1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.
Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.

One of my tools as a critic had been a Twitter list called, "Top Journalism Linkers." Designed so that I could survey the space. It was the first thing I read in the morning. When I left it had 6.8K users.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

I usually leave a new laptop sticker-free for a few months. I've had this MacBook Air for over a year and have finally broken it in with a #sticker from @molly.wiki, which arrived last week and is even more timely now than when I ordered it.
