The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

US lawyers: please offer to help out American trans people whose identity documents have been indefinitely seized by government when applying for passports.
I was blessedly helped similarly by a lawyer when I had the same happen here in Canada years ago. Writ of Mandamus.

If you're protesting tomorrow:
"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."
MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

People really out here acting like a genocide announces itself like
“Hello my honey hello my darling, I’m a Holocaust”
They don’t walk up to you and introduce themselves as “I am a genocide.”
You have to recognize the pattern and name it yourself. This is what Raphael Lemkin wanted us to do.

I just need you to understand the degree to which every columnist and pundit claiming they just wanted to "follow the science" or have more research on trans kids is just remarkably full of shit

As long as people are wishing for things, I think a good step for the Canadian government to take would be to introduce some kind of policy of specially allowed entry and/or asylum for transgender U.S. citizens who are being denied passports and are therefore effectively trapped in the country

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

For those unaware, in 1933, the first major Nazi book burning was of the first 30 years of research into trans and queer people, far before the concentration camps.

In the 20th century, they were known as "concentration camps." Now, they are simply called "housing."

I am getting spotty reports of hospital systems in blue states cancelling gender affirming care appointments for those under 19 years of age.
If true, this would be a major problem, as systems comply with illegal EOs in advance out of fear of DOJ weaponization.
Please let me know if yours has.
