2025/01/23 - Trump sent a letter to federal employees in blatant defiance of the Civil Rights Act demanding that all facts and circumstances surrounding DEI programs and hirings resulting from such be reported to a hotline, threatening vague consequences for offices that fail to comply with this. DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) is the latest in a series of terms white supremacists have fixated on for describing the fictional notion that straight cis abled white men are innately more qualified and competent in all fields, and any hirings of women, queer people, or people of color are indicative that a more qualified straight cis abled white man was passed over.
2025/01/20 - During Trump's second inauguration, noted fascist Elon Musk took the stage to make multiple unmistakable nazi salutes and paraphrased white supremacist rallying cry, the fourteen words.

2025/01/16 - Out of work journalist sets up prove of concept preview of Just the Facts, a site presenting various news stories as short informative blocks of text on a single page, rather than articles of arbitrary length gated behind paywalls with potentially misleading headlines baiting readers into clicking through for details, as most people only read these often wildly innacurate headlines and do not proceed to the articles themselves.

Transphobia Facts
2025/01/29 - Trump continues to sign a new blatantly transphobic executive order each day, with today's being a particularly incoherent screed of off the wall nazi propaganda and threats to cut funding to public schools which either fail to actively indoctrinate children into white supremacy, or allow trans children to attend.
2025/01/28 - Yet another executive order from Trump aims to deprive trans people, particularly children, from medical care, which in some cases would be fatal if suspended. The rambling attempt to justify this seeks to dismiss all existing medical knowledge and international standards of care for trans people, and instead recommends the guidance of a fake study which instead insists that being trans is some sort of magical mind disease that can be contracted by reading a specific post on a trans woman's blog.
2025/01/27 - Further proving he has no grip on realty, Trump calls for trans people to be banned from military service, claiming trans women in particular are "falsehoods" whose existence "conflicts with a soldier's commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle.

2025/01/20 - As part of a wave of day 1 executive orders, Donald Trump makes an incoherently worded declaration of animosity towards trans people. The exact effects of this are not fully clear, but at present, no new passports (or other federally issued forms of ID) or renewals existing documents with updated gender markers will be issued to trans Americans, and special attention has been given to the notion of housing trans prisoners amongst the wrong gender.
2025/01/15 - The UK government is rejecting calls for a proper peer review of April 2024's Cass report, the latest piece of transphobic propaganda being used to justify bigoted policy, in spite of the actual internationally recognized authority on transition related healthcare WPATH observing, "the Cass Review relies on selective and inconsistent use of evidence, and its recommendations often do not follow from the data presented in the systematic reviews."
2025/01/14 - The "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025" has passed the house in the U.S., aiming to ban trans girls from sports on the basis of "a person's reproductive biology and genetics at birth." Those voting against the bill have noted that in addition to being a proposed fix for a problem which does not actually exist, in practice this will serve to enable child predators by giving broad permission to strip and physically "inspect" children's genitals, as has been the case with similar policies throughout history.
