Clearer than ever Newsom is an anti-immigrant, anti-trans, slime-y, spineless grifter & nepo baby.
Gavin Newsom calls Kilmer Abrego Garcia a “distraction” @washingtonpost.com
What an absolute disgrace he has become.
Beyond repulsive and shameful.

we made a critical error allowing reactionaries to make-up concepts like “biological sex” and frame them as non-ideological when it’s the exact opposite: people who undergo HRT *are literally changing their biological sex.* this is not some philosophical distinction, it is actual biological reality.

"We only have each other, at least for as long as it takes for them to disappear us, too. But what I know they can never take, what cannot be stolen from me or pressured out of me, what is inalienable is the knowledge of who and what I am. A woman, illegally."
What will happen to us un-women? My thoughts on today’s UK Supreme Court decision excluding trans women from the legal category of women. Over at Autostraddle: www.autostraddle.com/uk-supreme-c...
Illegally Female
The UK's Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that trans women are not legally considered women.

Administration advises all foreign students, staff, and faculty to postpone or reconsider (ie cancel) international travel, due to federal government's crackdown on universities.
Brown also warns against *domestic travel* -since it's unclear what ICE will do.

Y'all this is REALLY BAD. They disappeared a Palestinian activist green card holder who is married to a US citizen. He could literally be ANYWHERE 🌍 right now! ICE claims they cancelled his green card, something no judge has ruled on yet. Columbia colluded w/ ICE to make this happen.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

These are not "transgender mice"
These are mouse models used to determine the effects of certain medications on health. You know, the thing even those opposed to transgender healthcare often state we should be doing.
