“He didn’t mention my name in the statement. I just saw it quickly. He didn’t mention my name. But many people have called for his impeachment. The impeachment of this judge. I don’t know who the judge is. He is radical left. He is Obama-appointed,” #Trump said, acc/to an early clip shared on the social media.
The Papers: #Ukraine truce hopes 'on a knife edge' and 'Worried sick'
Wednesday's front pages feature the phone call between #Trump and Putin, and #Labour's welfare reforms.
Unbelievable willful ignorance:
#Trump said that #SCOTUS Chief Justice #JohnRoberts’ statement on Tues didn’t mention him by name while doubling down on his call to #impeach a federal judge who ruled against his admin in a high-profile #deportation case.
In an interview on Tues w/ FauxNews’ Laura Ingraham, Trump was asked what his reaction was to Roberts stepping in to make a statement after Trump called for impeaching US District Judge James #Boasberg.
“Plaintiffs face a violation of their constitutional rights, which constitutes irreparable harm. Indeed, the cruel irony is that thousands of #transgender servicemembers have sacrificed — some risking their lives — to ensure for others the very #EqualProtection rights the #Military Ban seeks to deny them,” Reyes wrote, adding that “avoiding constitutional violations is always in the #PublicInterest.”
Sums it up really.
Reyes…wrote that such pronouncements that #transgender people are not honorable, truthful or disciplined are “pure conjecture.” The EO & #DOD policy “provide nothing to support Defendants’ view that transgender #military service is inconsistent with #military readiness,” she wrote.
Judge Ana C. Reyes issued the preliminary #injunction, barring the #Defense Dept from enacting a new policy that would’ve moved to remove #transgender troops from the ranks. The policy, issued last month, followed a Jan #ExecutiveOrder signed by #Trump that referred to being transgender as a “falsehood” inconsistent w/the “humility & selflessness required of a service member.”
Judge blocks #Trump’s order banning #transgender troops from #military service, ruling that the plan violated the #Constitution’s #EqualProtection clause.

Putin manipulates Trump, gets KGB art of the ceasefire deal
Russian industrialists and state media (a very Russian attempt to show President Donald Trump who is boss), Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to have thoroughly manipulated Trump during their conversation on Tuesday.

Two days after Director Lee Zeldin announced he was gutting the EPA, Trump announced we are going to fire up “clean coal” plants:
“After years of being held captive by Environmental Extremists, Lunatics, Radicals, and Thugs, allowing other Countries, in particular China, to gain tremendous Economic advantage over us by opening up hundreds of all Coal Fire Power Plants, I am authorizing my Administration to immediately begin producing Energy with BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN COAL.”
@randahl Now #trump repeatadly said he was going to end the war. He forgot to say in russia’s favour. #krasnov is a russian spy or he was force into it by #putin because putin had information to blackmail him. Also known that when #trump was financialy bankrupted some russian olighars stepped in and bought real estate from him. #russia
So, I'm just a lady who studies the horrors of fascism and right wing extermination campaigns, but is it a *good* idea to let nazi propagandists completely control the narrative surrounding a fascist government's rapidly expanding pogrom against a highly-vulnerable marginalized group?

Trump’s Anti-Trans Orders Get Most Airtime on Fox News, Report Finds
"In President Donald Trump’s first month back in the White House, Fox News broadcasted more coverage of his anti-transgender executive orders than both MSNBC and CNN, according to a report by Media Matters for America — allowing the right-wing network to shape public discourse on trans people at a critical time for transgender rights.
“The shocking lack of coverage by more liberal media has allowed Fox News to push increasingly harmful narratives about transgender people,” LGBTQ legislative researcher Allison Chapman told Truthout.
In his first 31 days back in office, Trump signed a slew of anti-trans executive orders undermining the rights and protections of transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people. These policies sought to eradicate legal recognition of transgender identities, reinstate a ban on transgender people in the military, cut federal funding for hospitals providing gender-affirming care to trans people under the age of 19, withhold federal funds from schools that allow trans women to compete in women’s sports, and reverse diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives."
Folks, I'm getting pretty tired of explaining to incredulous cis-het people that the larger liberal establishment doesn't care if trans people live or die; the evidence, whether it's raw television broadcast data, a lack of organized protest to oppose anti-trans laws, or maggot collaborators like Gavin Newsome gleefully telling nazi propagandists they make some good points about trans rights, is literally all around you. As both an antifascist researcher and a target of the anti-trans pogrom, I can assure you that this is real and I'm not overreacting. When a government pursing fascist policies and using eliminationist rhetoric officially decrees that there are only two "biologically" determined "sexes" and thus trans people don't exist, they are following an eliminationist blueprint designed to make trans people not existing an enforced reality; if you want to know how that story ends, you should study the step by step process of isolating, de-personing, and demonizing Jewish people that Hitler and the Nazi Party used to justify, enable, and enact the Holocaust. Maybe you already realize this, maybe you know that the fascists aren't going to stop eliminating groups of people they don't like after they get done erasing the existence of trans people, maybe you even care about trans lives on a personal level; but your leaders don't, the opinion makers who control public discourse don't, and the politics being pursued by the larger liberal establishment in the face of an active anti-trans pogrom actually occurring as we speak, make that abundantly clear.
Or, maybe you don't care. Perhaps, like a lot of cis het people, you're not openly transphobic, but you find trans people somehow scandalous, distasteful, or disconcerting, and that's enough to buy your silence and keep you from speaking out against the silence of your leaders and media organizations. I don't know how to make folks who don't think my existence matters care about trans lives if telling them that refusing to speak out and fight back now, means their families, their children, will be next, isn't enough. What I can tell you is that avoiding the subject and hoping the nazis lose interest in erasing trans people from our society isn't going to work, and hasn't worked for anyone else trying to stop a fascist takeover in all of human history.
The fact is that Fox News (and every other fascist propaganda outlet in America) hasn't been pushing a moral panic about trans people (particularly trans women) while gleefully celebrating legal assaults on trans people's right to exist, for no reason; these fascists are dead serious about this, they want their base to be excited about this, and they're putting in the work every day to make sure public opinion continues to favor further marginalizing, punishing, and yes eventually eliminating, trans people. The fact that corporate media muppets and bougie Democrat political strategists can point me to polls showing that the fascists are moving the needle, and defending trans people is unpopular with suburban white voters who picked Trump anyway, doesn't prove their cowardice is justified, it just proves that the larger liberal establishment isn't working hard enough to oppose an anti-trans pogrom; and that, whether you want to believe it or not, puts everyone in danger - even you.
This is glorious lmfao

A little bit of good news, not just for #trans folk, but for everyone.
After all, if the #Trump can arbitrarily define facts to say that trans folk are dishonest and so ineligible to serve in the #military, he can define Black folk as being not intelligent enough to be officers, or Jews as too untrustworthy to serve, or...
That's not necessary CinC discretion; it's arbitrary discrimination. And unconstitutional.
