This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy.
Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

Shorter Alito's concurrence: "The majority said the law doesn't discriminate against transgender status. I disagree. I think it does discriminate against transgender status and that's good."
He's just completely given up on the game and is happy to tell everyone what the majority really believes.

Just explained to my kids that their trans friends should be fine because we don't and never will live in fucking Tennessee.

Ellie’s write up is must read for understanding how horrible today’s Supreme Court decision is for trans people. Don’t let the press tell you this is some limited decision. The court is putting into question the right of all trans people to simply exist. By a 6-3 margin.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause does not protect everybody equally. Instead it upheld the Tennessee law that seeks to eradicate trans kids.

The Supreme Court's Anti-Trans Decision Will Live In Infamy
In its bigotry and deceitfulness, US v. Skrmetti is destined to be seen alongside Plessy, Dobbs, Dred Scott, and all of the court's other most notorious decisions.

NEWS: It began with Mahmoud Khalil. Now the Trump admin is trying to deport *hundreds* of students by vaguely saying they have criminal records—making them guess why.
Some have traffic violations. Some didn't even commit a crime.
One's "criminal record"? Apparently being a domestic violence victim.

Trump Is Trying to Deport Students Who Show Up in a ‘Criminal Records Check.’ But Many Have Never Been Convicted
What began with Mahmoud Khalil has now expanded into widespread immigration status revocations with no explanation and little apparent recourse.

It's also like not only are you not going to get bananas or coffee or whatever, but a ton of businesses with products you like will simply go under because their profit margins were too slim.
This will mean a massive wipeout of competition and centralization of the market.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to *certain items cease to be available at any price*

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

Everyone--EVERYONE--in higher education has to understand that this is Trump's plan for you, too: federal control over scholarship, curricula, discipline, admissions--everything. They want you to submit. Your only other option is to stand up, together.
I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”
