Capitulating to Trump on gender affirming care is not risk free. It violates state and federal law to deny access to this care and providers should be on notice they are legally liable if they unlawfully deny care. www.gladlaw.org/connecticut-...

Trump took his “stolen election” claims to more than 60 courts. Judges—Republican, Democratic, and Trump-appointed alike—found no credible evidence of fraud. Every case failed. Repeating a lie doesn’t make it true. #holdfast #getsmart #steadystate

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.
Page 1:
Flyer from The Heritage Foundation Oversight Project titled “Transgender Ideology-Inspired Violent Extremism (TIVE): Background and FAQs on Need for an FBI Domestic Terrorism Designation.” The page defines “Transgender Ideology” and “TIVE,” outlining beliefs allegedly associated with them. It claims such ideology justifies violence against opponents or frames opposition as violence. The text references the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk, urging the FBI to classify TIVE as domestic terrorism.Page 2:
Continuation of flyer with a section titled “Recent Instances of TIVE-Motivated Acts of Domestic Terrorism.” Lists multiple violent events from 2018 to 2025, attributing them to transgender ideology. Includes mugshots of two alleged attackers. Followed by a “Frequently Asked Questions and Key Terms” section, addressing whether transgender people are terrorists, comparing TIVE with “Nihilistic Violent Extremism,” and discussing FBI designations.
Page 3:
Flyer continues with questions about Antifa and FBI terrorism classifications. States that Antifa and TIVE are separate categories. Lists ways the FBI classifies domestic terrorism and identifies typical characteristics of “TIVEs,” such as targeting Christians, mental illness, and online radicalization. Includes images: a “Trans Antifa” logo, a pink-blue-white-striped slogan image reading “Protect Their Right to Exist,” a photo of Audrey Hale with a firearm, and a close-up of a magazine with the words “Where is your God?”Page 4:
Section titled “Terminology Used by TIVE.” Defines terms including cisgender, deadnaming, Gillick competence, misgendering, “Right to Exist,” “Trans genocide,” and a phrase “You either have a live boy or dead girl, you choose.” Each is presented as terminology used in or associated with TIVE. Page layout is text-heavy, no additional graphics.

After the Minnesota shooting Senior DOJ officials started weighing proposals to limit transgender people's right to possess firearms. After the Kirk shooting, I look forward to the DOJ's proposal to limit white men's ability to possess firearms. Wait, what do you mean that's not how it works???🤔

We do not know yet who the shooter was that killed charlie kirk. The assumption by the far right is that someone of the far left or centrist committed this crime, it's ludicrous. The data we have on shooters of this ilk suggest it is a far right white male conspiracist. Stop the fear mongering.

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

BREAKING: The American Association of University Professors and other groups sue over what they call the Trump administration's “ideological-deportation policy" — which has already led to the arrest of Mahmoud Kahlil and targeting of others. Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
INTRODUCTION
Implementing executive orders issued by President Trump in January, the defendant agencies have announced that they intend to carry out large-scale arrests, detentions,
and deportations of noncitizen students and faculty who participate in pro-Palestinian protests and other related expression and association (the "ideological-deportation policy"). The defendant agencies arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a recent Columbia University graduate and a legal permanent resident, pursuant to this policy earlier this month; they revoked the visas of at least four others,
one of whom fled to Canada in fear of arrest; they supplied universities with the names of other
students they intend to target under the policy; and they launched new social media surveillance
programs aimed at identifying still others. After federal agents seized Khalil in the lobby of his university-owned student housing, President Trump warned: "This is the first arrest of many to come."The First Amendment protects the rights of Plaintiffs and their U.S. citizen
members to hear from, and associate with, noncitizen students and faculty. Because the ideological-deportation policy abridges these rights without adequate justification, the policy is
unconstitutional. Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court declare that the policy violates the
First and Fifth Amendments, as well as the Administrative Procedure Act, and enjoin Defendants from further implementation of it. They also seek a declaration that Defendants' campaign of coercive threats to arrest, detain, and deport noncitizen students and faculty based on their pro-
Palestinian expression and association violates the First Amendment.

BREAKING: Chief Judge Boasberg denies the federal government's effort to vacate the TROs in the Alien Enemies Act case, finding that people the government claims are subject to the proclamation at least have a right to "individualized hearings to determine whether the Act applies to them at all."
The Court need not resolve the thorny question of whether the judiciary has the authority to assess this claim in the first place. That is because Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on another
equally fundamental theory: before they may be deported, they are entitled to individualized hearings to determine whether the Act applies to them at all. As the Government itself concedes, the awesome power granted by the Act may be brought to bear only on those who are, in fact,
"alien enemies." And the Supreme Court and this Circuit have long maintained that federal
courts are equipped to adjudicate that question when individuals threatened with detention and
removal challenge their designation as such. Because the named Plaintiffs dispute that they are
members of Tren de Aragua, they may not be deported until a court has been able to decide the
merits of their challenge. Nor may any members of the provisionally certified class be removed
until they have been given the opportunity to challenge their designations as well. The Motion to
Vacate will thus be denied.
