GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism".

Opinion | They’re coming for immigrants first And the Trump administration is signaling that no one else might be safe, either.

Remember last time Trump was president and unmarked vans swept up people off the street and he tried to get the military to use force against protesters? If you think the administration's vindictive defiance will stop with immigrants, you're naive.

A Columbia University Professor Speaks Out Against the Kidnapping of Mahmoud Khalil On March 12, at a rally in front of the New York City courthouse where Mahmoud Khalil’s hearing took place, classicist and Columbia University associate professor Joseph Howley made the follo…

This Florida cinema showed a documentary about Palestine. Now, the mayor could shut it down. “I never expected our local government to enact retribution against an arts organization for extending and fulfilling their artistic license and freedom to show films.”

Florida is now in the business of shutting down theaters that show Oscar-winning documentaries.

The driving philosophy of the Trump administration is white male supremacy. It’s not just that they don’t believe in bigotry or prejudice or racism, but if you’re anything but a straight white man, your contributions are false, awarded to you because of your identity, and must be deleted.

Fact.

I wish him gout. Like crippling gout.

Fact.

Yes. This. Do not agree to your own annihilation. Fuck’s sake.

I got through to Senator Fetterman’s office and left a message. But the staffer seemed pretty disaffected and it didn’t seem to me that my request for no on cloture and no on the CR would get passed along. Unshocked. I was on hold for 28 minutes. Just FYI.

The people who said “wokeness” was totalitarian are applauding as dhs sends agents to college campus to apprehend students for thoughtcrime

Fetterman’s lines are down. He’s a disgrace.

Eggs now cost $15 a dozen and your retirement portfolio is down by 30%, but at least no one has to be ashamed about being racist anymore

If Trump can invoke the wartime law that was used to detain the Japanese in camps because he feels like it when we're not at war, he can declare martial law any time he wants, he can (and is) suspend law anytime he wants. If he can have a permanent resident abucted, he can have anyone abducted.

AI is an extractive, white supremacist, and colonialist endeavor. Of course it gets its shit wrong.
