1. The military has announced in a new filing that it will ask all soldiers if they have "symptoms" of being transgender.

The filing appears designed to target both out transgender people, as well as those living closeted or stealth.

Military Will Now Ask Soldiers If They Have "Symptoms" Of Being Trans
The document, filed in the Trump military ban court cases, raises more questions than it answers.

NEW: Shortly after Pam Bondi was sworn in Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asked her to drop the Department of Justice’s lawsuit challenging the state’s 2021 voter suppression law, S.B. 202.

I warned you, Raffensperger is no hero. He is a GOP vote suppressor.

A group of anonymous authors has published this well-sourced memorandum on Musk and the Neoreactionary movement. Please share widely. The threat is not well understood. Take a moment to read the one page executive summary now; then call Congress.

I just went to find resources I use in my work from the SGMRO NIH office (Sexual and Gender Minority Research Office) and it's ALL GONE!!! ALL of the Resources and access to the office.
I'm begging people to PLEASE call your legislators- this is taxpayer money and helps the most vulnerable among us.

Facts. Love Adam’s insights
The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.”

Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.

The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

Alright all - I'm stepping away for this evening. I'll be back in later tonight to see if there's any more updates.

Stay safe, if you're trans, stay with us, we are not giving up.

And most of all... these EOs are not law, they are not passed by congress, do NOT comply.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
