Parents of cisgender kids, you need to preemptively pull your kids out in solidarity for trans kids AND to protect your daughters.
Small town sports are a big deal, especially football, so your boys need to walk off too.
Shut them down!

Ballot measure to ban trans girls from sports collects enough signatures—requiring teen genital inspections.
All girls must have their gender "medically verified"—by genital examination or blood test.
The blood test involves a detailed chromosomal analysis—costing up to $2,100.

Listen to the panic of this moment as #ICE shoots into her car with kids inside.
How can anyone think that this is acceptable?
It's absolutely repugnant.
#ICELawlessness is happening again & again.
Just about every attack is being done without warrants on innocent people by anonymous thugs.

Some of this health speculation is unfair and irresponsible, so I’d urge President Trump to set the record straight once and for all by dying ASAP.
The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care.
We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.

At least 30 people have died in ICE custody in less than a year under the current administration. With the massive increase in detainments, conditions inside ICE detention facilities will only get worse, leading to even more deaths.

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.
New research finds trans teens have high satisfaction with gender care
The survey published in JAMA Pediatrics showed that trans teens taking puberty blockers or hormones had very low rates of regret.

1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban.
A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide.
It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Climate migration is difficult to study, and even harder to predict, because a complex constellation of factors guides the decision to pick up and move. But some experts say a historic population shift has already begun, and Western Washington should start preparing now to become a “climate haven.”
