Major breaking trans news: The ACLU has launched a lawsuit on behalf of 7 transgender people affected by Trump’s passport ban.

Incredible filing. The Trump admin is now swarmed with lawsuits over discriminatory and illegal executive orders.

This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO.

Docs to come.

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system.

There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.

Comer and Mace need to be held accountable. Comer has frequently been biased and rules in favor of Mace acting out of control in multiple incidents without even the slightest reprimand. He fails in his job as chair and needs to be removed, she fails as a rep and needs to be removed.
1. Yesterday, Representative Nancy Mace shouted an anti-trans slur into the microphone at a congressional hearing three times in a row.

When pointed out that she was egregiously breaking decorum, the chair ruled she was not.

No one knows what caused last night's tragic crash outside DCA.

Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released.

But here is what we do know. (1/7)

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Just released memorandum from OPM:

Federal facilities will now have a bathroom ban for transgender people.

It will go into effect on the 31st.

It also has a slew of effects and puts into place the 1st anti-trans EO policies for every agency.

This will have a ton of impacts very quickly.

Cis folks, check on your trans friends right now. I don't ever think I've seen this many friends in crisis. It's beyond anything I ever imagined. We're not ok.

52 years ago, Roe v. Wade secured the reproductive rights women fought for. In 2022, Dobbs overturned it & 22 states restricted our freedoms.

2 days ago, Trump took down reproductiverights.gov. But @reprocaucus.bsky.social will continue to share abortion resources. Your body, your choice!

They set up a snitch line for DEI in the federal government. If you feel like sending your best copies of the bee movie script or some queer smut, have at it.

Trump’s ‘Gender Ideology’ order creates a federal mandate defining gender as the sex of an embryo at conception.

Impacts: As all embryos have female sex characteristics at conception, all Americans are now defined as female under this order. (3/3)
