The rule could have heavy impacts towards trans people across society.

Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

Importantly, the gender ideology prohibition has no age limitation—hospitals could be targeted not just for providing care to minors but for providing gender-affirming care to adults, because prescribing hormone therapy to a transgender patient of any age could be deemed promoting the belief that "sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic."

Despite ICJ genocide warnings, 51 nations kept arming Israel, even after pledging to halt support.

A months-long Al Jazeera investigation has found that military-related goods originating from at least 51 countries and self-governing territories continued entering Israel after the ICJ’s warning of a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza. Based primarily on an analysis of Israeli Tax Authority (ITA) import data between 2022 and 2025, and supported by customs records and freedom of information requests, the investigation traced military supply chains linked to countries across Europe, Asia, North America and South America. All named countries are signatories to the Genocide Convention. In some cases, the military-related goods originated from countries that had formally imposed arms embargoes on Israel or had partially suspended arms supplies to the country. In fact, according to the ITA data, arms imports increased after the ICJ ruling, with the largest share falling under the category of munitions. The five largest countries of origin for military-related goods entering Israel - the United States, India, Romania, Taiwan and the Czech Republic - all recorded increased shipments during the war.

[...]

Patrick Wilken, a researcher at Amnesty International, said the scale of Israel’s military campaign made such international support indispensable. “There is no way that Israel alone could have sustained the intensity of its massive bombardment across the Gaza Strip,” he said. “Israel has relied on a global supply chain of arms, munitions and support services, primarily supplied by the United States but supported by many other states.” As the war continued, weapons-related imports to Israel increased. The data appears to bear that out.

Neve Gordon, an Israeli professor of international law and human rights at Queen Mary University of London, told Al Jazeera that “country after country has contributed to the evisceration of the international legal order by feigning blindness and refusing to abide by their legal obligations". “This is myopic. The very states that helped build this legal order, and invoke it constantly, are now playing a central role in its dismantlement.”

May 25: Six years since the police murder of George Floyd rocked the world.

The billionaires and their politicians were shaken by the popular uprising that followed, and now they are trying to exact revenge. But the struggle continues. We won’t give up. #BlackLivesMatter

sounds very similar to a radio story i heard in 2014 ago about credit card debt. the debt got sold to a collection company and a couple received a court summons. they knew they had taken on debt, but they were confused about who this new company was and where specifically the number they were supposed to owe came from.

they show up in court and just ask the lawyer for the collection company: can you prove where this number comes from? Do you have a contract showing that you purchased our debt? probably luckily for them, a reporter researching a book on the topic showed up and asked the same questions.

10 minutes later they get in front of the judge and the collection company drops the whole case and theyre free to go. story is below, it has a transcript in the link too

Israel has besieged Gaza for over 19 years, making food and medicine scarce. However, after the October War, Israel completely blocked the entry of anything into Gaza, effectively imposing a total blockade. Gaza is a giant prison controlled by the worst jailers in the world: the Zionist Nazis who kill, displace, and starve us without mercy.

We have endured so much and are still alive thanks to your help and donations. Without them, we would have died long ago. With them, we can buy food and medicine for my brother, who suffers from anemia and needs urgent treatment before he dies from this illness, the siege, and starvation.

ahmedaldani333

Please, friends, help us by donating so we can buy medicine for my brother. He hasn't taken it for over a month, and his condition is deteriorating every day. Please help us so we can buy healthy food to satisfy our hunger and help my brother recover. Please don't ignore us. Please donate to us.

Please support my dear friend Ahmed. He and his family have struggled with food insecurity through this genocidal war, and he and his brother are now deeply malnourished and need medicine, supplements, and nutritious food so their bodies can recover.

I would love to share this with everyone who may happen to see this post. Please support this wonderful human being. He spent nearly a half century in prison for a crime he never committed. And the only thing that kept him going was his artistic endeavors. He deserves the best life can offer anyone ❤️
