Incredible news. After immense pressure and threats of protest, Children's Wisconsin has reinstated treatment for at least one trans teen under its care.

Several hospitals across the country determined their fear of Trump's illegal EO was more important than their trans patients.

The order is being challenged in court as illegal and unconstitutional.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.

The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million
Louisiana coerced unhoused people into an unheated warehouse – and paid $17.5m for it
Dozens of New Orleanians were bused to a site with insufficient heating and blankets days before the city is to host the Super Bowl

people keep tagging me in fuck around and find out content like I haven’t been talking about how pandemics lead to fascism since 2020.

The “find out” portion isn’t just for everyone who doesn’t consider themself a liberal—it’s for them too.

Haven’t masked in 4 years? FAAFO.

1. Yesterday, Trump released a broad anti-trans executive order that could have extreme impacts on transgender people's lives if implemented.

There has been much discussion of what it actually does.

In my latest piece, I go line by line to explain it.

A Line By Line Analysis Of Trump's Big Anti-Trans Executive Order
Trump released over 70 executive orders on Monday. While orders on immigration and climate got a lot of attention, his anti-transgender order could have sweeping impacts as well.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Personally, the best way to gauge someone's political alignment is to determine their opinion on libraries without calling it one.

An unfettered system of access to resources to use and learn from, with no identification required, based entirely on a system of trust, funded by everyone.

Are they/them pronouns gender-neutral? Should we use them as default? Should we just assume based on gender presentation?

I wrote an essay with my thoughts about this recurring discourse, using the lens of the 'conflicting access need' from disability spaces.

Thinking a lot about what a big impact you can have by joining or organizing a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Be organized. Know your neighbors. Have a plan. Look out for those who are most vulnerable.

Immigration, as means of upholding colonial values and structures, is a horrid ( & wildly expensive) system to navigate. Especially here in the US.
someone with a fair amount of power over me keeps asking if i’m moving to canada and, like, no matter how many times i explain what that process looks like and that it is very likely canada (or anywhere) would not want me, they do not believe immigration could be hard.
Friends outside the country either think I am not well to stay in America or they don’t understand why we’re upset.

I cannot stop thinking about every disabled person who can’t evacuate these SoCal fires, whether it’s because they physically can’t leave or they don’t have the resources to. When we say our systems are designed to leave disabled folks behind to die, this is a prime example.

Actually.
How did the tech bro crowd, growing up on stories of sci-fi, transhumanism, virtual reality and limitless ability to modify one's body, "biohacking," etc. end up becoming so viscerally anti-transgender? Truly boggles my mind.
