AUDITS DONT DELETE WHOLE AGENCIES AND PROGRAMS AND LINES OF CRITICAL FUNDING FOR COMMUNITIES ACROSS AMERICA AND THE WORLD.

Anyone who replies “it’s just an audit is a FED, or a PSYOP, or a SHILL”.

Stop calling them bots, start calling them the government.

Unlike all those garbage “we fought a revolution over tariffs” takes, this one is essentially true.

The last time the U.S. picked a trade fight with Britain, it turned into a war with Canada… and ended with the White House on fire.

Let’s see how this one plays out.
The last time we went to war with Canada they came down here and burned down the White House.

During Trump's first term, some EPA scientists said managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. In some cases, they said, the managers deleted the information themselves.

EPA Scientists Said They Were Pressured to Downplay Harms From Chemicals. A Watchdog Found They Were Retaliated Against.
Three reports issued by the agency’s inspector general detailed personal attacks suffered by the scientists — including being called “stupid,” “piranhas” and “pot-stirrers” — and called on the EPA to…

Fetal 'heartbeats' are often used to justify abortion bans or why individuals needing abortions in banned states can't access them, even in life-threatening situations. But really, they're misleading and unfounded.

All those lying Trumpsters saying “he disavowed Project 2025”. Yeah, the liar lied. What a surprise.
16 of the 26 Day One executive orders signed by Trump were ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Russ Vought, an architect of Project 2025, testifies before the Senate today as Trump's OMB nominee.

Project 2025 was always the MAGA agenda.
Trump’s First Orders Parrot Project 2025 Manifesto He Disavowed
After distancing himself from the corporate policy agenda during his campaign, President Donald Trump is issuing executive orders torn straight from its pages.

I strongly advise you to get this into your mind and then to try and drill it into the minds of everyone you know. Do not comply in advance. These hateful authoritarian lunatics are incompetent and stupid. They are relying on you treating them with respect and compliance to achieve anything
TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.
Trump White House's first trans executive order is out. I'll be reading over it here and going through line by line to help you make sense of it.

In some cases, authoritarians will hand you what seems like a tool to criticise them or exercise your rights.

Whenever they do this, they are in fact handing you the tools to let them monitor and police you remotely. #tiktok

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

I wish conservatives would learn WHY they hold certain opinions instead of going for the old "ha, typical blue-haired liberal!" plotline. It just screams ignorant and uneducated.
