📢 BREAKING: Our unit has officially delivered a strike pledge to @CascadePBSNews leadership in response to their most recent unfair proposal. After 8 months of stalled bargaining, they’re still refusing fair wages and benefits. We’re not backing down.

A federal judge in Seattle blocked Trump's EO to withhold all federal funding for gender-affirming care for people under age 19, after the feds lawyer made a pretty unpersuasive case. The awkward pauses and laughter were not what I expected today. Story:

While the hospital did not publicly announce any policy change, or respond to our requests for comment, it did scrub all mentions of gender-affirming surgery from its website.

Last night, a family learned their son's gender-affirming top surgery scheduled for this morning at Seattle Children's was postponed indefinitely -- allegedly to comply with one of Donald Trump's executive orders. Story below:

I know there’s a lot right now. But understand what this means. A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

After Ari's experience, I asked Social Security's press office multiple times what trans people should do if employees ask them to leave in violation of its new policy. They ignored this question every time. Ari's advice is good. Stay in line, stand firm and show them the policy

1/ Bureaucracy is never fun, but for trans people, it can be downright hostile. With just days until Trump takes power, the Biden administration quietly added a major hurdle to updating Social Security documents. 🧵

New bill (SB 753) from Mayes Middleton (R-Friendswood) would update the Texas Health and Safety Code and make it a third degree felony to refer a minor out of state to recieve gender affirming healthcare #TxLege

Where does this lead in Canada? In Panama? In Greenland? Do you to accept this is probably a lie and move on, or speak up against the kind of craven imperial ambition that has marched human beings to death and suffering again and again and again?

When Trump says an "artificial line" divides us and Canada, or that Canada would not exist without US subsidies, he is denying the national identity of a neighboring country. He is suggesting that annexing Canada is an economic inevitability. That is extraordinarily dangerous.

"Annexing Canada would change American politics" is a wild, wild understatement. Canada is a sovereign foreign power. Trump is not "trolling" he is making expansionist threats. How true they are is irrelevant. This is not a fucking game.
POLITICO@politico

Annexing Canada would change American politics. Trump keeps trolling Canada about becoming the 51st state, so we took him literally (not seriously) and this is how it could play out 👉 politi.co/4h8XT7R
