Judge Rules Trump Cannot Take School Lunch Money From Hungry Kids In Maine Over Trans Students The Bush-appointed judge chastised the government for failing to comply with rules over the termination of funding after it blocked funding over trans students in Maine.

1. Major ruling: A federal court has ruled, for now, that Trump cannot take away school lunch money from hungry kids over trans students.

This is Gov. Janet Mills first victory after telling Trump she would "see you in court."

Brigitte Bandit in a full-coverage pink dress and a big pink wig. She's smiling in her drag queen makeup. Behind her is a room in the Texas State Capitol. Various other people are present in the background, none in drag.

Every so often I think about how AFAB drag queen Brigitte Bandit showed up to the Lege in a pink dress and full makeup and yet the GOP insisted on calling her "he" bc in their conception of reality, all drag queens are men, so her performance of hyperfemininity WAS a performance of masculinity

They didn't stand for it.

A historical black-and-white photograph depicting a Nazi book burning event in Germany during the 1930s. A large crowd of uniformed officers, civilians, and Nazi supporters are seen performing the Nazi salute while books and other materials burn in a fire. The scene is illuminated by the flames, with scattered papers and debris on the ground. The image captures a moment of censorship and oppression during the rise of the Nazi regime.

When the Nazis first came to power, within a few months, they raided the Institute for Sexuality which did the first studies of trans people.

The books they seized were burned here, including a copy of Heinrich Heines poem that said, "where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people too."

Olivia Julianna remains silent while republicans spread anti-trans misinformation and dems use anti-trans talking points but deadnames a conservative trans woman and its celebrated? so gross. don’t deadname trans folks. and don’t stay silent against transphobia and then call yourself an ally.
