I've said before that the thing that seems to work with normies is to point out the NYT position on trans people aligns with the fake hate organization with 200 members trying to pass itself off as the American Academy of Pediatrics - instead of the position of the 67,000 doctors in the real AAP.

It's also not true that RFK Jr has identified a real problem but proposes the wrong solutions.

The "problem" he's identified is that Americans are unhealthier than we've ever been (false) and that prescription drugs are making kids sad, autistic and trans (deranged).

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

US threatens permanent visa bans on trans athletes based on sex markers Exclusive: State department memo directs officers to bar those deemed to misrepresent birth sex on applications

THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE PERMANENT VISA BANS TO TRANS VISITORS TO THE US.

This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications.

LGBTQ federal workers brace for a McCarthyist purge "They’re not asking people, β€˜Are you gay? Are you lesbian?’ They’re asking, β€˜Who is participating in DEI?'"

When I landed in SLC, I used the bathroom despite an anti-trans bathroom ban.

Nobody cared. Nobody ever does.

The truth is, whatever anti-trans laws they keep passing, nobody actually gives a damn or wants to be the bathroom police.

This is the ultimate reason anti-trans hysteria will fail.

Public comment on US passport form changes related to trans

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

As this article spells out, one tiny problem with "it's the wokeness!" is how Democrats crushed it when they were at their most woke. This was all in 2020 before the election.

Then in 2024 they backed away from it and lost to a bunch of the same people they beat in 2020.

Minneapolis theater group doubles down on DEI initiatives as federal funding is threatened The theater organization says it recently received orders from the National Endowment for the Arts to stop promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion or be denied federal funding.

From Playwrights Center in MN: β€œWhat they call β€˜DEI’ is what we call our values. We identify and uplift artists who have been historically marginalized, and we materially support their ability to create their world-changing work, full stop.”

Ancient Egyptian mummies smell "spicy" and "sweet", study finds Rsearchers find nine mummies they examined all smelled "woody", "spicy" and "sweet".

So many awful things are happening.

Therefore, it is more important than ever to know that mummies smell nice.

It brightens the day. 🀩

Getting word that a few hospitals are offering trans care again after the EO was blocked by a federal judge.

Please send the decision to your hospital, and PLEASE send me a message if your hospital has resumed care, as I’m doing a story on this.

The graphic shows arrows going from 11 general agencies and institutions to Musk companies which include SpaceX, Tesla. neuralink, x, and Musk himself.

The text at the top reads:
Trump firings hit agencies with oversight of Musk's companies
Staffing changes, including the firing of several top officials, have affected agencies with federal investigations into or regulatory battles with Elon Musk's companies.

A historic graphic of corruption.

The 11 federal agencies so far targeted for firings or dismantling by Elon Musk have more than 30 ongoing investigations into his companies.
