Fleeing Facebook’s been liberating for mood management. Where it sucks is keeping in touch w/family I’ve setup photo albums elsewhere, I text & call more often, but always much more Friction just to accomplish anything than over in Zuck’s cozy quicksand. It’s worth the extra effort to steer clear.

Oh my god. They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service. "Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights" WOW.

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

Those bonehead Republicans managed to convince their base that trans women in sports was a huge issue—without showing a damn shred of data. They never drop facts because that would wreck their narrative. Look at these numbers… Less than 10 trans athletes out of 510,000 NCAA athletes nationwide.

hey Ted how would you like to spend all your free time? Why thanks for asking, I envision dog urine cleanup with a carpet scrubber nonstop so as to not die from ammonia fumes, and you?

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.

Also consider we already know the names of nearly a dozen DOGE employees who are inside our federal agencies, which means so do the spy agencies of every US enemy, who will try to compromise them if they don’t already have an insider.

Trump gutted the Aviation Safety Cmte! Trump ousted the FAA admin! The FAA admin was fired because Elon wanted him out! One air traffic controller was doing the job of 2 people during the crash! Trump ordered a hiring freeze! Trump is supposed to be in charge-- why won't he accept responsibility?

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

2/ fatal brain hemorrhage and causing the suicides of a handful more? GOP leaders are already running scared on this and afraid to talk about it. Get on the floor. Get in camera. Not complicated.

In Florida, a 15-year-old girl was the subject of a police investigation that involved armed officers asking her teammates if they had ever seen her nude and a 500-page report detailing changes in her body weight and notes from her guidance counselor--all because she wanted to play volleyball

5. Now let's look at the relevant section of the bill. And ask yourself (a) what circumstances would trigger enforcement and (b) who would enforce?
