1. There has been a major new federal rule proposed governing ALL federal grants. A federal grant recipient will be deemed ineligible if the recipient advances "gender ideology," or denies that "sex is binary." This includes hospitals, schools, nonprofits. Subscribe to support our journalism.

5. An institution that acknowledges trans people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

Not only does this essentially erase transgender identities from public view, but it will cost trans lives. I know that policies like this (even just proposed ones) make me feel hopeless at times, but to all my trans and nonbinary siblings, remember: Our continued existence is resistance 🩷🤍🩵

Whatever solution she proposes for this "emergency" will result in the death of children. It is heartbreaking how much MAGA would rather see kids die than be their true selves. What kills me more are the parents who abuse and abandon their trans kids. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

1. Trump has nominated Dr. Nicole Saphier, a Fox News contributor, to be the next Surgeon General. She has an ardent history of anti-trans statements, and pushes detransition myths and hate. She calls trans youth a "national emergency." Subscribe to support our journalism.

I just started listening to the podcast, "Behind the Bastards." During their Stalin episode, they just kept talking about how much Stalin and his crew acted like a bunch of moody toddlers and frat boys who came into power. Feels reminiscent of someone. Who could it be...? 😐

California has its fair share of issues, including some governance ones, but I'm very proud that our state doesn't give in and put up with every piece of BS that the federal administration hands down. Great news for the queer community here 🩷🤍🩵

I *hope* what this means is that some conservatives are reaching the limit of what they see as "acceptable cruelty." At the very least, this is a great reminder to Democrats that it doesn't behoove them to throw minority groups under the bus in the chase for moderate votes.

I just had the thought that they will absolutely deploy these glasses in airports, in lines where people must unmask for ID purposes. I think their goal is to keep some of us from leaving the house or living in any way. 🤬

I hate this dystopia. Protesting? Nope, they have your name and face so they can arrest you whenever. Openly trans or queer? I'm sure they'll store that information for a rainy day when they want people to disappear. If they use these glasses, we all need to go back to masking for safety.

This is domestic terrorism. Admittedly, lethal injection and other execution methods have issues. But this is not the more humane way forward. It's a scare tactic.

I cannot state enough how much representation matters. People develop empathy (partly) by being shown diversity in their lives and the media they consume. If this practice is not challenged, I expect even more trans hate by average citizens. Find your supports and stay strong out there 🩷🤍🩵

If this passes, and I'm scared it may, we need to remove all Senators who voted to pass it. I don't care if they're "following the party line" or whatever. These are the hills people should be dying on in politics. Stop the blatantly anti-American policies. Call your Senators.

There seems to have been an uptick in Trump bringing God into his posts. I know he always has, to an extent, but it seems like he's more frequently using God as a way to garner support for the atrocities he commits.

No reasonable person can look at this breakdown and think it's a good budget to pass. There should be outcry from both sides of the aisle, if only one side would stop kneeling to this farce of a presidency.

One of the best things about our country has always been the nature that surrounds us. It's already horrific that people will lose their job and scientific findings will be lost, but the pessimist in me thinks this is a stepping stone to selling off public lands, ultimately destroying them. 🤬

The "small moves" by this administration are always just as insidious. Some of their big gestures may be blocked, but systematically removing dissenters and wearing us down with incremental change has always been their plan. Don't let yourself be distracted from the global picture.

The "parents' rights" movement is destroying education in this country. Parents can parent how they want. They should not be allowed to bully librarians, teachers, etc. One, they don't have the same expert knowledge. Two, censorship impedes everyone's rights. We need to stop allowing it.

The fact that many conservatives see this as a positive ruling reminds me of why I am instantly distrustful of anyone who says they lean conservative. Minors deserve protection, even from their parents/guardians, especially those parents/gudians who think conversion therapy is "the answer."
