1. Major exclusive breaking news: Marco Rubio may have just banned trans foreigners seeking visas with correct gender markers from US Entry.
A new cable, effective immediately, says visas must contain assigned sex at birth and should be rejected if they don't.

Germany is getting a new chancellor. Its current leader is heading out of power, but his party probably will stick around in a diminished capacity. Sunday’s election produced a few surprises and a lot of suspense. Here are five takeaways.
To answer some quick questions about my latest story:
- It does not apply to the Visa Waiver Program as far as I can see
- It does not impact American citizens
- The ban exclusively impacts transgender foreigners seeking visas in the United States
- It is far more extensive than reported elsewhere

An alle cis Menschen, die mir folgen: die USA treiben die staatliche Auslöschung von trans* Personen voran, und ihr könnt sicher sein, dass dieselben Kräfte schon längst hier am Werk sind (wer erinnert sich noch an das Treffen der CSU-Delegation mit De Santis?) ->
Meanwhile, the US-based colleagues of the Film Festival Alliance (FFA) are running a Festival Worker Employment & Compensation Study. Here you get to the survey if you work at a film festival (in the US, but also abroad).

I published this piece yesterday, and today JD Vance went to Munich (yes, Munich) and lectured German politicians about why they ought to break down the firewall that has kept the far-right out of German politics for decades, and work with the Holocaust-minimizing AfD. www.zeit.de/politik/ausl...
In Zeiten zunehmenden Rechtsrucks erwarten wir von der Politik, alles zu tun, um Frauenrechte bestmöglich zu schützen - statt vorbildlich demokratische Willensbildungsprozesse zu ersticken.
Gestern wurde der Gesetzentwurf zur Entkriminalisierung von Schwangerschaftsabbrüchen im Rechtsausschuss gestoppt und ist damit de facto gescheitert!
Das obwohl 80 % der Deutschen wollen, dass selbstbestimmte Abbrüche aus dem Strafrecht verschwinden.
Wir kämpfen weiter!

Der Täter war offenbar ein Rechtsterrorist, die Schule ein Ort an dem Eingewanderte schwedisch lernen können. Natürlich sagen dt Medien er hätte kein ideologisches Motiv gehabt. Es ist furchtbar.

#GLAADinstitute alum Omar Noureldin gives a perspective on how important civil servants are to our lives, and a look at why purging the civil service, especially LGBTQ people, people of color, and people with disabilities, is going to hurt the USA.
Exactly. We are not hearing enough from University leaders in the US. This silent complicity is toxic - for academia, science, freedom.
Mississippi Senator Bradford Blackmon isn’t playin around.
In answer to the GOP’s ridiculous “life begins at contraception” law, he’s introduced Senate Bill 2319 stating that “CONTRACEPTION BEGINS AT ERECTION” and it makes it illegal for a man to cum if he does not intend to fertilize an embryo.
