The plot continues to thicken in the Fulton County GA elections search warrant case.
(tl;dr: Earlier this year, the feds got a criminal search warrant to seize an expansive range of documents related to the 2020 election, despite no clear probable cause of a prosecutable crime) https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72267501/71/pitts-v-united-states/
At a hearing last Friday, the judge asked whether the warrant was an abuse of criminal procedure as an end run in a civil case seeking the same docs.

Sheryl WeikalA bunch of legal podcasts and analyses will be discussing today's SCOTUS decision with lawyers who are neither queer nor trans, so if you want to talk to an attorney who (1) is actually trans, and (2) experienced conversion therapy, hit me up.
Internet Ginger 🏳️‍⚧️Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Lesser known things about transness:
- you do not have to experience dysphoria to be trans
- you do not need to "know" that you are trans your entire life
- you do not need to change your body or presentation in any way to be trans
- transfeminine people on hormones grow breasts (among many other feminizing changes)
- transmasculine people on hormones grow facial hair (among many other masculinizing changes)
- transness is different from sexuality; just like anyone else, trans people can have any kind of sexuality
- there is so much joy in transitioning and being yourself
- there is no particular look or way of being as a trans person. Sometimes online discourse flattens and narrows the apparent
trans experience to stereotypes.
- it is never too late to transition!!

Andy PiperNice to see a Mastodon shout-out on The Daily Show last night, thanks to @eff Executive Director Cindy Cohn!
It's a longer segment, with some interesting nuance around social media and censorship later in the conversation.

Alicja (and Artemida and Mara, see bio)(142/150, just a donation or two away :3 y'all are so generous, thank you so much, I think I'm safe for April at least <3)
It's Transgender Day of Visibility and I'm trans, hi.
I'm jobless and broke and have overspent in the past month or two.
I don't suppose I could get a little money to make April a bit lighter on me?
Say, if I could collect 150 Euro (which is like 170 USD), it'd make things manageable for me.
Pretty please? My mental health is in the toilet and I could use one source of stress less.

Doc ImpossibleToday is Trans Day of Visibility, and I fight to be as visible as I can every day, because other people's visibility saved my goddamned life, but more importantly because being trans is fucking beautiful.
Let me repeat that.
Being trans is fucking beautiful.
I wouldn't want to be any other way.
I hope your Trans Day of Visibility today is fierce and joyful.
When we're visible, we win. Always.
I remember the late '00s, the avalanche of constitutional amendments banning gay marriage. I remember the fear, the hate, the huge support for those measures. And now massive majorities support gay marriage. *Massive*.
We win by being visible.
I want to repeat that.
We win by being visible.
All of our research shows that the main way to deradicalize a bigot is for a member of the group they hate to be just... visible. Unremarkable. It doesn't work on everyone, of course, but the lies and fear and hatred that radical bigotry relies on at the most basic levels *CANNOT* survive contact with reality for long.
Being visible is how we beat this. It always has been. It always will be.
Being visible changes the world.
When they fight us, we fight back harder. Listen to your elders.
