ngl when trans women win at chess/darts/programming/esports, I feel happy because it leaves feminists in a catch-22 that opens an IQ/variance can of worms. when a trans woman wins at any other physical sport, I see it as a PR nightmare for the years to come.

Just released memorandum from OPM: Federal facilities will now have a bathroom ban for transgender people. It will go into effect on the 31st. It also has a slew of effects and puts into place the 1st anti-trans EO policies for every agency. This will have a ton of impacts very quickly.

I am getting spotty reports of hospital systems in blue states cancelling gender affirming care appointments for those under 19 years of age. If true, this would be a major problem, as systems comply with illegal EOs in advance out of fear of DOJ weaponization. Please let me know if yours has.

I truly believe the only chance we have is through protests at hospitals that are complying with executive orders in advance. These hospitals are attempting to detransition patients or deny transition to new ones because they are scared of Trump.

Great news. A transgender woman will NOT be transferred to a men's prison facility and forcibly detransitioned, at least for now. Trump administration has been enjoined from doing so by a judge. First win in court, as the case continues.

1. School systems across the United States are declaring they will not comply with Trump's anti-trans executive order. MCPS, Maryland said they will fiercely protect their teacher sand students. Columbus City Public Schools president: "bring it on." Subscribe to support my journalism.

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order: "It does nothing" "It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach" Will not comply.

Democrats should absolutely be chasing after EVERY Trump abuse, EVERY absurdity. The conventional wisdom that it's a "distraction" and Dems need discipline and focus is completely wrong. That wisdom spreads because it sounds nice, but it's what Dems have done until now, and IT DOESN'T WORK.

This is great. The reason Trump can't freeze these programs isn't because it hurts people, although it does, and that's awful. It's because CONGRESS PASSED A LAW. It's CONGRESS that is in charge here, NOT the president, because the president is NOT A KING.

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.

www.economist.com/united-state... Really simplistic and shitty piece by @jessesingal.com that almost exclusively relies on a far-right extremist as his source for the legal narrative about trans rights. I am tired of conservatives,these people deserve no respect and must be defeated mercilessly.

APRIL RYAN: Have you got any word on whether the administration will celebrate Black History Month? LEAVITT: As far as I know, this White House certainly still intends to celebrate and we will continue to celebrate American history and the contributions that all Americans have made

Here's the thing: THERE IS NO QUICK TRICK TO CAPTURING ATTENTION OR WINNING THE DEBATE. You can't come up with a slogan or a technique that just auto-wins and grabs public attention. Stuff like using little words, or a clever line, or connecting things to the price of eggs are tricks and don't work

Meals on Wheels America spox on OMB pause: "the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

Attacks on abortion and trans rights are disturbingly similar—and the Skrmetti arguments at the Supreme Court were a prime example. The playbook: Claiming bans aren’t bans Making flawed global comparisons Weaponizing consent and regret Invoking eugenics *Leaving human rights to the states

Look either the entire US economy turned around sometime in the month of November, or the economy really was great and we’ve just been mainlining media doomerism all along

And also now the homeless can't get abortions. Forced to birth a kid they can't support. Terrible.
