“The govt's arguments are not persuasive, & it is not an especially close question…. The govt's unrelenting reliance on deference to #military judgment is unjustified in the absence of any evidence supporting 'the military's' new judgment reflected in the [#transgender] Military Ban—in its equally considered & unquestionable judgment, that very same military had only the week before permitted active-duty plaintiffs (& some thousands of others) to serve openly.
United States Court of Appeals for DC ordered the #Pentagon not to take action against any #transgender servicemembers while a judge's order blocking #Trump / #Hegseth's ban is appealed.
“The purpose of this administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the emergency motion for stay pending appeal”

A thought I had today, while reading my sixth book by Albert Camus: Resistance, Rebellion, and Death. I am convinced Camus would have supported equal rights for my transgender daughter, because he truly strove to be fully egalitarian in his thinking about other people. Camus’ defense of human dignity is worthy of imitation in a world where it is not uncommon to see historical victims of bigotry discriminate against others without even recognizing their own hypocrisy. #Books #Reading #Camus #Absurdism #Philosophy #Bigotry #Trans

Nope, fuck 'em. I am not making nice with people who find casual #racism and #bigotry acceptable, who want to take my rights and those of my family away, and overall fuck up the country on behalf of their sky fairy.
And if you don't like it, #MyBlockIsQuick.
If you have to threaten people into your lifestyle it's a cult. If you threaten a child with death because they might happen part of the LGBTQIA+ community you have problems and you need professional help, likely medication. That's not normal or quirky, it's violence and you shouldn't be in jail you need to be in prison. You sure as hell shouldn't be near children.

Talbott vs tRump (1:25-cv-00240)
https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69583866/talbott-v-trump/
New filing by the plaintiffs in Talbott v. United States — the challenge to #Trump's ban on #transgender #military service members.
Last Friday, the DOJ asked the court to dissolve the injunction.
Plaintiffs also argue DOJ gave no legitimate reason for a stay pending appeal.

Not hating people who are different than you is now considered "hard left". Being different is considered "DEI".
Useful term I found via internet searching: "conformist bigotry", a form of bigotry/hatred centered around not confirming to societal norms, expected "standards" (as defined by people, not necessarily official) of behavior, etc. See: r/FakeDisorderCringe
Rep Sylvia Garcia: “Let’s be clear: The Department of Education exists because states wouldn’t fund poor schools, wouldn’t protect kids with disabilities, wouldn’t follow civil rights law, especially in the South. Anyone calling to abolish it is calling to turn back the clock — and we can’t let that happen.”

And so it was, that #Americans took time out of their #feuding and #bigotry, to once again unite for an ol fashioned lynching.
"Basically, we *had* a lot of soft power, but now it's gone - and it took us billions and decades to acrue."
O RLY?!
Not gonna lie, thanks #Elon. Finally, a South African topples the #US #hegemony. This wasn't how I pictured it playing out tho, but very cool.

Leading by example
Trump’s statements, policies and actions are providing cover for attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, freedom of expression and the rule of law around the world.
Naturally, Hurst is de facto HMFIC, since DrunkDef isn't sober enough half of the time, to even understand what the hell is in any one of the memoranda.
TLDR there will be NO SEPARATIONS until case is fully adjudicated, appealed and judged, closed, decided, etc.
