1. Texas AG Ken Paxton is usurping the authority of Texas Courts in a brazen act of autocratic power.

He's ordering court ordered gender changes void.

He's demanding licenses and birth certificates revoked, with reverted replacements for trans people.

I wrote about the very violent, very public detention of a woman for interrupting a speaker at the Kootenai County Republican’s town hall on Saturday. In Idaho, the lines between Republican politics and political violence are thinner than they are in some places; this is a terrifying escalation.
This Shocking Moment at a GOP Town Hall in Idaho Is a Foreboding Sign
Private, unidentified security personnel dragged a woman out of the event. It raises questions not just about tolerance for dissent, but also who gets deputized to do what.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior.

We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.
There's going to be news about a woman illegally detained and being forcely removed from a Coeur d'Alene Idaho Town Hall meeting taking place at the high school by men that would not identify themselves wearing plain clothes because she opposed the republican viewpoints.

There’s no federal methodology for studying complications that arise during a pregnancy loss, so we consulted with experts to craft one.

Here’s how we sifted through data on millions of pregnancy hospitalizations and analyzed the outcomes before and after Texas banned abortion.

it’s so awesome the vice president posts in a way completely indistinguishable from someone with a pepe templar profile picture named “Patron Saint Of Groyp”
This is how vice presidents talk about people they disagree with now, I guess.

Every single report on the Trump funding freeze — every report on Medicare portal, Head Start, homeless veterans programs — needs to mention immediately WHY. The freeze is in order to complete an ideological purge of so-called “woke” programming. This is IMPORTANT, y’all.

Really interesting deep dive on the tech oligarch right, and the fight against them:

I think sarcasm around Elon’s Nazism should stop now. Jokes about the autism bullshit, any sort of validation of his sidestepping of the question, all of it should be replaced by a very cold, sober, direct confrontation with the richest man on Earth and advisor to the president being a Nazi.

Imo one big threat from anti-trans EO is social license to discriminate

People will feel emboldened to complain about trans workers/ colleagues as unprofessional, confusing, etc

Something low stakes you can do if you’re cis is to take time to tell managers how happy you are w/ trans employees

Bonedust Press is a small press that plans to stay small, hoping to grow slowly and sustainably.

In light of recent extremely transphobic policies (and, honestly, years of bad behavior from social media giants) we have a chance to experiment as a press with no previous readership on those sites. 🧵

Apple has opted iOS and MacOS users into an AI photo scanning feature which tries to extract landmarks from your photos called Enhanced Visual Search by default with little notice.
