Latest experiments in carving linocut!! It’s so fun to play with as someone used to drawing, because you have to work backwards AND in negative space. I have to keep reminding myself that everything I cut WON’T be a line.

Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination. Discrimination based on sex is expressly prohibited under Montana’s unique Nondiscrimination Clause––“[n]either the state nor any person, firm, corporation, or institution shall discriminate on account of . . . sex . . . .” Thus, Article II, Section 4 is unequivocal in its intolerance for discrimination based on sex. Because sex discrimination involves a fundamental right under Article II, the appropriate level of judicial review is strict scrutiny. Snetsinger, ¶ 17. ¶28 Being transgender is also a suspect class under the Equal Protection Clause of Article II, Section 4,––“[n]o person shall be denied equal protection of the law.”

MONTANA SUPREME COURT: “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” and is subject to strict scrutiny under the Montana Constitution.

Trump's deportation blitz last fall evokes painful memories of Latin American 'disappearances' Neris González, who was captured and brutally tortured in El Salvador decades ago before moving to Chicago, worries that the U.S. could eventually head down a similar path. To avoid that, Ariel Dulitzky, a human rights expert says, “We need to do more documentation of what happened… [so it can't]…

Though President Trump's deportation blitz appears to have eased up, it has left a lasting impact on many here in Chicago. For some, it dredged up memories of people vanishing around them.

The legal term is "Enforced disappearance." chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

@amandafrost.bsky.social and @ilyasomin.bsky.social: www.theusconstitution.org/litigation/t...

Today's dangerous Supreme Court decision ignoring the real harms of conversion "therapy," insultingly issued on Transgender Day of Visibility, is another example of the Roberts Court distorting the 1st Amendment. Read more: www.theusconstitution.org/news/cac-rel...

Powerful words from J. Jackson in today's #SCOTUS conversion therapy case: "Before now, licensed medical professionals had to adhere to standards when treating patients ... Today, the Court turns its back on that tradition. And,
to be completely frank, no one knows what will happen now."

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.

If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.

Everyone give this a share after.

How U.S.A.I.D. Birth Control Meant for Africa Was Ruined

It takes SIXTEEN paragraphs for the New York Times to mention why the administration wanted to destroy nearly $10 million in contraception:

It's because they claim the stockpile of IUDs, birth control pills, and hormonal implants are “abortifacient birth control.”

ICE agents will be stationed outside Marine Corps graduation events in South Carolina As the U.S. continues to fight the war in Iran, the Marine Corps has boosted protection measures on bases, requiring everyone to present REAL IDs, passports or birth certificates to access any sites.
