Texas A&M President to Step Down After Controversy Over β€˜Gender Ideology’

Multiple Deans, a professor, and now a university president have all lost their jobs simply because a professor acknowledged trans people exist in a course about young adult literature.

16 States (Plus Washington DC) Launch Joint Legal Fight for Trans Health Care β€œ[The] DOJ’s intent in issuing the subpoenas is not enforcement of the specific prohibitions of those laws but the chilling of medical care with which the administration disagrees ideologically.”

1. 16 State AGs + Washington, D.C., have filed federal suit that the President is illegally intimidating healthcare providers into dropping trans care.

The legal battle could determine the fate of states’ rights to protect gender affirming care.

In the last few days, Rush children's hospital, U Chicago Medicine, and Children's National Hospital have all announced they are ending their gender affirming care programs due to threats from the Trump administration.

They are cowards sacrificing trans youth to terrorists.

I am shaking with rage. This horrific, immoral, cowardly decision by @childrensnational.bsky.social will cause irreparable harm to patients and families who put their trust into Children’s. It’s unconscionable!

a panel from a comic by Matt Groening, depicting one of his weird rabbit dudes looking slightly disoriented against a black background. the panel is labeled, "1990s", and a speech bubble appears from off-screen that reads, "BY BEING THE SAME AS REPUBLICANS WE CAN DEFEAT THE REPUBLICANS."

Puerto Rico bans hormone therapy and gender surgery for trans people under 21 The law calls for 15 years in prison for any violators, as well as a $50,000 penalty and the revocation of all licenses and permits of medical staff.

Puerto Rico has just banned gender affirming care for trans people up to age 21. It is now the ban with the highest age limit in the United States.

In a major precedent setting move, a Canadian federal judge blocked the deportation of a nonbinary US citizen because the Canadian immigration office failed to adequately assess the conditions for LGBTQ people since Trump took office.

We live in a nation where I am now sending out alerts about what the U.S. attorney general is doing in our name.

It’s a lot to sit with.

It’s going to get a lot darker before it starts getting lighter, but I will keep doing what I do. And, it will get lighter again.

Absolutely HORRIFIC decision by UPenn. Will scrap all of Lia Thomas' wins, will adopt "biological definitions" for Title IX under Trump's order, and more.

Some of this could lead to bathroom bans at UPenn too given the admin views bathroom usage as in violation.

BREAKING: House Republicans passed Trump’s deadly & dangerous budget bill.

Over 17 million Americans will lose health care. Millions more will struggle to put food on the table.

The ultra-wealthy are the only winners in this budget.

It's a dark day in America.

Exclusive: Trump administration banned chosen names at FDA, CDC, NIH under new gender policy Health and Human Services employees were told in March to remove 'nicknames' from email systems and signatures to comply with Trump order on gender.

Employees at NIH and CDC can no longer use preferred names, they must use their "legal name." So someone named Robert can't be called Bobby. This policy is intended to crack down on trans people but will affect far more cis people.

Trump Defunds School Lunches In Maine Over Transgender People To use the term coined by conservative talking heads, Trump is holding school lunch money β€œhostage.”

1. Trump has officially defunded school lunches in Maine for kids and disabled adults because of transgender people.

Trump is holding the funds hostage and will allow kids to go hungry unless Maine discriminates.

Trump is seeking to deport another graduate student who is legally in the country, lawsuit says Badar Khan Suri, a fellow at Georgetown, says he is being punished because of the suspected views of his wife, a U.S. citizen with Palestinian heritage.

Badar Khan Suri, a Georgetown post doctoral fellow who is a legal immigrant, was detained solely for sharing pro Palestinian views on social media. He was detained under the same provision as Mahmoud Khalil.

He's already been moved to Louisiana.
