Republicans Push FBI To Designate Trans Advocacy As Violent Extremism. Inside The Project 2025 Organization's Proposal. On Thursday evening, news emerged that individuals within and outside of Trump administration were pushing to cast trans activists as domestic terrorists. Then, Project 2025 dropped its proposal.

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism.

Project 2025's parent org is pushing it.

It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption.

Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom We have seen this song and dance before.

1. If you've scrolled social media lately, you've likely seem Democrats cheering for Gov. Gavin Newsom for trolling Trump relentlessly.

You've also likely seen trans people terrified of a Newsom 2028 run.

I explain why trans people are not feeling Newsom.

While this report presents itself as an apolitical β€œreview of evidence and best practices,” it deserves the same scrutiny and careful fact-checking as any government-produced document. Journalists should quote it only with appropriate context and after thorough vetting.

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handleβ€”so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?

The Trump Administration Is About To Release It's Own Anti-Trans, Junk-Science "Cass Review" The review is expected by insiders to establish new standards of care to justify state bans, with no expert participation in its crafting.

1. The Trump administration is about to release it's own anti-science "Cass Review," a sham review with pseudoscience that will be used to justify sweeping crackdowns on trans care in the United States.

A graphic with a white background and the rainbow Georgia Equality logo at the top. Below in navy blue text it reads:

"Tonight, the Georgia General Assembly adjourned with no further anti-LGBTQ bills passing. While we are disappointed that any anti-LGBTQ bills passed this year, it is worth acknowledging that even more anti-LGBTQ bills were defeated.

We successfully defended against Senate Bill 30, related to puberty blockers, and Senate Bill 39, related to coverage by the State Health Benefit Plan and other state funding, both of which aimed to immediately restrict access to medical care for transgender Georgians. During a year with an overwhelming amount of pressure behind nearly 15 anti-LGBTQ bills, defeating all the ones which would have immediate harms for many transgender Georgians was no small feat.

We are incredibly grateful to the many parents, faith leaders, medical providers, and advocates who worked tirelessly to help achieve this outcome. A broad coalition of LGBTQ Georgians and our allies showed up at the Capitol, lobbied lawmakers, and organized to make this possible.

With 2025 being the first year of a biennial legislative session, we know that many of these bills will return next year; but we remain ready and committed to defeating them yet again. Together, our community is a force to be reckoned with."

HEADS UP: The House Health Committee is now hearing SB 39, a sweeping bill which aims to cut off best practice medical care for transgender people of all ages receiving care through the Georgia State Health Benefit Plan.

On a verbal vote, the committee has voted to pass SB 1. It will now move to the House Rules committee where it could come up on the House floor at any time from there.

Because it's already passed the Senate, if the House passes it, it would go to the Governor to sign into law or veto.

1. A new Texas bill outright criminalizes being transgender as felony fraud. It is one of the most alarming bills that I have ever seen.

Though it stands little chance of passage, its rationale is already being used in other places and by the trump admin.

Iowa just passed one of the most chilling bills ever written. Lets talk about it. The bill, signed into law by state Governor Kim Reynolds, became the first in the country to outright strip protections for trans people.

Looks like Iowa is another state I will not be stepping foot in any time soon.

Senate sets up vote to restrict trans women from women's sports The House passed similar legislation in January.

ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban.

It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture.

Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes.
