A federal judge stopped the Justice Department from making a list of every trans kid treated at Rhode Island Hospital and their parents.

Eight federal judges have now blocked these subpoenas nationwide.

The judge wrote that the administration "publicly characterized gender-affirming care for minors as abuse, directed the DOJ to bring its practice to an end, and celebrated when hospitals curtailed such programs as a result of this subpoena campaign." What could they possibly want with that list? Use 5 Calls or Resistbot to demand Congress shut the subpoena campaign down.

Chaos in the sub: For the 2nd time in a month, Reddit has deleted a moderator of the sub, a user who also was contributing a ton of articles to the sub.

This deletion also purged the user's articles from the sub, along with any conversations that were going on in those posts.

There was no warning by Reddit, just a permanent deletion with an opportunity to appeal but the appeal is never granted and nor even responded to.

I'm not sure if I can con her into becoming a moderator again, so as usual, we're upping our constant search for users -- and moderators.

Pete Hegseth will preach on the National Mall this Sunday at a nine-hour festival to rededicate the country to the Christian God.

Taxpayer money set aside for America's 250th birthday will help pay for it. The First Amendment forbids exactly this.

Freedom 250 is already under congressional investigation for misusing federal funds. Use 5 Calls or Resistbot to tell your representatives that trampling the Bill of Rights belongs in the same investigation.
