In the executive order issued Wednesday evening, titled “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 schooling,” Trump directs the attorney general to work with local and state officials to investigate teachers who “unlawfully facilitat[e] the social transition of a minor student.” The order defines “social transitioning” to include using a trans student’s name and pronouns, recognizing a student as nonbinary, or allowing them to use the restroom that aligns with their gender identity.

Ordinary people are going to have to start accepting the risk and actually fighting back. They're a week and a half in, and already ordering Americans not to even recognise the existence of trans and nonbinary children, on threat of prosecution. It's not just about denying them healthcare now (which in itself is terrible), it's about preventing trans kids knowing anyone even sees them for who they are, or that they are seen and loved. The only outcome will be depression, loneliness and suicide, and Republicans want your kids dead if they don't fit some very narrow mold they've pulled out of their own violent insecurities.

People need to fight now. Each day people lie low and wait to see where this is going, the chances of ever fighting back get slimmer.

What the fuck does it even mean to “support” students? Jesus fucking Christ, I am so sick of the republican traitor filth.

So guys, unrelated question.

Say I have a bear that isn't a protected species that wanders around the area. Say I'm a lot of bit nervous of this bear destroying stuff towards the edge of my property, but my property edge is pretty damn far.

What kind of equipment would I need to take care of this bear, if the agencies and law enforcement wont do anything to protect me or my vulnerable neighbors from this bear?

But what does “discriminatory equity ideology” actually mean? The order defines it as “ideology that treats individuals as members of preferred or disfavored groups, rather than as individuals, and minimizes agency, merit, and capability in favor of immoral generalizations.”

Oh for fucks sake. That literally describes how racism, sexism, and bigotry work: by treating people as part of a preferred or disfavored group instead of individuals.
