Florida Passes Bill That Lets DeSantis Remove Local Elected Officials From Office For "Promoting" Pride The bill could heavily impact LGBTQ+ activities throughout the state, and is the latest exercise in the erosion of democracy there.

1. Attacks on LGBTQ+ people have always been tied with the erosion of democracy.

Now, a bill has just been passed in Florida that lets DeSantis remove elected officials for promoting pride/LGBTQ+ people in their official capacity.

No court hearing necessary.

The BMJ study Ben Ryan constantly references does not say or support what he says it does.

For one, it suffers from a critical flaw of overcontrolling, which renders its main finding meaningless.

Even with this, a close read still found that trans care saves lives.

Thread explainer.

I agree that this is...not good. Curious even.

1. Big ruling out of Connecticut. A federal judge has ruled that blanket denials for FFS violate the affordable care act.

Though it only applies to two plaintiffs, class certification is pending, and it will provide strong legal rationale for challenges.

No, effeminate boys aren’t being ‘transed’ | Xtra Magazine Hiding my transness nearly killed me. Let’s work to build a world where trans people’s lives aren’t quite so hard

A recent Atlantic column claimed society is allegedly "transing" effeminate boys. For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote a rebuttal using my own experience as a young, closeted trans girl. xtramagazine.com/power/identi...

I've submitted multiple. Never once been published. They often don't even publish my comments on anti trans nyt articles. It's that repressive.

The reason I fight so hard for trans kids is because I was a trans kid myself. I knew who I was in the year 2000, 12 years old, behind my computer, using the name Erin. I wanted puberty blockers so badly. My body shifted and changed in horrifying ways that I suffered for 15 years over.

Few cherish justice more than those who seldom receive it.

Headline: "Good news! Pete Hegseth wanted Scouting America to ban trans kids. The organization said no way!"

Actual story: "We do not put boys and girls together in intimate spaces and in order to do that we need to have some knowledge of who they are," Krone said.

“At the same time we have to protect what we’ve got”

Like… I’m glad they’re finally saying it. It’s an active decision to not direct this. It’s a capitulation. How can Mamdani be mad at NYU if his hospital system is making the same decision?

New Hampshire House Passes Trans Public Bathroom Ban That Bans "Asserting" Ones Identity The bill is more extreme than a recent one vetoed by the governor.

1. The New Hampshire House has passed a public building bathroom ban that says it is a violation of the state civil rights act for a trans person to "assert" their identity gives them access to a bathroom.

It bans them from public bathrooms across the state.

Listened to this at 6 minutes in or so. It’s not directly stated, but it appears the reason that Mamdani has not directed H+H to absorb trans patients is out of fear of the federal government. “It’s part of the game we have to play with the federal government .”

It’s the EXACT logic NYU is using.

Nope!!!

Missouri Advances Three Anti-Trans Bathroom Ban Bills In One Night “This is a make-or-break moment with what just happened in Kansas.”

1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state.

They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic.

Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too.

The latest from our writer S. Baum.

The headline reads "How to win a culture war from behind" with the subheader: "Marriage equality won by changing the question. Trans rights activists are fighting on the wrong terrain." It is dated March 5, 2026.

Has Lakshya ever actually talked to a trans person about any of this? He prognosticates on what the trans movement should do while ignoring what we've actually done. Just absolutely inane stuff.

It’s official.

ICE just grabbed NASHVILLE Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez outside of a gym.

“She was with her husband, a 🇺🇸 citizen — her attorney says she came legally, sponsored by her husband, has a pending green card application.”

She also has a daughter.

That’s what I’m talking about

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do
