I am voting no on the CR. Trump and Musk are taking a wrecking ball to vital services for veterans, seniors and kids. I will not support a bill that helps them do it. I will support a clean 30 day CR.

Those who would break down the barriers between church & state always imagine their own tribe in charge & making the rules for all.

They should imagine the tribe they dislike most having control over their lives.

The 2nd scenario will definitely be someone's reality.

What would've been the rating of what the Nazis did to Jews in early 1933? Revoking of civil rights protections, elimination from civil service, and policies singling them out for discrimination despite being 1% of the population. Inconsequential as well?

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism.

Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records.

This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity.

DHS has removed manual guidance barring investigations solely based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

This is a prerequisite to targeting the LGBTQ community with criminal investigations solely based on being LGBTQ.

Just read "They Thought They Were Free." if you think that people will suddenly wake up and realize what is happening and how wrong they were, you're solely mistaken. People will adapt and stay under the spell of authoritarianism. Even when the horrors are exposed, they'll think it wasn't that bad.

PSA: Trans Americans! Do not try to seek Asylum in Canada yet!

To seek asylum you must prove you (as an individual, not a member of trans group) are in *immediate danger*

If you get turned away claiming asylum you will not be allowed to re-apply!

So hang tight until rules get updated.

Everyone needs to understand - every hospital withholding healthcare from trans children will do the same to trans adults as soon as the orders come down.

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.

This is the biggest danger of Trump's EOs.

They are not law, and yet Denver Health is complying in advance, ending all trans surgeries under 19 years of age, including chest masculinization - a rare, but much needed surgery for some trans teens.

In case I wasn’t clear, do NOT attempt to get your passport changed anymore, that avenue is likely closed until we get litigation.

You still have time for your drivers licenses.

Just renewed my drivers license for RealID. I advise every transgender person, just as I did with passports, to not wait to renew your ID. Get that done now - many states let you do it online, schedule appointments, etc.

Don't get caught flat footed if/when Trump turns RealID against us.

So we have the answer for one question people were asking... people's gender markers are being changed back even for renewals, if they had an existing passport in a different gender even as a kid:

I knew this was going to happen. Court orders don't do much good if the Trump administration simply ignores them.

Fundamentally, the only real power a judge has to compel an administration to abide by court orders is the threat of jailing people for contempt of court.
“NSF has received an email from its director to ignore the judge's stay of Trump's order and implement the spending pause.”

If enough time passes, an otherwise healthy person can start to get used to sickness.

They can slowly begin to convince themselves that almost any horrifying, toxic, painful, twisted reality is acceptable.
