It doesn’t matter if they’re “coming for you next.” Even if your position and your privilege will ALWAYS protect you and everyone you love, it is your job as a conscious human being to fight for justice. That’s just the way it fucking is.
You don’t get to abdicate that responsibility.

Notably, all of the anti-trans executive orders make it demonstrably clear that trans people are a quasi-suspect class under the equal protection clause and gender affirming care bans like Tennessee's should be subject to heightened scrutiny (intermediate)—not rational basis review.
BREAKING: DOJ sends a letter to SCOTUS regarding Skrmetti, the trans care care, asserting, first, that, “The Department has now determined that SB1 does not deny equal protection on account of sex or any other characteristic,” but, second, adding that the court should still decide the current case.
![Dear Mr. Harris:
This case concerns the constitutionality of Tennessee Senate Bill 1 (SB1), which prohibits healthcare providers from "[p)rescribing, administering, or dispensing any puberty blocker or hor-mone" if that treatment is provided "for the purpose" of "[e]nabling a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex" or "[t)reating purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity.
" Tenn. Code Ann.
§§ 68-33-102(5)(B), 68-33-103(a)(1). Last year, the United States filed briefs contending that SB 1 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The United States advanced the same position at oral argument. Following the change in Administration, the Department of Justice has reconsidered the United States' position in this case. The purpose of this letter is to notify the Court that the government's previously stated views no longer represent the United States' position.
This case began as a suit by private plaintiffs challenging the constitutionality of SB1.
After the private plaintiffs filed suit, the United States intervened under 42 U.S.C. 2000h-2 and filed its own complaint challenging the constitutionality of SB1. Section 2000h-2 authorizes intervention ey the nited Sises in an ittie oing creer licen the thial o asuas protectionl
public importance." 42 U.S.C. 2000h-2. The Department has now determined that SB1 does not deny equal protection on account of sex or any other characteristic. Accordingly, the new Administration would not have intervened to challenge SB1—let alone sought this Court's review of the court of appeals' decision reversing the preliminary injunction against SB1.
Nevertheless, the United States believes that the confluence of several factors counsels against seeking to dismiss its case in this Court. The Court's prompt resolution of the question presented will bear on many cases pending in the lower courts.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
