This Week in Trumplandia
Welcome to This Week in Trumplandia. Check in with us every Thursday for a weekly roundup of the most pertinent content on our country, which is currently spiraling down a crappy toilet drain. You owe it to yourself, your community, and your humanity to contribute whatever you can, even if it is just awareness of the truth.
45’s latest attack on the trans community: he is seeking a military ban of all transgender individuals.
This is the latest in MANY attacks, as his administration continually attempts to write the trans community out of civil rights protections.
Vulnerable Republicans just showed why fighting for trans rights is a political winner (and generally a thing we should all do, politics aside).
A valid question about the ban:
It's not immediately clear how Trump intends to carry out the ban he announced via tweet. Transgender people already serve in the military.
