I don't see any mainstream outlets covering what's happening with trans rights. I saw a single interview with Sarah McBride on MSNBC but that's it. What is happening is a systematic assault on trans rights and the silence is deafening.

Genuinely not sure how we are supposed to communicate and organize meaningful resistance to the current government leaves me feeling like the USA will go quietly similar to how Russia did with Putin's take over. It seems like everyone I know IRL is still counting on precedent and the courts.
