i don't know if i've ever felt more hopeless than watching an elderly black man get dragged out of the room for calling out fascism while dozens of white people sat silently with their lollipop signs and watched and did nothing

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.
This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on!
Huge win for trans people in MT!

more and more these days, I find myself thinking that you can accept the discipline of your political goals or you can accept the discipline of your resentments.
Seeing a lot of “But they don’t deserve…” And no, of course they don’t. What the fuck does that have to do with anything? The house is on fire. Pass a bucket to whoever wants to put it out. You can remind them what an ass they’ve been later.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me."
Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

From a federal court decision blocking Trump's anti-trans healthcare order: "The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist."
![Section 3(g) of the Gender Identity Order is admittedly slightly vaguer than Section 4 of
the Healthcare Order in that it only proscribes the use of "[fJederal [grant] funds [to] promote
gender_ idcology."
The Gender Identity Order, appears, however, to deny the existence of
transgender persons altogether. See Gender Identity Order $ 1 (describing the purpose of the order
as "defend[ing] women's rights and protect[ing] freedom of conscience by using clear and accurate
language and policies that recognize women are biologically female, and men are biologically

male"); id. $ 2 ("It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.
These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality.")
The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy
resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist. Thus, Section
3(g) of the Gender Identity Order can only be read as doing exactly what Section-4 of the
Healthcare Order does
cease funding institutions, including medical institutions, that provide
gender affirming medical care to patients under the age of nineteen.
Thus, as with Section 4 of
Healthcare Order, Kadel mandates a similar finding of discrimination as to Section 3(g) of the
Gender Identity Order.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mlmouohgzbjofidukcp4pxf2/bafkreifbrt37exq6fjaxqrit6kxtuoqkkl47uxsuoylsryumtv6bbfx7zy@jpeg)

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

A) saying fuck around and find out and making fun of poor people
B) working with mutual aid orgs to deliver food and do ideological work at the same time, educating them and providing them resources at the same time

it’s insane that rightwingers have created a social and legal ecosystem where if any murder becomes a political issue, the right will ensure they get off free and then immediately pipeline them to the upper echelons of their society, rewarding them as the pawns they are

I am so heartbroken. I got to know Elisa two years ago when she came to me with hundreds of emails of anti-trans legislators scheming around restricting trans rights. I helped get her story told by the New York Times and Washington Post. She deserved so much better.
RIP.
RIP.
I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.
