For at least half a century, the National Weather Service has been an around-the-clock operation. That is no longer possible in parts of the country.

TRANS FAMILY FACING POTENTIAL HOMELESSNESS

I’m a trans woman and mother of two still struggling to find a job and have been “indefinately denied” unemployment.
Our landlord has declined to renew our lease, and we are now facing potential homelessness.

Kinda feels like they’re preparing to not send Social Security checks to some people…

Yes, but also, an acknowledgement that government income could actually be increased substantially through returning to a tax structure at least a tiny bit closer to the post-war era would be nice, too.

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked.

Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care.

And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care!

AMAZING

I’m striking out so far this year. If you are a Hennepin County Library user, maybe you could also suggest these titles? Seems like they are quite pertinent.

(And a coda to the last one: they eventually did buy Marx for Cats, presumably due to popular demand.)

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Great news.

A transgender woman will NOT be transferred to a men's prison facility and forcibly detransitioned, at least for now.

Trump administration has been enjoined from doing so by a judge.

First win in court, as the case continues.

As this administration continues to use executive actions as a messaging platform - today around education - we also have the opportunity to speak up.

Let’s make sure our public schools are funded and supported to be places where our students can all learn and thrive.

BREAKING: Trump signs an executive order that attempts to restrict all schools that receive federal funds from protecting trans and nonbinary students or supporting diversity measures, while at the same time purporting to advance "patriotic education." www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Here's what I've learned so far (I'll keep sharing updates in a thread below):

I spoke to my county, school district and reached out to my cities. The phrase being used is "five alarm fire".

Federal workforce funds through DEED have been turned off, homeless housing providers can't draw on HUD $$

Last week it got down to -35° in International Falls. Yet Donald Trump appears to have just halted the bipartisan program that keeps folks’ heat on through the winter.

LIHEAP isn’t the *woke agenda.* It’s life or death for many Minnesotans.

Very grateful to MN AG, Keith Ellison.
(this is going to be a popular sentiment in the coming years.)

Want to know what’s wild? Denial of quorum is like, a normal legislative thing to do. What’s NEVER happened is the party without quorum just…play acting and going ahead like they have it. For example: Oregon state senate, 2019

Are you, or do you know, an athlete, a coach, a parent of a soccer-playing kid?

Gender Justice is now circulating an open letter in support of inclusion for trans athletes — you don’t have to be an athlete or coach or parent; everyone who opposes discrimination should add their name.
