Reminding myself: an EO doesn't make it so. It doesn't erase the truth of trans-ness and gender expansive identities. It doesn't change the local legal protections guaranteed to me and those I love residing in the Sovereign State of Connecticut. It sure AS FUCK doesn't change anything in my home. 🏳️‍⚧️✊

President Trump's executive order requires government offices to discriminate against transgender people, and attempts to deny the existence of trans people and put the federal government in charge of their gender.
BREAKING: Here is the anti-trans sex/gender executive order. It's extensive, it's bad, and it's often lawless. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

And, do not miss in "d" and "e" below, it even tries to put in the beginnings of a personhood argument, for some reason.

As a therapist, I agree that it's important not to lose hope (and hours of your life) doomscrolling. Feed your brain hope and joy from wherever you can because your brain releases neurotransmitters IN RESPONSE to what you give it, even just in your imagination.

As a doomscroller... *refresh*

Given his reputation as a black-out drunk, womanizer, sexual predator, and his fiscal improprieties I’m shocked he wasn’t picked as a Supreme Court justice instead of SecDef.

Yep
The Supreme Court ruled corporations were allowed to donate unlimited amounts to politicians in 2010.

It only took them 6 years to take complete control of the government and 15 years to mark sure their voices are the only ones the masses ever hear again.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

FOLKS: The Senate is voting on the Laken Riley Act today. Make no mistake, it's a racial profiling bill.

DEMAND YOUR SENATORS VOTE NO.

Can we get 1,000 fast reposts and replies using the hashtag #NoRacialProfilingLaws to get it trending on Bluesky?

Please and thank you! 🙏💪

Right-wing propagandists purposely have created a firestorm over transgender people. But there are less than 0.1% of youth (minors) that are transgender. Yet the MAGAts want us to believe that there are transgender youth taking over high school sports or whatever else they can invent.
WATCH: Right-wing culture wars distort the reality of the demographics of the transgender population in America. But here's the truth. @chrislhayes.bsky.social
