This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO.

Docs to come.

Eleanor Rykener did it in late medieval England, and was put on trial when the authorities discovered she was trans. Her statement was on display at the British Library Medieval Women exhibition. We know about her thanks to this record, but the proceedings weren't exactly pleasant for her.

Lessons to be learned:

1. Centrists align with far-right to look tough on immigration
2. Centrists gain nothing

The CDC is removing data sets that researchers widely rely upon because they include information on sexual orientation and gender identity. “It feels like they’re trying to will us out of existence,” one researcher tells @theresagaff.bsky.social:

All the smart, savvy bankers and CEOs who think they're just getting deregulation with a side of racism do not understand they will also be taken for a ride, as Trump & Musk treat the entire federal government like a mob protection racket, freely skimming anywhere they like.

This would be hilarious. @wmarybeard.bsky.social owns Aaron Banks over the "Roman salute" excuse for the Nazi salute.

It it not hilarious though because so many mainstream "journalists" repeated the "Roman salute" excuse.

In reality the Romans greeted each other by kissing cheeks, a la Française:
Over on the other place

Dame Mary Beard @wmarybeard.bsky.social - an expert on Roman history - posted that the Nazi salute has nothing to do with the Romans

Arron Banks replied with photos of Roman statues with outstretched arms as "evidence" of the Roman salute

Major news breaking from NOTUS on Trump’s trans passport ban:

It will not be retroactive.

Very glad I and others encouraged people to get their passports in the lead up to Trump’s inauguration.

Now hopefully this EO is defeated in court.

Trump’s Gender Order Won't Affect Existing Passports — Unless They’re Renewed
“They can still apply to renew their passport — they just have to use their God-given sex, which was decided at birth,” the White House press secretary told NOTUS.
