To be clear: I have been busy with, well, yeah, but fuck JK Rowling and the anti-trans hate she happily basks in. (And fuck everyone over on this side of the ocean who decided that hating on a minority population like she has was the right approach to feeling better about yourself.)

Maine won a TRO against the feds for attempting to withhold federal funds based on Title IX without following the proper procedure. This was all triggered by Governor Mills standing up to Trump re the state's inclusive policies for trans athletes.

Aggressive and often unconstitutional immigration policies are testing the law and the courts. At the same time, the Trump administration is testing — and breaking — the government.

Montana's anti-trans bathroom ban is BLOCKED by the courts.
The judge finds that the ban was "motivated by animus" and that it showed no evidence that it protects safety and privacy.

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Making this even better is that Pritzker gave this speech in California.
"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

I have seen it reported as a national ban on trans care and it just isn’t that. My anticipation is it will broadly reduce insurance coverage primarily on marketplace plans and red states and possibly purple ones will see lessening of insurance coverage.
