1. Breaking: Donald Trump has issued an EO that lays the groundwork for a total military ban.

In it, he says that being trans goes against "a soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle."

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
