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

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.

Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care. The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care. This one at UVA Hospital.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

The president is required to faithfully execute laws. The spending bill previously agreed to by Congress is law. Therefore, Trump refusing to execute that bill is a violation of the law, and another impeachable offense. In a normal world, that is.

Donald Trump and Russ Vought -- who are behind these funding freezes -- are happily murdering people with these decisions: Medicaid is frozen, Suicide Prevention, including for veterans, frozen. These people are monsters and should be treated as such

1. Yesterday, Trump's executive order crossed a new line. No longer are the NYT Op-eds, thin veneers of pseudoscience, and false claims about trans people needed to justify discrimination. We enter an era where our humanity itself is officially questioned. Subscribe to support my journalism.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

The new "sex and gender" executive order does nothing but make trans people's lives more difficult than they already are. Trans prisoners will be raped more, trans federal employees will be discriminated against more, and trans travelers will be subject to unneeded hassle. For nothing.

How long do we figure it will take for Trump and his racist inner circle to take aim at the National Museum of African American History and Culture for presenting the truth about America rather than the rah rah bullshit they proclaim as history? Better get ready to fight...

So Trump has essentially set up a way for foreign governments to directly bribe him and to enrich himself off of his office more than anyone in history using crypto.

A federal court has ruled that Florida can detransition inmates. Some trans inmates are having estrogen pulled, hair shorn, and put through state-run conversion therapy. This is the cruelty of abandoning incarcerated trans people. The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

1. Montana will be the first state to hear an anti-trans bill in 2025 - an adult bathroom ban with 35 Republican cosponsors - on Friday. This as Republicans nationwide are prioritizing trans people in bathrooms, especially trans legislators McBride and Zephyr. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Honestly surprised people are freaking out over Facebook. I left it because it became a far right hellsite like 5 years before Twitter did. It's been that way for a very long time.

If artist organisations, music publications, and blogs - the lifeblood of new music, stopped using Spotify for playlists / links it would be a hell of a lot easier for artists to leave the platform. I'm no Spotify fan but some unity in the community is the way forward.
