The non-profit National Butterfly Center is a 100 acre (0.4 sq km) botanical garden located along the US-Mexico border near Mission, TX.
It hosts 200 wild butterfly species on migrations to & from Mexico.
And now it will be a construction zone so we can build a rusting metal wall.

Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially.

The Trump Administration is Testing Conversion Therapy By Medically Experimenting on Trans People in Prisons
The Bureau of Prisons is subjecting trans people to conversion therapy and denying them care with the goal of helping them "recover." It's trying to prove dangerous conversion practices can work.

Every time trans people ask "do you think they'll stop at this?" you need to immediately take it seriously. Remember when they said evangelicals and terfs won't stop at trans athletes? all queer people were on the chopping block, they just started with the easiest target.
"But this is just about porn games!"
Yes, and weird religious fascists regularly mischaracterize queer people and queer art as inherently pornographic, they shouldn't be given an inch because there's no line for them, no cut-off point, they'll never be satisfied. Do you think they'll stop at porn?

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

The "number of people normally cited as killed" (~50k atm) is the number which Gazan health officials have confirmed killed by violence. To be part of this number, an identifiable body or a witness must be brought to a hospital and issued a death certificate. Every hospital in Gaza has been bombed.

That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed.
