This is re: Trump's EO to ban trans persons from the military. Reyes is a federal judge. If I got this etherized in court I'd walk into the fucking sea. bsky.app/profile/mike...
![REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mmtjkssv6jeneahkgfdxuy7p/bafkreicmr3wybkn6acxmmdf4vuqnzxho2nk7kp3v7tx7vkclg2cjmwvixm@jpeg)

Show the NFL you’re paying attention. Don’t watch the Super Bowl—make the ratings tank. Instead, listen on the radio. Money talks, and so do numbers. Stand against those who bend the knee to fascism. Tune out, speak up, and hit them where it counts. #BoycottNFL #TurnItOff #ListenDontWatch

“You remember in Star Wars where the ewoks cheered after the death star blew up? Wouldn’t it be fucked up if Han said ‘Whoa now, that dude had a family.’ Is that what you want to be known as?”
