Bear/Braxton Hairstylist

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.

Louisiana Indicts New York Abortion Provider, Arrests Mother These are the first post-Roe criminal charges brought against a doctor.

I wish I had better news for you today.

In what appears to be the first time an abortion provider has been criminally charged since Roe was overturned, a Louisiana grand jury has indicted a New York doctor for shipping abortion medication to a teen patient.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

A Line By Line Analysis Of Trump's Youth Care Ban Executive Order A week after a flurry of executive orders, Trump is still signing orders to target the trans community. The latest, released Tuesday, tries to ban trans youth care nationwide.

1. Yesterday, Trump released a sweeping executive order designed to end transgender youth care. It uses unconstitutional means and dubious interpretations of old laws to threaten hospitals, parents, and providers.

I go line by line to help you make sense of it.

Just a reminder:
The people telling us they are “protecting kids” by denying trans children access to scientifically backed medical care are the same people who beat their kids. They think spanking is healthy and good but hormone blockers are abuse. 🧵

Republicans in Congress are saying the quiet part out loud: cuts for grandma in the nursing home to fund tax giveaways for billionaires.

White House orders government DEI employees to be placed on leave | CNN Politics Employees in any federal diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility offices will be placed on paid administrative leave “effective immediately,” according to a post from White House press secretar...

DEI programs were created to give everyone who meet objective standards a fair shot at serving our country. Diversity has changed America for the BETTER. Rolling back these programs and offices with an executive order is completely disgraceful.

All Federal DEI Employees Will Have Email Access Suspended And Be Placed On Leave Wednesday By close of business Wednesday, every single diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) office within the federal government will shut down; email accounts will be suspended.

The Trump admin has ordered all federal DEI workers to be placed on leave, with plans to end programs by Jan. 31. DEI websites & social media to shut down. WH says it’s a move toward “merit-based” governance. Is merit-based the new word for white?

Step 1: Remove women’s access to reproductive rights and education
Step 2: Remove women from positions of power

The next steps don’t get better folks.

52 years ago, Roe v. Wade secured the reproductive rights women fought for. In 2022, Dobbs overturned it & 22 states restricted our freedoms.

2 days ago, Trump took down reproductiverights.gov. But @reprocaucus.bsky.social will continue to share abortion resources. Your body, your choice!

Trump has still not introduced a single plan or policy to lower grocery prices.

But he is taking action on day one to raise prices.

This all began with Reagan's repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. News stopped bring a regulated public service & became an instrument designed to make a profit. Just that simple.

Eggs are about to get even more expensive, expert says. Here’s how much Eggs are nearly 40% more expensive now than they were a year ago, the Labor Department said this week. It’s about to get even worse, one expert says.

Egg prices are projected to rise by as much as 20% during Trump’s first year in office, despite him claiming that he will “bring prices down.”
