The Trump Justice Department Is Way Too Comfortable Violating Court Orders
Judges have tools for responding to noncompliance. They just have to use them.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years.
5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions.
19 states banned legal recognition
21 states have bathroom bans
8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs
25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

Transphobia is a losing strategy. If you’re telling trans people to eat shit for the cause you either know this and want cover for your own transphobia or you don’t know this and think it’s morally acceptable to mark some bodies and lives for death in the name of expediency. Fix your hearts or die.

Just so we understand: “right wing wanker campaign to claim Doctors Without Borders are terrorists” means “the IDF is going to kill aid workers this week”.
The British press has been extremely hostile towards Amnesty International, Medicins Sans Frontiers, Oxfam and others for decades because *they offer rival narratives that the public might listen to*, and that is not acceptable, to them.

Republicans have made their endgame clear: banning healthcare for trans people of all ages.
Attacks on care for trans youth are the wedge strategy in a broader campaign to erode our rights.

The safe school answer that isn't great but at least isn't harmful is "This is just not something politicians in DC need to dictate. Parents & educators can work this out. We should be trying to give all our kids every experience they deserve. We don't need to ban books. We don't need to ban kids."

Just to note: we definitely already have concentration camps.
Gitmo may not meet your definition (it does mine), but Camp East Montana, Dilley, and so many others, including Delaney Hall and the Baldwin ICE camp here in Michigan, clearly meet any fair rubric for a concentration camp.

People have to take the rhetoric at the GOP convention seriously. The anti-trans, anti-immigrant hate isn't just words. It's is what the GOP is running on. Hatred of the "other". They really, actually want concentration camps. And for women not to have the vote. They say it and they mean it.

blizzard workers had to fight tooth and nail for years, but they finally did it: they secured a union contract not just for one team, but for all unionized units--warcraft, overwatch, diablo, and more
![“We really started mobilizing as one Blizzard unit in [the] last couple of months, and I think that really helped put the pressure on,” Paul Cox, senior game designer on World of Warcraft, told Aftermath.
"I feel like the company dragged its feet and did a lot of posturing and wasting time until the very, very last moment."
Prior to spring of this year, the WoW team, which unionized in 2024, had gotten the lion's share of bargaining time. Other units found themselves stuck in the mud. Higher-ups were effectively stalling the whole process—unfortunately nothing new for unionized workers under Microsoft’s umbrella.
"For this whole year of bargaining on the Diablo side—and I imagine on the rest of the units as well—we received so few [bargaining] dates, but we kind of had the understanding that whatever WoW was able to win would at least influence and set the floor for the rest of our units,” Diablo senior environment artist Mahreen Fatima told Aftermath. “We adopted this messaging about how WoW's wins are our wins, so we should be out there mobilizing with them. But truly, I feel like the company dragged its feet and did a lot of posturing and wasting time until the very, very last moment this last month to finally be able to say, 'OK, yes, we are willing to extend this contract to everyone.' We really did not have any indication that we could get this done until last month."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreih6u6gzajbd63dovnmlnc43z5g6i35d3n735rrdkopipyjopkl72e)
