Last #TransDayOfVisibility, we launched the SpeakOUT campaign to uplift trans & nonbinary voices! 🏳️‍⚧️

From centering experiences of our trans plaintiffs to highlighting the fight for healthcare at the Supreme Court, SpeakOUT has been a beautiful vessel for uplifting trans & nonbinary power.

On #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we honor the memory of the more than 6 million Jews and countless others who suffered the horrors of the Holocaust.

I can’t believe I even have to say this, but Nazi salutes are absolutely unacceptable & should be unequivocally condemned by all.

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.

Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."
SUBJECT: Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs 'The American people elected Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar. In Fiscal Year 2024. of the nearly $10 trillion that the Federal Government spent, more than $3 trillion was Federal financial assistance, such as grants and loans. Career and political appointees in the Executive Branch have a duty to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities. Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing Administration priorities, focusing taxpayer dollars to advance a stronger and safer America, eliminating the financial burden of inflation for citizens, unleashing American energy and manufacturing, ending wokeness" and the weaponization of government, promoting efficiency in government, and Making America Healthy Again. The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve.

You're expelling highly trained members of our military who take the same oath and meet the same rigorous standards. Trans people serve our country honorably every day. They are not the problem here.

This tirade against “wokeness” is the problem. In fact, it makes us less safe.

Trans people deserve dignity, respect, and safety.

Trump's executive order seeks to limit our fundamental right to be ourselves and threatens to erase trans people from public life.

We won't back down until every trans person feels safe in our state — and our country.

For those interested in politics, don’t ignore AI. AI models will further change politics into something that is probably unrecognizable.

Just like a TikTok algo can get what it wants in front of you, campaigns will figure out how to get information to get you to vote , OUTSIDE of your phone/PC

Remember when we were arguing about the term "foundation models"? It feels like ages ago! With those base models culminating in DeepSeek v3 in Dec 2024, 2025 will likely be the year of LLM specialization!
