A series of tweets from Politico senior legal affairs reporter Kyle Cheney: BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored. YOUNG: "I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it – that this represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That’s what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out." MORE YOUNG: "It is palpably clear that these directives and the set of terminated grants here also are designed to frustrate, to stop, research that may bear on the health – we’re talking about health here, the health of Americans, of our LGBTQ community. That’s appalling." YOUNG still going: "I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable. I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this ... I ask myself, how can this be?" "I have the protection that the founders wrote into the constitution, along with imposing upon me a duty to speak the truth in every case. I try to do that. What if I didn’t have those protections. What if my job was on the line, my profession... Would I have stood up against all this? Would I have said, 'you can’t do this?' You are bearing down on people of color because of their color. The constitution will not permit that." "Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?"

The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights. SIGBI followed by a next arrow

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Well Super Bowl Saturday is over and neither team showed up, nor did the fans. A totally empty stadium! This whole debacle is a complete embarrassment for the NFL. Thank god the TV stations forgot to broadcast it too.

sad to report that becoming mentally physically and emotionally well doesn’t happen when u just do one thing one time perfectly 🤨 you actually have to do a bunch of things forever and make mistakes… it’s actually bullshit

danielle smith absolutely has that felonious vibe to her

I love being transgender. Being transgender is awesome. Radically reinventing your body and taking control of your identity is awesome. I'm so proud of who I am and how I got here. A bunch of bigots in control of the government won't change that. I'm here to stay, and I'm happy, and I love myself.
