Republicans Privately Pushing Anti-Trans Funding Ban For ACA Subsidy Deal After Shutdown Compromise
The proposal, which was first detailed in the Wall Street Journal, could harm transgender people even in blue states if it becomes part of the negotiated deal.

Was recording insects at night and caught this weird interference with my Zoom H3-VR. Never heard anything like it before and not sure where it came from since I was in a very remote area.

Switched to DuckDuckGo but it wasn't much better. Currently using Kagi and it's like Google from ten years ago. Saves me so much time when troubleshooting.

This is basically making it so trans people who were adopted and had their birth records sealed cannot obtain a passport at all. This will also ensnare cis people who were adopted and have clerical errors on their records or are suspected of being trans.

6. Joyce’s video on “gender ideology” spends a full three minutes, out of a 30 minute lecture, on Joyce’s disdain for trans aesthetics. She further calls on the audience to use “child gender medicine and sports” as “inroads” in order to eliminate trans rights at large.

1. In a devastating decision for trans kids in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, the 6th Circuit has ruled students can bully trans kids by repeatedly misgendering them.
Trans kids also are not allowed to return the favor to their bullies.

A non-negotiable for Democrats in the 2028 primaries is that they must promise to expand and reform the court. The Supreme Court has lost all legitimacy to rule and it needs to be completely overhauled. Nothing less would be an abject failure and acquiescence to Republican ratfucking of the court.
SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants.
This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks.
