Leavitt says they’ve begun flying deportees to Guantanamo Bay.
This is functionally disappearing human beings.
There is no consular access to Guantanamo, making it nearly impossible for those held there to be represented by their governments.
There is virtually no media access, either.

The NYT has been, and will continue to be, an active collaborator in the attacks on trans rights and publishing an editorial distancing themselves from the damage while doubling down on the lies and half-truths is worse than silence.
I guess I'd rather they publish something like this than not, but man it takes some big brass ones for the Times Editorial Board to come out with something like this after the past decade and a half

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

As I reported earlier today and others as well, the NCAA was widely expected to cave to this rule banning trans women from sports.
However, that is not the end of this fight... I expect some states to enjoin the NCAA from enforcement and compliance with the EO, which is not law.
