Not to be all #CoalMineCanary, but Trump has simply ignored how appropriations work for a year now. He started by threatening already allocated funding to schools & hospitals if they refused to erase trans people and for the most part, nobody raised a fuss. He's still doing it. Nobody cares.
"Olympics Move to Ban Trans Women and Cis Female Athletes With Male Levels of Testosterone"
Another #CoalMineCanary moment. Now they're going after cis women who are too masculine. Only white, willowy, demure women need apply.
At some point people might realize this is just enforcing patriarchy.
So you know how since at least the start of they year I've been tagging things with #CoalMineCanary?
This is why.
If there's no mass outrage to stop them, it will be all ICE detainees soon.
Also? This is what the Nazis did.

Another #CoalMineCanary moment. It's been so consistent and yet people and the media just ignore it.
Yes, & this has been the program since the student strikes of 1971 against the Vietnam War. My school, Justin Morrill College at Michigan State University, got axed like Florida's New School bc it was identified in a '73 Provost's Report to the Governor as the epicenter. #CoalMineCanary #FiftyYears
Texas AG Paxton: transgender people cannot change the sex on their driver’s licenses and birth certificates, and that any court orders doing so are “void.”
Republicans are ignoring court orders when it comes to trans people. We're already well within the "constitutional crisis".
#CoalMineCanary
Again, journalists and political pundits who worry about whether the Musk-Trump Administration will start to violate or ignore court orders at some point should be aware that it is already happening in regards to trans people. But as is often the case, nobody notices.
#CoalMineCanary
Pundits worry about "what if" the Musk-Trump Administration starts ignoring court decisions.
We are already there. But b/c it's trans women, it's barely noticed by news media as such.
#CoalMineCanary
This is what I mean when I say that the Musk-Trump Administration is ALREADY ignoring court orders and we are already in that Constitutional crisis.
#CoalMineCanary
Just an FYI, they've been pretty open about wanting to get rid of the ADA and Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It's disabled people who have been the canaries on this one, for decades.

Robin Lundstrum (R) filed an amendment to the Arkansas Religious Nondiscrimination Act to greatly expand faith-based civil-rights exceptions. It creates broad religious exemptions to deny services based on religious belief about gender identity.

Is August 2016 the globe's hottest month ever recorded (by 0.02C)?
