1. Far right federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has just vacated all EEOC protections for gay and trans people in the work place.
He says protections from "being fired" do not mean they are protected from harassment by Title VII.
I cover this insane ruling here.

Ken Klipperstein leaked full passport guidance for trans people:
- X markers will be a focal point
- Existing unexpired passports will remain good
- No guidance on confiscation, but it doesn’t seem like they will
- Renewals less clear but it looks like they will use “a preponderance of evidence”
We're seeing Neimöller's famous "first they came for" poem play out in real time and every institution is failing to meet the moment.

Our existence is being systematically erased, and the anxiety is taking my mind to places I do not enjoy going. I am a being of peace, but to protect myself and those I love, I am willing to do what I must. All my love. 🖤❤️🏳️⚧️

I don't like the cold, and snow is a pain in my ass, but my daughters and I had an amazing time sledding yesterday. I need to remind myself that many times the most rewarding experiences are those that make me uncomfortable. All my love. 🖤❤️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

My litmus test is if there is any hesitation to do things publicly and be seen with me. That being said, I'm not really into cis men at all. Love you. ❤️🖤🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.
Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.
This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.
He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.
There have been so many predecessors and friends lost just for trying to live a happy, meaningful life as themselves. This day has gotten harder to process over the last few years, and I fear that it will continue to get worse until our allies stand up and fight for us. All my love. ❤️🖤🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
