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.
#Trans folks in the US who are reapplying for their passport to be fixed. Don't bother. Just had an emergency appointment today (I travel on the 30th) and they cannot issue me a corrected #passport. All decisions regarding this 'issue' are on hold until they receive guidance from the head office.

A man driving into a crowd, killing 9, during a cultural festival isn't terrorism because we expect that sometimes, drivers make oopsieses and murder people with their cars.

“It was like seeing a bowling ball hit — all the bowling pins and all the pins flying up in the air."

Nine people confirmed dead this morning.

Police say it was not an act of terrorism.

We await more details about the driver and what led to the incident.

MAJOR Victory in Montana!

Bill that would criminalize parents with felony child endangerment DIES in Montana after 15 Republicans cross party lines.

The bill would have criminalized even parents of trans kids driving through the state.

It died after nonbinary rep Howell delivered a strong speech.

The days of "Don't be evil" are long gone.

Youtube removes "gender identity" as a protected status and allows people to call trans people mentally ill.
SCOOP: YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy. "YouTube quietly removing ‘gender identity and expression’ from its list of protected groups is a major radical shift away from best practices in the field of trust and safety."
