glad that more people are looking back at HERO and how it was the real genesis of anti trans laws

On January 13, the Supreme Court is going to hear arguments over state laws targeting transgender girls in sports. This from @pablo.show and @motherjones.com is a great explainer on why the right-wing legal movement needs this issue to push trans people out of public life altogether

In the 1980s, American fascists tried to turn Idaho into a white Christian nationalist homeland for “refugees” from American multi-racial democracy and religious pluralism. One such community was called “Aryan Nations.” So this tracks perfectly . www.idahostatesman.com/news/politic...

Yes. Policing gender isn't just about us trans ppl. It's actually primarily focused on controlling women, both cis and trans, because gender is a *power* construct in addition to being a binary. The point of breaking down the binary is to deflate and destroy that power to make us all more free.

A Florida high school teacher has been fired for using a student's chosen name instead of their deadname, a first under a 2023 law signed by Ron DeSantis. “She is a beloved teacher that changed her students’ lives” said one parent leading a petition with 7,400 signatures demanding her reinstatement

“We must stand together, challenge disinformation, and dismantle the political agendas driving this global assault on trans rights.” – Jude Guaitamacchi #TransRightsAreHumanRights www.gaytimes.com/originals/ju...

There are numerous reasons why Trump and his government’s pervasive blathering about turning Canada into the “51st state” shouldn’t be dismissed as a “Madman Theory”-negotiating tactic, or as performative MAGA trolling. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be RFK Jr's attempt to pull a "Cass review" for vaccinations – one that winds up not finding any evidence of actual harm, but which is presented in such a way that anti-vaxxers will confidently & relentlessly point to it as some kind of "smoking gun"...

Trans people have long warned that most of the victims of anti-trans laws and policies would be cis women and girls who don't have the "right look."

UK Prime Minister Starmer hugs Zelensky as he welcomes him to 10 Downing Street. This is how you welcome the leader of the free world.

relatedly, why is the entire political press completely uninterested in the verifiable fact that JD Vance has close relationships with online nazis?

Brutal.

How many times last year were we lectured by pundits not to call Trump a fascist? The “very serious people” said it was a categorical error & a tactical mistake. They are still doing it. It’s not “the economy, stupid”—this is straight-up evil. How many people will die before they change their tune?

Yesterday — YESTERDAY — JD Vance visited Dachau and said it drove home “what unspeakable evil was committed and why we should be committed to ensuring it never happens again.” Today he met with AfD?? He made a mockery of his visit to Dachau. Disgusting. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A must-read from the always-perceptive @michellegoldberg.bsky.social

After reports circulated Wednesday night of the State Department's intent to purchase Tesla vehicles, the document was edited, at 9:12 p.m., and now says the federal contract is for $400 million worth of "armored electric vehicles," but the word "Tesla" was removed. www.npr.org/2025/02/13/g...

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Gender is such an immutable, natural binary that we have to enforce it with the full power of the state.

Hegseth Uses His First Town Hall to Attack Diversity www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

CBC's Fifth Estate has traced a wide web of anti-LGBT hate working to censor or close down libraries in Canada to a right-wing U.S. movement

Remember the Cass Report, which supposedly "followed the science" on trans kids health? The huge York University epidemiology study on which it was based has finally been published, and it contradicts many of the report's conclusions. By @gidmk.bsky.social. gidmk.substack.com/p/gender-dys...

i'll be blunt, if you are someone who is vocal about the ways that diversity efforts "divide the working class" but silent about the ways that *actual racism and discrimination* divide the working class, then i think you're just an opportunist

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has mandated that all scientific manuscripts produced by its researchers that are under review at a journal be withdrawn so that certain language relating to gender can be stripped from them. https://go.nature.com/40YJGp4
