1. The military has announced in a new filing that it will ask all soldiers if they have "symptoms" of being transgender.

The filing appears designed to target both out transgender people, as well as those living closeted or stealth.

1. Greg Abbott will direct the state of Texas to consider whether teachers who affirm transgender kids are actually engaging in "child abuse."

He's already attempted to go after parents of trans kids with charges of child abuse before.

The latest from S. Baum.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.”

WOW. Planes in air must turn around.

A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget.

Really think about how twisted this all is.

CEO pay has increased 1,460% since 1978.

Worker pay? 24%.

That's not a market problem. That's a power problem.

Forgot to share this yesterday when it was more timely but - here's my coverage of the United Kingdom's ban on puberty blockers - I'm particularly proud of this piece in relation to other daily articles of mine.

United Kingdom bans puberty blockers indefinitely: It's a "death sentence" - LGBTQ Nation
Activists have accused those behind the ban of choosing politics over lives.

Transgender people deserve care from a medical team. No other condition is regulated by the government. This is insanity!

The vicious cycle of monopolization:

1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.
