1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.
The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

Chicago neighborhoods of reported activity include Rogers Park, Austin and Pilsen.
Screenshot of sophiafornc from Threads: This is eleven year-old Genesis and six year-old Denis, two Durham elementary school students whose families came here to seek asylum. On Monday, they were detained by ICE and immediately sent back to Honduras without due process. Don't you dare tell me that this is making our country safer.
I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process.
Follow SiembraNC on IG or FB or @siembranc.bsky.social for next action steps.
I felt extremely lucky!!
I would like to talk more about how ICE shot someone else yesterday and he is in critical condition! The coverage is really horrifying because DHS is giving a similar story to the one they gave about Renee Good and so much news coverage is just buying it. Please talk about Carlos Mendoza Hernandez.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.
Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere.
Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.
I’m satisfied with this
Aw that’s so wonderful!!
Love this! It all tracks with how we plant trees at work!
Checks out! Tho I am suspicious of the one near the fingertips- blueberry?? Or BERRY IMPOSTER (grape)
Haven’t died yet!!
Alas, my Berry Knowledge will have to keep being tested my usual way (squinting hard at a plant for 5 minutes and then cautiously nibbling to see if it’s gross)
I did not know this thing existed and now I’m hungry (and curious to test my Berry Knowledge)
And she is EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT IT!!!

Gothamist NYC parents say Mount Sinai has cut off services for trans kids ahead of federal rule
hi, cis folks!
it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG.
care has *not* resumed!
there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵
Just a reminder to anyone with an online shop: I’d rather receive my order wrapped in a used sock than uline packaging
