I think Ed Markey needs to retire and Ayanna Presley should run and block Seth Moulton from that seat. We need younger folks in office but it can't be Moulton. He would be a disaster for Massachusetts.

We want all international travelers who use a passport with an “X” gender marker to know that your identity doc is still legal & valid.

If you run into issues while traveling, please report your experience to Lambda Legal’s Help Desk: lambdalegal.org/helpdesk/

IMPORTANT UPDATE RE: PASSPORTS WITH “X” GENDER MARKER

Lambda Legal wants all international travelers who use a passport with an “X” gender marker to know that your identity document is still legal and valid.

A new U.S. Customs and Border Protection policy is now in effect. Some airline booking systems may not accept an “X” gender marker for international travel and instead might require “M” or “F”.

Your passport with an “X” gender marker is still legal and valid. This change affects airline data systems, not your legal documents or your right to travel.

1. Many of you have seen a graph purporting to show trans identification has decreased in recent years.

Matt Walsh and Elon Musk celebrated it as a victory over "transgenderism."

Turns out, the entire graph is based on an egregious math and statistics error.

Subscribe to support our journalism.

Fact Check: No, There Is Not A New Survey Showing Trans Identity Is Decreasing

The claim, which originates from far-right professor Eric Kaufmann, appears to have made a glaring error: the survey actually shows more people have come out, not fewer.

A new study shows what we know: Journalism is failing on trans rights coverage.

70% of stories about Trump’s executive orders affecting trans people didn’t quote trans people.

They’re talking ABOUT trans people not with them.

Story / study here: www.transjournalists.org/tja-bmsg-exe...

Graph that shows that trans people and their representatives were quoted infrequently: 70% of articles did not feature even a single trans person.

BREAKING via WSJ

The Trump administration is planning sweeping changes in criminal division at the IRS.

Full Story: on.wsj.com/3LbVFtK

The Trump administration is preparing sweeping changes at the Internal Revenue Service that would allow the agency to pursue criminal inquiries of left-leaning groups more easily, according to people familiar with the matter.
A senior IRS official involved in the effort has drawn up a list of potential targets that includes major Democratic donors, some of the people said.
The undertaking aims to install allies of President Trump at the IRS criminal-investigative division, or IRS-CI, to exert firmer control over the unit and weaken the involvement of IRS lawyers in criminal investigations, officials said. The proposed changes could open the door to politically motivated probes and are being driven by Gary Shapley, an adviser to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Someone asked what happened to the casual Nazi at the end of WWII. The people who supported the Party

The answer? Suicides and murders. If they weren’t beaten to death or shot in the streets, they killed themselves

There’s a book called Promise Me You’ll Shoot Yourself by Florian Huber about it.

The mass suicides by ordinary citizens in the last days of Nazi Germany
Historian Florian Huber's book examines how civilians took their own lives in greater numbers than military and government officials as the Third Reich collapsed
Soviet Army officers observe the bodies of women who committed
suicide in a Vienna park at the end of World War II.

We don't have to defeat Trump. We have to defeat the systems that nurtured, created, and empowered Trump.

Many of those systems are built around the comfort of white people, cis people, and abled people, at the expense of everyone else.

I have identified a fatal data flaw in the survey analysis. Takedown will be incoming but suffice to say, nobody should use Kaufmann’s data for any purpose. It has a critical methodological flaw that is quite embarrassing for him.
