Lots to piece out from day 1 of the hearing on Trump's executive order concerning trans people in the military, but this back-and-forth between Judge Ana Reyes and government lawyer Jason Lynch about intersex people and biology is interesting!

I'm old enough to remember when the courts ruled that the president didn't even have the authority to cancel student debt. What was that, fifty, maybe sixty years ago? My how time flies.

Video clip of hundreds of folks leaving protest at DC Children's National Hospital earlier today.
This past week the hospital abruptly stopped providing gender affirming healthcare for youth under 19 years old, to preemptively comply with the Musk/Trump Administration's illegal Executive Order.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

We got this little doggo in 2020 to help us deal. He keeps on doing his job with a daily dose of nonsense. When he’d like to speak to the manager he barks so hard he blows himself up into the air! Enjoy a little nonsense with me!

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

Of course, there's that whole weird 8th Amendment thing that prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, which this undoubtedly is (among other issues with doing this).

Angry about corporations caving to the desires of the new regime? You can do something! Make a commitment this week to reach out to someone you work with. Together think about what pressure will be applied to your organization. How can you, at the very least, refuse to obey in advance.

Already Trump is telling is to report on colleagues or face consequences.
This is a test y’all. Can he make a decree and vague threats and we all fall into line? Hell no.
Do it anyway. Do science anyway. Do DEI anyway. Be vague and coded or loud and proud.
It’s way too soon to give in.
