But yeah, if you're worth $400m and someone asks you to do something clearly morally wrong, you have every opportunity and all the power in the world to make a decision about to do next. Choosing to comply is not apolitical.

As usual standard caveats apply here: everyone needs to eat and house themselves, almost no acts have no moral negatives at all, other people may not understand or agree with your politics, there are lots of grey areas.

I think the lesson of the day, which almost all minority people understand, is that you just don't get to be apolitical. And you particularly can't be apolitical by complying with a blatantly political instruction when you have near infinite money and freedom.

You don’t get points for being a musician or actor who is generally a standard issue lib you have to be explicitly for trans people and Palestine or who gives a shit.

By almost any measure Dolly embodied "the American Dream." Some people will come from nothing and make it big and consider the problem now solved. Others will remember that there are still others with nothing and use what they have to help.

Huge news: the court has entered final judgement in Oregon v Kennedy (HHS trans youth care ban) and has vacated the Kennedy declaration and permanently enjoined its enforcement to target gender clinics. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Page 1 of a legal Judgment document from the United States District Court, District of Oregon for Case No. 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on 04/18/26. The plaintiffs are listed as "STATE OF OREGON, et al.," and the defendants are "ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR., in his official capacity as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, et al." The document is from United States District Judge Kasubhai. It outlines that final judgment is entered in favor of the Plaintiffs on Counts I, II, III, and IV. Item 3 states the Court holds unlawful, sets aside, and vacates the "Declaration of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services RE: Safety, Effectiveness and Professional Standards of Care for Sex-Rejecting Procedures on Children and Adolescents".

Page 2 of a legal judgment document for Case 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on April 18, 2026. The text outlines a court order declaring that defendants lack the authority to unilaterally establish standards of care that supersede professionally recognized standards for gender-affirming care in the Plaintiff States. It permanently enjoins defendants and their agents, including the HHS-OIG, from enforcing the "Kennedy Declaration" against providers in those states. The document is dated April 18, 2026, and is signed by United States District Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai.
