"99.97 percent of families, even when given the option, chose to let their children learn about LGBTQ+ people."
Nice result, and it reinforces everything Montgomery County said to SCOTUS before its theocrats made their dehumanizing ruling. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

1. Today, 200,000 marched in Budapest Pride in defiance of a ban by Orbán's far-right government.

It was led by the city's mayor Gergely Karácsony, who got around the law by making it an "official city gathering."

He was warned of arrest.

They marched anyway.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID.

When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.”

That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping.
This is fascism & it’s terrifying.

She is their Elon. Harry Potter should be seen with the same scorn as Teslas or Cybertrucks.
Fun fact, JK—who is English—single-handedly funded the Scotland remain movement during the referendum, and called separatists “bigots”.

She’s the reason there’s no independent Scotland. She throws her money and clout around like she’s fucking Nigel Farage. She’s a billionaire corrupting politics.
It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.

1. The state department has removed transgender people from its website and just reads "LGB Travelers," as reported by a number of journalists.

However, on further investigation, it is also removing trans-specific directions for individual countries.

State Department Travel Safety Website Changes "LGBTQI+ Travelers" to "LGB Travelers"
The change is an attempt to insert a divide in the LGBTQIA+ community by the Trump administration, and to erase transgender people from any consideration or recognition.

Or consider the GOP's opposition of both abortion and paid family leave. Those positions might seem contradictory. But not if the deeper driving motive is to trap women in such a precarious position that they have no choice but to settle for less-than-ideal partners and/or less-than-ideal jobs.

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.

1. Yesterday, Trump's executive order crossed a new line.

No longer are the NYT Op-eds, thin veneers of pseudoscience, and false claims about trans people needed to justify discrimination.

We enter an era where our humanity itself is officially questioned.
