1. Yesterday, millions showed up to the No Kings Rally.
Perhaps no one Rally was as full of subtext as Boston's, however.
Senator Markey showed up wearing a trans pride flag. His challenger, anti-trans Dem Rep. Seth Moulton showed up to boos and jeers.

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.
This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.
Only 20 Dems opposed.

But it is the breadth of the storm that is impressive.

A transgender woman will NOT be transferred to a men's prison facility and forcibly detransitioned, at least for now.
Trump administration has been enjoined from doing so by a judge.
First win in court, as the case continues.
