The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

This will not be the first economic blackout or the last. But it's a place for new people to start, and for others to continue their boycott.

The Chilling Line Trump Just Crossed On Transgender People
With the latest trans military executive order, the administration has given up all pretense of "evidence-based care," and has moved to the kind of dehumanization meant to justify atrocity.

The mask is off with these fucking fascists.
Trump is calling trans military members dishonorable liars, is shutting down gov't funded programs to try to root out trans people, and red states across the country are following suit.
There's barely any pretense to their hateful policy anymore.

Just released memorandum from OPM:
Federal facilities will now have a bathroom ban for transgender people.
It will go into effect on the 31st.
It also has a slew of effects and puts into place the 1st anti-trans EO policies for every agency.
This will have a ton of impacts very quickly.

This is the biggest danger of Trump's EOs.
They are not law, and yet Denver Health is complying in advance, ending all trans surgeries under 19 years of age, including chest masculinization - a rare, but much needed surgery for some trans teens.

Yeah, this is not great. Universities are melting pots of a variety of political views and ideas, where freedom
of expression (when it is not harmful to others) should prevail.
It doesn’t matter what your view is on this issue, cancelling visas for one’s political views is big slippery slope.

The Trump administration clearly believes that the fundamental American freedoms of speech & assembly do not apply to all persons present in the United States.
This is unconstitutional, authoritarian, extremist cancel culture.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Trans kids are not a bargaining chip. Being trans isn’t a culture war. Not giving an inch in my support for trans and nonbinary people of all ages to live freely and openly, and neither should you. Gender is what we make of it, and that’s what they’re afraid of.
