We did it, y’all! So proud of this team from @lambdalegal.org @aclu.org and @nyclu.org! A huge win for everyone who believes in privacy and the rule of law, and amazing victory for trans young people and their families in NYC.

This does not affect the restoration of research grants ordered in GLMA v. NIH. That preliminary injunction is based on violations of the ACA and the Fifth Amendment. lambdalegal.org/wp-content/u...

The Skrmetti decision is a travesty, but it is limited to the medical context for minors and does not bless all discrimination against transgender people. We also have other arguments against these bans. Transgender youth, please know that we love you and will fight for you.

I’m particularly proud of this lawsuit against the administration’s unprecedented, sweeping, and discriminatory terminations of NIH funding for LGBQTI+ health research. Our LGBTQI+ community knows all too well that silence equals death. But we will not be silenced. We will not be ignored.

Today’s decision by SCOTUS to allow immediate implementation of Trump’s ban on military service by transgender people is devastating and will irreparably harm thousands of patriotic transgender servicemembers who have sacrificed and fought for our freedoms with honor and distinction. 1/2

It’s not everyday your brief is spotlighted on SCOTUSblog. Great write up about our opposition to Trump administration’s request to the Supreme Court to reinstate its ban on transgender military service while our case proceeds.

So proud to count as co-counsel attorneys from law firms that actually stand up for the rule of law, our Constitution, and the legal profession, as opposed to firms that bend the knee and kowtow to authoritarianism. Thank you Perkins Coie LLP and Jenner & Block LLP for standing firm!

Shame on anyone who bends the knee to fascism, whether it is Meta, ABC, or Paul Weiss.
