BREAKING: Federal judge blocks DOJ from requesting or receiving patient information about those who have received gender-affirming medical care as minors at Packard Children's Hospital (Stanford). The is the second order blocking these grand jury subpoenas: www.lawdork.com/p/doj-trans-...

In opposing plaintiffs’ motion, DOJ does not meaningfully defend the propriety of its
demand for patients’ sensitive health information. Instead, DOJ contends that because it now seeks
plaintiffs’ medical records through issuance of a grand jury subpoena rather than through an
administrative subpoena, plaintiffs’ sole recourse is to file a motion to quash the subpoena in the
issuing court pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 17. For the reasons that follow, the
Court concludes, for purposes of plaintiffs’ motion, that Rule 17 likely does not preclude plaintiffs
from pursuing an action in this Court to enjoin the federal officials’ ongoing efforts to procure
their private medical information. And because plaintiffs have demonstrated a likelihood of
success on their claim that DOJ’s efforts, if successful, would infringe upon their constitutional
privacy rights, the Court provisionally certifies a class of patients who received gender-affirming
care at Packard and grants plaintiffs’ request for preliminary injunctive relief as to that class.1
Because the record does not establish that patients who received gender-affirming care at other
Californian hospitals face a similar risk of injury, the Court denies plaintiffs’ motions to the extent
they seek provisional certification of a statewide class and statewide injunctive relief.

CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, plaintiffs’ motion to proceed via pseudonym (Dkt. No. 42) is
GRANTED. Plaintiffs’ motions for provisional class certification (Dkt. No. 45) and for a
preliminary injunction (Dkt. No. 46) are GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.
DOJ and Acting Attorney General Blanche, and all persons acting in concert with or on
behalf of such defendants, are hereby ENJOINED from requesting, receiving, producing,
transmitting, disclosing, or otherwise obtaining any records, documents, or information that
(1) identify members of the provisional class as having sought or received gender-affirming care
(or “Sex-Rejecting Procedures”); (2) disclose the clinical indications, diagnoses, assessments, or
other sensitive health information underlying the provision of such care to members of the
provisional class; (3) describe the gender-affirming care (or “Sex-Rejecting Procedures”) provided
to members of the provisional class or any consultations or patient intakes related to such care; or
(4) relate to the provision of informed consent and parent or guardian authorization for provisional
class members’ receipt of gender-affirming care (or “Sex-Rejecting Procedures”). Absent a further
order from this Court, the injunction shall remain in effect during the pendency of these
proceedings.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: July 2, 2026
P. Casey Pitts
United States District Judge

The quote reads, "The problem of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power." -Martin Luther King Jr., 1967. The man is saying to his companion, "personally, I prefer his platitudes about everyone being nice to each other."

Former US military lawyers speak out: "The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both." Statement on Media Reports of Pentagon “No Quarter” Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes 1/2

• If the U.S. military operation to interdict and destroy suspected narcotraFicking vessels is a “non-international armed conflict,” as the Trump Administration suggests, orders to “kill everybody,” which can reasonably be regarded as an order to give “no quarter,” and
to “double-tap” a target in order to kill survivors, are clearly illegal under international law. In short, they are war crimes.
• If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder.

Highlighted sentence at the end of the document reads:

Again, the bottom line is that, since orders to kill survivors of an attack at sea are “patently illegal,” anyone who issues or follows such orders can and should be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Sara Whitmer
• • •

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.
