The government does not have the power to declare “free speech zones.” And the violent arrest of the rabbi should set off some alarm bells.
Heard an officer say "let's do it" and then, in the dark, they tackle Rabbi Ben to the ground. He's being loaded into a CCSO wagon now. Broadview police also here screaming at people.

Michigan lawmakers have introduced a bill prohibiting the any "depiction or description" of trans people or trans existence online, including it in a bill banning "pornographic" material
The bill would completely erase trans people online, equating them with porn.

Total porn ban proposed by Michigan lawmakers
Some states have moved to require age verification to ensure only adults are watching porn, but no states have outright banned the viewing of pornographic material.

A few people had questions of some of the states on my map such as NY/CA/IL moving up in risk for trans youth.
If a state has moved up in risk, it's because of clinic closures at major clinics.
I cannot in good faith keep a state low risk if state laws are not being enforced to keep clinics open.

1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here.
Risk has increased sharply for youth in many states as clinics shutter under Trump and state AGs refuse to enforce civil rights laws.
For adults, some increases in risk.
Nationwide risk remains extreme.

UPDATE: After early judicial action, courts allow Trump admin to send men to South Sudan.
An initial stay on the Fourth of July gave way to a later order denying relief based on past SCOTUS orders in the matter. The men were later sent to South Sudan.

1. Far right federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has just vacated all EEOC protections for gay and trans people in the work place.
He says protections from "being fired" do not mean they are protected from harassment by Title VII.
