1. Far right federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has just vacated all EEOC protections for gay and trans people in the work place.
He says protections from "being fired" do not mean they are protected from harassment by Title VII.
I cover this insane ruling here.

The sheer evil and depravity of US immigration officials is beyond belief. Everyone involved should be named and shamed for this.

Ken Klipperstein leaked full passport guidance for trans people:
- X markers will be a focal point
- Existing unexpired passports will remain good
- No guidance on confiscation, but it doesn’t seem like they will
- Renewals less clear but it looks like they will use “a preponderance of evidence”

We're seeing Neimöller's famous "first they came for" poem play out in real time and every institution is failing to meet the moment.
All this administration does is put every single nonprofit and institution into a trolley problem of either sacrificing trans people or hurting everyone else by eliminating federal funding.
It won't end with us. They'll do this with every minority until it's only white men who are left.

It's infuriating that I feel the need to browse for body armor this morning. Our existence is being systematically erased, and the anxiety is taking my mind to places I do not enjoy going. I am a being of peace, but to protect myself and those I love, I am willing to do what I must. All my love. 🖤❤️🏳️⚧️

Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.
This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.
He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.
