Yeah and bytch nikkas like you dont want to do ANYTHING to change what democrats defend ideologically in order to WIN ELECTIONS.The President is literally impounding congressional funds in violation of the Constitution and statute, firing inspector generals without following legal procedures, and extorting a sitting Mayor to enforce his policies, yet these unserious goofs are talking about trans people.
This would be funny if it wasn't so fukking stupid

These pussies
You are mentally ill. Your level of obsession with this topic is not normal and you need to get help.
What percentage of your posts in Higher Learning over the past two years have been about trans people? I would bet a decent amount of money it's atleast 40%. Do you think that's normal behavior?

What truth? You keep regurgitating the same tired, bad-faith garbage that MAGA peddles to justify stripping people of rights. You clowns always try to dress up bigotry as "jUsT tELlInG tHe TrUtH," but it's the same fascist playbook every time. You start by scapegoating a marginalized group, you manufacture a moral panic, and then you use it as an excuse to strip freedoms for everyone.
And you want examples? Republicans are literally banning trans healthcare, banning books, criminalizing speech, and pushing laws to erase trans people from public life. That *is* fascism. They are using state power to control and eliminate groups they don't like and you want to join in. You can sit here and pretend it's just about "truth," but all you're doing is parroting the same bullshyt authoritarians have used forever.
No, there is such a thing as too late. Kamala pivoted too late.
Newsom evolved on this issue and will continue to skate to the middle in order to secure his chance at winning.
He STANDS for what he stands for. People’s opinions on this trans cult bullshyt should have changed once we realized what utter nonsense it was this whole time.
Newsom has no problem defending himself. You’re just mad people have pivoted on a few issues.
You’re not confusing me with someone trying to cut their dikk off, are you? And telling kids to do that, right?
for youths. The same way all western countries have.
I’ve got threads against this. But if dems had pivoted on immigration and trans issues we could have protected book bans.
Republicans made inroads because dems were defending books with degenerate bullshyt in them and now we’re out of office and can’t protect ANY of them.

What law has been passed to erase trans people from public life?
Your rights are abrogated because you’re told to use the bathroom of the sex you were born as or you can’t cheat against women sports with out of range hormone levels
I’m down to argue down this trans shyt to the gills. You hoe ass nikkas can’t defend the science, history, or politics or even the laws on the books about it.
Yall can’t say dems were wrong on immigration issues AND POLICE issues then be wrong on trans issues.

YOU LOST THE POPULAR VOTE. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT TO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. CHANGES WILL BE MADE AND YOU WILL ADJUST. OTHERWISE, GET THE fukk OUT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
DEMOCRATS WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE ISSUES THAT HURT US AT THE POLLS.

Johns Hopkins to Cut More Than 2,000 Workers Funded by Federal Aid
The university, a leader in scientific research, has been hard hit by the Trump administration’s cuts, which will slash at least $800 million from its budget.

