Today concludes my fellowship with Lawyers for Good Government. Getting to serve the transgender community in a fulltime capacity was nothing less than a dream and a privilege. As I go onto my next chapter as a Law Student, I cannot be more grateful for such a meaningful experiance.

This is really bleak.

When Justice is blind, bad guys take the fifth. When justice is corrupt, good guys take the fifth. Feel free to share.

1. In the aftermath of forcing the Ohio Progressive Caucus to delete criticism of Amy Acton for calling trans girls "boys," progressives were promised a meeting with Acton. Now, we have learned she didn't show up, and kicked trans people out of the meeting. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Dem. Ohio Gov Candidate Amy Acton Scheduled a Meeting With LGBTQ+ Advocates, Didn't Show Up, And Kicked Out Trans People Who Did

The meeting was supposed to be Acton's way of making up for calling trans girls "boys."

This is deeply worrying and would amount to no less than trying to proscribe trans people for acts of self defence against a regime on the attack.

Tomorrow, Lord Walney, who was responsible in part for the proscription of Palestine Action, will publish an article in The Times arguing that BASH BACK be proscribed as a terrorist organisation. We will not be intimidated. Neither should you. xoxo BASH BACK

Ok, I've got a beta up and running with full semantic search along with agentic RAG to enable insights from the full corpus database. In plain terms, it allows you to ask questions and it will answer using the full legislative database. Given the costs to run, it'll be invite access only.

Creating a vector database of nearly 10k LGBTQ related bills from 2004-present. This will allow for semantic search on bills as well as novel textual analysis. It'll include all bill meta data along with hand coded values by the legialerts team. I don't think anything like this has been done before.

The thing about these bans is that they filter down to even rec leagues. These tennis associations such as the USTA also oversee amateur and rec league regulations. So a trans woman wanting to do some casual matches with friends is also banned. It's about exclusion, not fairness.

Trans women have been allowed to compete in women's tennis for nearly fifty years since Renee Richards won her case in 1977. It hasn't been an issue in all that time. Now they're mandating these invasive genetic tests to screen out trans and intersex women. www.devdiscourse.com/article/spor...

I got curious about this and yes, Taylor Farms is one of the lettuce suppliers for Jersey Mike's.

Katelyn Burns@katelynburns.com · 3w ago

A concerning number of people are getting lettuce in this Jersey Mike's.

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

Fascism is here. If you’re not alarmed you’re not paying attention. “Left-wing political terrorism” will mean those who oppose the regime — while actual right-wing extremism is allowed to grow and thrive. We are very far off the cliff, folks.

Journalism and the Freedom of Speech must be protected. It's one of the few tools left to hold those in power accountable.

A statement from WIRED leadership.

A trans woman was arrested in the UK for posting on Bluesky “I hope she was handcuffed to the bed as she screamed in agony." This was a reference to comments made by Widdecombe when she was prisons minister where she supported the handcuffing of Incarcerated pregnant women giving birth.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

I just created www.lgbtqlegislation.com which builds on the work of the LegiAlerts team to provide an interactive data dashboard to look at 20+ years of anti-LGBTQ legislation and especially anti-trans legislation. It also includes an overview of pro-LGBTQ legislation. Check it out!

To be clear: No AI was used for compiling the data. The frontend webpage, however, was created using Claude by @esqueer.net. If it’s against your personal beliefs to visit any webpage that was created with AI you are still welcome to visit all this data in its raw form at archive.legialerts.org

Happy to see DHS employees got the holiday off to spend with their families.

Oh cool, an Easter egg feature that traps you in a driverless car and kidnaps you when it's decided you've misbehaved. Imagine what a hacker group or ICE can do with this. The fact that this is even functionally possible is horrifying.

Yes. Reform the Supreme Court. Term limits. Expand the Court. Enforceable code of ethics. It’s time we address corruption on the highest court.
