1. We are seeing a massive amount of overcompliance with Trump EOs. Nonprofits across the board are erasing transgender people from their websites. Mira Lazine reports on several that have made the decision to do so in her latest piece. Subscribe to support our journalism.

For extra context, NCMEC runs the massive hashed database of CSAM that companies use to detect it on their platforms. If NCMEC were shut down, CSAM would proliferate everywhere. Not hard to see why the far right would want that while pinning blame on trans people.

What Elon is doing is straight up illegal. He has no authority to go through line by line and shut off funding to organizations he dislikes. He's intentionally trying to destroy civil society.
This image is a screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) stating that the "@DOGE team is rapidly shutting down these illegal payments." The tweet is a quote tweet of another tweet from General Mike Flynn (@GenFlynn), which alleges that Lutheran Family Services and affiliated organizations receive large amounts of taxpayer money and claims that religion is being used as a money laundering operation. Below Flynn's tweet, there is an image of a spreadsheet containing financial data related to these transactions. The Twitter interface shows engagement metrics, including 4K comments, 12K retweets, 55K likes, and 5.3 million views. A "Rate proposed Community Notes" button is also visible.
