AnarchoNinaAnalyzesSo, is the fascist's ongoing anti-trans pogrom still a "culture war distraction" when it's affecting education funding for the State of Maine - because their Governor won't ban trans women from school sports in deference to the Trump regime's stated quest to erase trans people from public life?<a href="https://truthout.org/articles/usda-suspends-maine-education-funds-over-states-support-for-trans-athletes/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://truthout.org/articles/usda-suspends-maine-education-funds-over-states-support-for-trans-athletes/</a>USDA Suspends Maine Education Funds Over State’s Support for Trans Athletes"The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced Wednesday that it is suspending federal funding for select education programs in Maine, citing the state’s refusal to comply with President Donald Trump’s anti-trans directive to exclude transgender students from girls’ and women’s sports.In a letter to Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D), Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the funding freeze would affect “certain administrative and technological functions in schools,” and warned that “[t]his is only the beginning.”Rollins also noted that the USDA is reviewing Maine’s research and education-related funding to assess compliance with the U.S. Constitution, federal law, and the Trump administration’s anti-trans policy agenda. She specifically invoked Title IX — which the White House has weaponized against trans people — and Title VI, which the administration has distorted to go after diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts."You might be tempted to scoff at this story because Department of Agriculture funding is a narrow application of force by the regime, to try and dictate Maine's compliance with Trump's executive order, but as the article notes this is part of a much larger attack on Maine's education funding to force the state's compliance with the regime's persecution of trans people via an executive order that is being challenged in court still. I have no idea if we even have laws or constitutional rights in this country anymore, but if SCOTUS doesn't want to play Calvinball, Trump's order is almost certainly unconstitutional and shouldn't survive legal challenges. Given the existence of a 6-3 fascist high SCOTUS that is quite happy to make up the law as it goes to support the Trump regime's agenda however, you'll forgive me if I don't have a lot of confidence in the courts to save trans folks, particularly trans women like me. Speaking more broadly, I'm sharing this article to point out how shortsighted and utterly ineffective the liberal establishment's plan to stop talking about trans rights is, even in the face of an anti-trans pogrom, because they think doing so will win them elections that might not even happen or be fair at all. The fact is the anti-trans pogrom is a foundational plank in the Trump regime's larger fascist agenda; it doesn't matter if bougie lib politicians want to talk about it, they're going to make you folks either help them eliminate trans people, or talk about why the rights of trans people are human rights and must be protected. You don't get to opt out, they're pushing this agenda whether you want to talk about it or not. <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransRights</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GOP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GOP</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AntiTransProgrom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiTransProgrom</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maine</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Transpohobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transpohobia</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/JanetMills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JanetMills</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USDA</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Patriarchy</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CultureWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CultureWar</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Education</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilRights</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Democrats</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BrookeRollins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BrookeRollins</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesI'm often leery of sharing stories like this because the point isn't, and cannot be, that anti-trans policies and the dehumanization of trans people in our society is bad, because it also affects cis people, particularly women, in horrifyingly negative ways. One of the primary reasons we've facing down a politically empowered fascist Trump regime, is that Americans as a society have already accepted the idea that some people don't matter, and aren't human enough for the full spectrum of human rights; even if the folks making those arguments rarely admit what they're actually arguing for in a big picture sense. As in the case of Muslims, migrants, student protestors and women who want to control their own bodies, our society's casual disregard for the human and civil rights of trans people has acted as a permission gate for the Trump regime's larger project to strip the rights of anyone they don't like, or who dares to speak out in dissent.Despite my reservations about centering cis experiences when talking about the anti-trans pogrom however, the fact is that cis women *are* negatively affected by the war on trans existences in both a micro and macro sense; whether it's hate-fueled transinvestigators invading women's bathrooms to "protect women," or the way anti-trans propaganda serves as a stepping stone for larger patriarchal efforts to possess women's bodies, this is a very real consequence of a normalized anti-trans pogrom that dehumanizes, otherizes, and criminalizes trans people (particularly trans women.) Furthermore, as the story of Dani Davis, a Florida woman fired by Walmart for being tall enough to trigger abusive behavior from a raging transphobe, demonstrates -the reality is that a society that isn't prepared to stand up for the human rights of trans people, isn't likely to stand up for the human rights of women, or workers, either. For more on that, let's turn to this short (14 minute) video by Mike Figueredo from THR:The Humanist Report: Walmart Fires Cis Employee *BECAUSE* She Was Harassed by Transphobic Customer in Bathroom"A Walmart employee named Dani Davis was accosted and threatened by a transphobic customer during her shift, and she was subsequently fired because of it. The customer followed her into the bathroom and accused her of being a man and yelled transphobic slurs at her. Days after she reported the incident to her supervisor, she was fired because she supposedly posed a “security risk” to others in the store. In this video we’ll talk about this disturbing story and discuss how transphobia harms ALL women; both trans and cis alike."<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nauz7001Q0U" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nauz7001Q0U</a><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransRights</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AntiTransPogrom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiTransPogrom</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Walmart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Walmart</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilRights</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/LaborRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborRights</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Propaganda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Propaganda</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DaniDavis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DaniDavis</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Transphobia</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Collaboration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Collaboration</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Patriarchy</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CultureWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CultureWar</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TransRightsAreHumanRights</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"If this becomes a pattern — the Trump administration threatens to withhold funding to institutions that don’t match its position on culture war issues — this would speak volumes about the state of America’s colleges and universities. They say they’re graduating irreverent rebels who are ready to change society. Yet they’re willing to bend to the will of the president?One way for universities to stand on principle would be to tap into their endowments. Elite colleges are sitting on massive pots of money.In Penn’s case, that endowment is about $22 billion.In Columbia’s case, that endowment is nearly $15 billion.These funds could easily be used to buttress any federal funding that the administration is using as leverage over these schools. They don’t have to simply comply. They have more than enough money to weather the storm for four years.Does that mean that there are no legitimate debates about transgender athletes or protests over the Middle East conflict? Absolutely not. I think both of these highly contentious issues have plenty of nuance to them.But if these colleges and universities decide to let the threat of federal funding decide these debates for them, it would prove that they’re far from the bold, reformist institutions they portray themselves as. They’re just a bunch of conformists, worried about their prestige and paychecks, after all."<a href="https://www.theamericansaga.com/p/if-elite-universities-really-oppose" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theamericansaga.com/p/if-elite-universities-really-oppose</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Columbia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Columbia</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Penn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Penn</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Universities</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEd</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CultureWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CultureWar</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DEI</a>
