitable "judge is biased because she's lgbtq" line of bullshit that is inevitably coming.

ATTN: Since the White House only posted the Fact Sheet of his ~only the president and AG can say what the law is~ EO, I moved the email of the actual EO, which was sent to the press list from the Office of Communications, into a PDF and posted it.

Although Judge Chutkan declined to issue a temporary restraining order against DOGE for now, she made it pretty clear that she thinks Elon Musk is wielding executive power unconstitutionally—and may take action to stop him in the near future. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
