But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold.
I just resorted our list to put those on the top.

Doctors ignored my reports if pain for years. In high school my mom would have to come pick me up because I was puking from agony. I'd pass out at work. I was told some discomfort is normal. At 23 a (cis woman!) doctor told me if I did not stop complaining the only solution was a hysterectomy.
So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

Also, they're manipulable.
To anyone tempted to celebrate Noem's big announcement that ICE will use body cams and that it will be expanded nationwide as funding is available...
That's already been official ICE policy for over two years.

Once again, my white men, we do not get to assert that parts of a work of fiction adapted for modern media are inviolate, especially if the adaptation highlights a Black person, 4x during Black History Month.
You really can't keep the racism under control for 28 days?!

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

This seems common sense that you have to evict for a reason? Even if that reason is "My BIL is going to live in the place"?
A controversial measure to require landlords to give a reason when they evict renters is likely to be debated during the 2026 session.

Also universities, where even the private unis get treated more like public institutions than like private businesses (who also often get tons of federal 💵).
This list has lots of overlap with news organizations.
Not that I have anything specific to complain about atm, but this reddit post about museum work culture is really insightful:

While ICE is a straight shot from the enslaver patrols & the Trail of Tears & every white supremacy story on which the US is built & maintained
it’s also not for nothing that fascism has distinctive hallmarks—
