1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban.

A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide.

It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months.

The new federal rule formalizes previous threats to hospitals to pull Medicaid funding, and represents a significant legal stretch by this administration.

All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. He has brought the office down so low in such a short time. Other presidents have tried but none have come close to this.

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

BUY SOMETHING!

Is it truly social media anymore? Or is it more like selling media? It invades everything.

It's obvious to wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet don't care for nature, climate, the earth or the universe.

So I painted the invasive nature of ads in nature.

For any fellow social workers out there. I am firmly anti-AI; it should be against our code of ethics for our profession to use, especially entering client information. We do not have research showing the mental health effects of it, and we know that AI literally coaches people on un-aliving… ugh.

The Republicans have really backed themselves into the corner.

They can’t negotiate with Democrats because as soon as Congress comes back, and they swear in Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva, Congress will take a vote to release any lists or names associated with Epstein.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
