Trans women transferred to men’s prisons despite rulings against Trump’s order Incarcerated trans women report being groped by male guards and suicidal thoughts: β€˜I’m punished for existing’

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.

We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.

This is inhumane and illegal.

If Medicaid is significantly cut, it's going to impact not just kids, but the services they use. Some services will fold/go away. For everyone, not just kids using Medicaid.

Every morning at my house:

Me: I'm leaving now.

Him: (at the door) Have fun storming the castle!

Me: *Fist punch above my head as I walk to the car, my back to him.*

I love this little 1980s mixed reference ritual. I married well.

Pam Bondi Instructs Trump DOJ to Criminally Investigate Companies That Do DEI Civil rights advocates may well file suit immediately against the Justice Department to secure an injunction.

They are seeking to criminalize integration efforts across public life. We must be clear eyed and direct about what’s happening here. We have not witnessed this blatant of a comprehensive governmental attack on integration since the Civil Rights Movement. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Retaliatory tariffs from both Mexico and Canada.

Trump says he’ll raise tariffs to 50% if they retaliate.

Naturally, they’ll retaliate again, and every day Americans (and Canadians) will pay for this crisis entirely of Trump’s making
