4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans
They ruled that states "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex" through care bans is a constitutional goal, affirming West Virginia's Medicaid ban for trans adults.
1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

Federal Reserve Board - Proposal Details
The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington DC.
The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)

Hidden at the end of this bill is its real purpose: defining trans existence as sexualized and a threat to children.

We're holding a #fursuit auction to make a donation to ACLU Kansas as they work to oppose SB 244.
SB 244 is an anti-transgender bill that has invalidated the driver’s licenses and birth certificates of people who have changed their gender markers on these documents.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Stop EU trade with criminals
For my followers in the EU, there is an European citizens’ initiative you can sign to demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
If you are for BDS this would be a huge step up.

Spread Information, Not Panic - When reporting or boosting potential threats: provide as much information as possible!
Remember! - S.A.L.U.T.E.
Size/Strength - "5 to 6 law enforcement officers"
Actions/Activity - "harassing random people on the street"
Location/Direction - "Chicago, West of Millenium Park, on Michigan Ave"
Uniform/clothes - "Dark blue uniforms that say 'Police ICE' on the back"
Time and date of observation - "12:45 pm January 20"
Equipment and weapons - "They have helmets, vests and batons"
Not a useful message: "URGENT! Potential ICE Raids on the west side!"
"Where? When? What are they doing? How many? What are they carrying?"
Use your judgment! We keep us safe!

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting
“They killed my wife,” the distraught woman says, adding, “They shot her in the head.”
The Advocate has the story - "they killed my wife," Good's spouse says. "We have a six year old in school," Good's spouse says.
Let us avoid building a head of steam behind a narrative to allow a grandparent to come and seize the child of a queer couple.

Friendly reminder that Congress had enough phone calls coming in last February that it was actively causing the phone system to crash and they had to progressively work to upgrade it over several nights to ensure it could handle the call volume.
If enough people call, it disrupts the system.
