When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

The recent executive orders may signal hostility toward the LGBTQ+ community, but they do not change the hard-fought protections and progress we've made. These orders are a reminder of the challenges we still face—but they also strengthen our resolve. bit.ly/4atlEWa

Should the #NDAA pass with this anti-trans provision included, it would mark the first federal anti-LGBTQ statute in nearly 20 years. Members of the House must oppose passage of the NDAA until this harmful amendment is removed.

"Families should never have to choose between serving their country and ensuring their kids are able to access the medical care they need. People should be trusted with their own medical decisions."

Incredible news! Montana’s Supreme Court just affirmed that the state’s gender affirming care ban is likely unconstitutional. This makes the state the first state Supreme Court to rule that trans medical care is protected. This applies REGARDLESS of what the US Supreme Court does.

targets, the District Court reasonably concluded that the balance of the equities tips toward
preliminary relief pending full consideration of the merits. Its analysis of the last two
preliminary injunction factors was not arbitrary or unreasonable. The court did not
manifestly abuse its discretion, and its injunction was not overbroad.
156 Finally, both parties have submitted notices of supplemental authority, citing recent
cases considering challenges to various laws regarding gender-affirming care. Without
exception, the additional authority pertains to claims grounded in the equal protection
clause or otherwise based on alleged unlawful discrimination. Some of the authorities also
reference new developments in research and evidence that was not part of the record
presented to the District Court in the preliminary injunction proceedings. Because, on the
record here, the District Court's conclusions on Montana's express privacy protections are
sufficient to uphold its preliminary injunction, we affirm on that basis. The parties will
have the opportunity during the merits proceeding for full development of the record, where their experts may offer insight on any new research, and for briefing on the current case law relative to their claims.
CONCLUSION
157 The District Court made no error of law and did not manifestly abuse its discretion.
We affirm its grant of a preliminary injunction on the basis of Plaintiffs' right to privacy claim. The case will proceed to trial, at which point the District Court will finally resolve the disputed facts and issue a final determination on the constitutional issues presented.

Transgender folks across the country are stockpiling medications, fearing bans on their healthcare. Trump has pledged to outlaw care for trans youth, block federal funds for adults, and push Congress to define gender as fixed at birth. wapo.st/3ZrVDBx

Yesterday’s #SCOTUS United States v. #Skrmetti oral arguments offered some key insights into how we should approach this case from a communications perspective. While the stakes are high, I’m feeling skeptically optimistic. Here are a few takeaways: 🧵

Today the Supreme Court will hear arguments for U.S. v Skrmetti, a case that could overturn state-level bans on lifesaving transgender medical care. These bans hurt transgender youth and their families and could undermine everyone’s ability to make decisions their own medical care.
