Or, just complain and protest and fight back because it’s the right thing to do, rather than because you’re next.

Canada does NOT block gender X passports. You’re more than welcome here.

Actually, maybe it doesn’t unless the country you want to enter does the same bullshit thing.

Writer/Artist#StopFemicide 🇨🇦📚🧑🏻‍🎨 @writerartisteh.bsky.social · 7h

We don’t know what it means. Just can’t cross, or detained? It means, among other things, that trans people with X gendered passports already in the US can’t leave.

When planning an event, don’t lock in your venue, and then when challenged, say, I’m sure it works for everyone. Instead, include #DisabledPeople from the get-go, first question you ask yourselves. “Will it function for disabled people? Let’s ask them."

BREAKING: Federal judge finds the Trump admin likely violated the First (viewpoint discrimination) and Fifth (vagueness) Amendments in a case over changed domestic violence grant conditions.

(A TRO previously was issued.)

Document 72

Filed 10/10/25 Page 1 of 39 PagelD #:
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND
RHODE ISLAND COALITION
AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR. in his official capacity as Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, et al.,
Defendants.
C.A. No. 25-cv-342-MRD-PAS
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Melissa R. DuBose, United States District Judge.

Over twenty non-profit coalitions that receive federal grant money to help
support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault as well as members of
society who are unhoused or without stable housing filed suit against the United
States Departments of Health and Human Services ("HHS") and Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD") as well as various administrators and subagencies who fall
under and within these agencies (hereinafter the "Coalitions" or the "Plaintiffs").
Compl. at 1-4. The Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants are springing new conditions
on them as grantees and are requiring compliance with new spending restrictions on grant funds (the "Grants"), all in violation of the Administrative Procedures Act (the
"APA"), 5 U.S.C. § 706, the U.S. Constitution's clearly articulated separation of
Case 1:25-cv-00342-MRD-PAS Document 72

powers principles such as the Article I Spending Clause, the First Amendment, and the Due Process Clause under the Fifth Amendment. Id. 11 4, 66-89. The new
conditions and certifications foisted upon the grantees are focused on compelling
compliance with sweeping changes imposed by the executive branch by way of Executive Orders ("E.O.s") aimed at eliminating programs that are perceived as promoting gender ideology; diversity, equity, and inclusion; elective abortions; and
antidiscrimination. Id. 11 21-31, MPI at 73-74.

IV. CONCLUSION
As stated, the Court determines that the Plaintiffs have met their burden as
to the preliminary injunction factors and finds them entitled to relief. Pursuant to Section 705 of the APA, the Court finds that it is necessary and appropriate to grant
the Plaintiffs' request for a preliminary stay of the Challenged Conditions.
See 5
U.S.C. § 705 (permitting a reviewing court to "issue all necessary and appropriate
process to postpone the effective date of an agency action or to preserve status or
rights pending conclusion of the review proceedings on such conditions as may be
required and to the extent necessary to prevent irreparable injury").

I doubt he’s a believer. If he is, he’ll believe they’ll make him a golden purgatory with all the creature comforts and perhaps a golden sceptre and wraiths to rule over.

They seem also to be threatening peaceful protestors with arrest more frequently.

I was just wondering today about the stories of those deported and how they’re faring where they were sent. I’ve heard a couple, but nowhere near 100 accounts, and thousands upon thousands in every govt lately have been turfed.

Totally agree. Even if they’re working, they shouldn’t be paid for it.

I wore gloves outside today for the first time. Getting chilly.

Also, since they throw precedents over like so much old trash now, they can’t really write a final judgement—as new courts will just toss it.
