- A high school freshman takes transphobic Maine politicians to task for bullying the trans girl who beat her in a race. Kudos to you, Anelise Feldman.
- So they want to ban middle grade dystopian fiction--along with the histories of systemic violence and discrimination--so we won't know where they get their utterly psychotic ideas, is that right?

- Update: Yesterday after court, I called @duckworth.senate.gov's office. A staffer told me that whilst the Senator "personally supports trans rights," she feels that "bipartisan requires" that she meet with these transphobes in order to "start a dialogue towards a compromise."
- Hey @duckworth.senate.gov, I'm your constituent. Care to explain?
- I don't want my rights to be "compromise[d]" and I don't want a "dialogue" as my community is being attacked. Between this and her vote for Rubio, I will be leaving her race blank or voting third party in 2028.

- WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

- This was SB99 from 2023. I spoke against this bill on 3 different occasions on the house floor, including the "blood on your hands" speech. I am glad this bill has been permanently defeated. And that Montana's constitution continues to protect trans people from government overreach and animus.
