If you were going to donate to an organization that supports trans kids, which would it be and why? My first thought was my local PFLAG chapter, but then I thought maybe the Trevor Project or Lambda Legal needs it more

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism.

Project 2025's parent org is pushing it.

It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption.

On Thursday evening, news emerged that individuals within and outside of Trump administration were pushing to cast trans activists as domestic terrorists. Then, Project 2025 dropped its proposal.

“I remember when older men would tell me that the reason men died earlier than women was because they couldn’t stand to listen to their women talk anymore.”

I think the appropriate answer to these old guys is, “Hey, it’s okay to be gay now!”

“Lots of companies are waiting as long as they can before planning for the future, in hopes of catching a glimpse of what tariffs and AI and inflation and anti-immigration policies will do to their business, which means many are delaying hiring.”
I didn’t find any of the explanations for what’s going on with the bad job market for new college grads satisfying, so I spent a week trying to figure out what was up and what it means for the larger economy. Turns out it’s not AI! Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

In case anyone thought Gavin Newsom had grown a spine: he hasn’t. He’s still selling out trans kids so he can cozy up to conservative podcasters.
1. Yesterday, Newsom peddled anti-trans politics and far-right conspiracy theories about transgender people in a podcast, the latest example of many anti-trans actions taken by the governor.

We engage and explain.

The latest from S. Baum.

From a filing today, the State Department intends to revoke and replace transgender people's passports that are changed under a current court order if a higher court reverses the order.

This would be a major problem for trans people traveling.

State department guidance is now up for transgender people who want to change their gender marker on their passports.

Your window opens NOW to make it happen, with some caveats: data will be collected on changes.

EITM was the first media outlet to report this breaking development for trans people.

Also, we could use more silly-looking cars. So many new cars look like they’re making an angry or scared face. For example, the Mazda 3 went from smiling to mad. i.imgur.com/8KugnCD.jpg

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.
🧵
I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.

Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.
#Trans folks in the US who are reapplying for their passport to be fixed. Don't bother. Just had an emergency appointment today (I travel on the 30th) and they cannot issue me a corrected #passport. All decisions regarding this 'issue' are on hold until they receive guidance from the head office.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States.

A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports.

This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

Blocking universities from selling their product to foreigners will drive up the cost of tuition for Americans. More and more student debt for Americans.

I used to think these guys were smart
So, my takeaway here is that neither Derek nor Ben Thompson has EVER planned a kid's birthday party.

This kind of thing has to be done at least a month in advance. One week out, and there's no way you'll get an available bowling alley, let alone two. And no way more than two kids will show.
