The serious concerns over how the Order will detrimentally impact transgender youth cannot be overstated. One Washingtonian, as her parents describe her, was a bright and gentle soul who loved playing musical instruments, trying new things, and playing Magic the Gathering. She was excited to learn Japanese and the impact of gender-affirming care was immediately clear to her family. Her parents described that “her joy was clear with every new milestone in her transition. She was so happy to get to the next step, to get closer to presenting in a way that was true to herself.” But the day before the presidential election, she shared, “[t]omorrow I get to find out if I’m illegal.” After the election, she asked her parents if they could move to Canada because she was fearful of new restrictions on transgender youth and worried about losing access to gender-affirming care. In January 2025, she took her life. After the Order issued, her parents expressed that the outlook for transgender futures looks scary and shared fears of what ending gender-affirming care would have meant for their daughter’s access to therapy, puberty-delaying medication, hormones, and hope of surgery. Her parents have expressed fear for the many lives who depend on gender-affirming care and that what happened to their daughter does not happen to any other children.

In a new lawsuit filed against Trump by state AGs, a family with a trans kid shares she died by suicide last month citing fears Trump would deny her access to gender-affirming care. "Her parents have expressed fear...that what happened to their daughter does not happen to other children."

If indeed Democracy Itself is at stake; if we are to believe a genuine fascist coup is happening, that all future elections are cancelled, that millions of lives are at stake, I don't think it's a good idea to say the Democrats can't do anything to stop it because they encountered a locked door.

The richest man in the world declares that the national government no longer has a Department of Education as elected officials are blocked from finding out what is going on.

Factual descriptions of American government right now sound positively dystopian

Elon Musk’s Demolition Crew Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has been unleashed on federal agencies. ProPublica is attempting to document who is working with him and what they are doing.

none of these people should even be able to get hired picking up dog shit after this, know their names, *especially* if you are in tech

the only people who benefit from this are child predators and i'd like dem officials to say so into a microphone

it’s time to start thinking about monkey wrenching, folks

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking.

This is breathtakingly evil.

For extra context, NCMEC runs the massive hashed database of CSAM that companies use to detect it on their platforms. If NCMEC were shut down, CSAM would proliferate everywhere. Not hard to see why the far right would want that while pinning blame on trans people.

Trump's sports ban EO is now live. You can find it here. I'm going to, as I have done in previous nights, go line by line and explain it for all of you here.

The people enabling and doing this tyranny have names and addresses too. Fight. Back.

One of the worst things about this wave of, genocidal anti-trans hate is that you can’t really confide in cis people about it. I feel like no matter how carefully or eloquently I explain to them how bad it is, how insanely cruel it all is, they just wouldn’t care. It’s exhausting.

Brainwide silencing of prion protein by AAV-mediated delivery of an engineered compact epigenetic editor Prion disease is caused by misfolding of the prion protein (PrP) into pathogenic self-propagating conformations, leading to rapid-onset dementia and death. However, elimination of endogenous PrP halts...

Scientists have created an actual treatment for prions, the cause of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease in humans, chronic wasting disease in deer, & mad cow disease.

So these dudes just pushed past security? And folks are unable to physically remove them? These dudes?

Surreal being a trans person on this website this week. Every single one of my trans friends is making emergency preparations in case Trump bans our health care while fighting off existential dread and depression, and 99% of the cis people i follow seemingly have nothing to say about the trans EOs.

Trump signs executive orders for military, focusing on transgender service members, COVID, diversity President Trump signed executive orders that could reshape the management and composition of the U.S. military.

Just in: Trump has signed an executive order that has been widely reported today to include a trans military ban. Still no language on the White House website, but we are watching closely.

Part of the spectacle of this is to normalize dehumanization of the other and state violence against them.

'Antifa' is not a structured org with registered members - this could be used as a method of silencing activists if implemented with ill intent.

We recommend being cautious if you use that term in your social media bios.

DO NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE

more of this 🙏

this pissed me off so bad that all my various thoughts and reactions got stuck trying to come out of my mouth at once and i just started stammering and hissing

True but… we are seeing the White House fire anyone even remotely connected to “diversity.” It’s meant specifically to be applied as broadly as possible while giving the WH plausible deniability.

So if it's too much to ask Democrats to not send Israel weapons to do genocide, and it's too much to ask for them to codify Roe, and it's too much to ask for them to not vote for Trump's fascist nominees, and it's too much to ask for them to oppose mass deportations...what are they good for again?

Aaaaand im prolly deleting bluesky now. Sorry folks all the hot people on my feed arent drowning out the fucking depressing and terrifying news i keep seeing every time i open the app.

Trump pardoned 1500 militia members so he could use them to keep Congress members and federal judges in line by threatening them with murder.
