In other headlines, dog bites man.
Of course the anti-trans folks are full of shit on women's athletics. They're using salami slicing tactics. First disappear trans women from women's sports. Then disappear (or at least deeply diminish) women's sports, full stop.

A shorter version of this is circulating but its worth watching the longer segment, particularly Vance's glances throughout and Trump's seeming scoff at the end. One of them actually claims to be a Christian.
If you watch only one short video today, make it this one. Remarkable bravery, and the looks on the various faces could be material for a dissertation on gender, the family, and authoritarianism. youtu.be/gVInX42IQD8?...

Last time, Donald failed to honor his oath to protect the Constitution.
This time, he didn't even pretend to make that oath.

As expected, Trump’s first day in office brought chaos. Immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and federal programs were all targeted in his first wave of executive orders—but not everything will stick. The Big Picture breaks it all down in this handy guide to Trump's most deplorable day one actions.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Initially I thought the TikTok ban was a dumb over reaction by ill informed politicians that didn't think through what they were doing. After watching their US CEO absolutely glaze Donald Trump after deliberately shutting their servers off for 12 hours I immediately deleted my account - gross