Johns Hopkins University, one of the country’s leading centers of scientific research, said on Thursday that it would eliminate more than 2,000 workers in the United States and abroad because of the Trump administration’s steep cuts, primarily to international aid programs.
The layoffs, the most in the university’s history, will involve 247 domestic workers for the university, which is based in Baltimore, and an affiliated center. Another 1,975 positions will be cut in 44 countries. They affect the university’s Bloomberg School of Public Health, its medical school and an affiliated nonprofit, Jhpiego.
Nearly half the school’s total revenue last year came from federally funded research, including $800 million from the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Johns Hopkins is one of the top university recipients of the funding that the administration is aiming to slash. And it appears to be among the most deeply affected of the major research institutions that are reeling from cuts — or the threat of cuts — to federal money that they depend on for research studies and running labs.
In a statement on Thursday calling it a “difficult day,” Johns Hopkins said it was “immensely proud” of its work on the projects, which included efforts to “care for mothers and infants, fight disease, provide clean drinking water and advance countless other critical, lifesaving efforts around the world.”
In a statement last week describing Johns Hopkins’s reliance on federal funding, Ron Daniels, the university’s president said, “We are, more than any other American university, deeply tethered to the compact between our sector and the federal government.”
Of the school’s total operating revenue in 2023, $3.8 billion, or nearly half, came federally funded research. About $800 million comes from the U.S. Agency for International Development, which the Trump administration is in the process of dismantling.
The Trump administration has said that it wants to make the government leaner and more efficient by, among other measures, dramatically cutting financial support for the program, which promotes public health and food security in low-income countries.
In ordering cutbacks in the agency, which amount to a 90 percent reduction in its operations, President Trump said that it was run by “radical left lunatics” and that is was riddled with “tremendous fraud.”
Critics of the decision, however, have said the cuts are ushering in a new era of isolationism that could prove to be dangerous. Sunil Solomon, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins, said the cuts would lead to a resurgence in the spread of H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS.
“What true great nations do is help other nations, but now, it seems, we’re America first,” Dr. Solomon said.
The administration has also sought to reduce the amount of money that the National Institutes of Health sends to university for research, cuts that have been blocked for now in the courts. If they go into effect, those cuts would reduce federal payments to Johns Hopkins by more than $100 million a year, according to an analysis of university figures.
The university, which receives about $1 billion a year in N.I.H. funding and is currently running 600 clinical trials, is one of the plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit challenging those cuts.
Separately, the Trump administration also has targeted specific schools for cuts. It slashed $400 million from Columbia’s budget last week based on accusations that it had failed to protect students and faculty from antisemitism.
Johns Hopkins and Columbia are on a list of 10 schools that the administration says are being scrutinized by an executive branch antisemitism task force. The administration has threatened to reduce federal funding for schools on the list, and others, that it views as being noncompliant with federal civil rights laws.
In addition to the more than 2,000 employees whose jobs have been eliminated, the university said that an additional 78 domestic employees and 29 international would be furloughed at reduced schedules.
The cuts at Johns Hopkins involve programs funded by U.S.A.I.D. through which American universities have worked with global partners, largely to advance public health and agricultural research. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this week that 5,200 of the agency’s 6,200 contracts had been canceled and that the remaining programs would be operated directly by the State Department, eliminating the need for U.S.A.I.D., which is under the State Department.
The reduction in the agency’s funding has resulted in program terminations at several departments at Johns Hopkins, including the medical school and the Bloomberg School of Public Health, as well as a nonprofit affiliated with the university, JHPIEGO.
Research projects that are being eliminated include international work on tuberculosis, AIDS and cervical cancer, as well as programs that directly benefit residents of Baltimore.
Dr. Solomon, the epidemiologist, runs a $50 million, six-year program to improve H.I.V. outcomes in India. He said the budget cuts in his program alone would result in layoffs of about 600 people in the United States and India. The program had led to, among other things, the diagnosis of almost 20,000 people with H.I.V. through contact tracing.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Dr. Solomon said. “Stopping funding isn’t going to kill you today, but in six months you’re going to see an impact around the world.”
Dr. Judd Walson runs the department of international health at Johns Hopkins, which oversaw a five-year, $200 million program to diagnose and control tuberculosis in 20 countries funded by U.S.A.I.D.
In Kampala, Uganda, he said, the program was the only way children were diagnosed.
“That’s just one example of how the sudden withdrawal of support is having real impacts on survival,” he said.
In addition to the loss of jobs at Johns Hopkins, he said, the loss of the programs will lead to a spike in communicable diseases worldwide.
What is essentially a shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. has had significant effects at universities around the country.
An organization called USAID StopWork, which is tracking the layoffs, said that overall, 14,000 domestic workers had lost their jobs so far, with thousands more anticipated.
Research by the Federal Reserve shows that universities serve as major economic engines in many agriculture regions, from Iowa to Florida, meaning that the impact of the administration’s cuts to science research will be felt in both red states and left-leaning communities like Baltimore.
The elimination of a $500 million agriculture project called Feed the Future, which funded agriculture labs at 19 universities in 17 states, means many of those labs must shutter.
At the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, 30 people have lost their jobs at a Feed the Future lab that worked on improving soybean cultivation in Africa, according to Peter D. Goldsmith, a professor of agriculture who ran that laboratory.
At Mississippi State University in Starkville, Miss., a fisheries laboratory was shut down, according to Sidney L. Salter, a university spokesman, who did not disclose the number of jobs lost.
Economic ripple effects of the funding cuts are expected to spread through the Baltimore area. Johns Hopkins, which enrolls about 30,000 students, is also one of Maryland’s largest private employers.
