This framing is misleading. France's armed forces have denied having given any such authorization (articles in French news outlets 1, 2), instead France has clarified that US' support aircraft are temporarily permitted to use one particular airbase in Southern France according to NATO rules.

In a new opinion released Friday, Texas AG Ken Paxton has effectively prohibited therapists from treating trans kids—unless they try to convert them.

 

A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

 

Under payment processor pressure, 3D asset marketplace Jinxxy, known for VRChat and VTubing assets, bans adult content. The restrictions are especially strict here, with bans not only encompassing genitalia and sexual acts. Jinxxy is one in a long line of storefronts affected.

 

The London Police raided a citizen's home for possession of devkit consoles, including those from Microsoft (e.g. Xbox), Nintendo, and Sony. SEGA hired multiple contractors to clear out its office prior to relocating in London, with those contractors and subcontractors being tasked, we're told, with getting rid of the devkits and consoles. In at least one instance, those were taken to a scrapyard and then sold to a reseller, who arranged to sell a lot worth $82,000 USD (61,000 GBP) to the Video Game Preservation Museum. Hiring a PI firm, SEGA coordinated with Fusion 85 and London City Police to raid the home of the reseller, seizing the devkits. In an email erroneously sent to GamersNexus by a waste removal contractor, though, we learn that it may not be theft at hand, but rather, corporate negligence by SEGA or the waste contractors.

That is a fair point on a personal level, but many people (myself included) appreciate a digested version of an official document and additional context for it provided by a journalistic article. Overall there is no reason to disbelief the detailed information provided in the article and assume that the reporter faked the document, unless someone wants to cast doubt on the unjustifiable treatment of trans people by the Trump government.

What is the advantage? The article explains the context much better than the PDF and contains a link to the document in the first paragraph.

I agree with you and the lineage is obvious when looking at how Steve Bannon pushed GamerGate at Breitbart and then went straight on to become Trump's campaign manager.

And Bannon's name missing from that article is one of the article's major flaws, considering how much Bannon shaped the MAGA movement as a whole.

I agree with you that the community will survive, yet there are many who won't.

First they removed language mentioning trans people, now they removed the rainbow flag and soon the entire monument will be gone. "First they came" and so on and so forth.

I know this is a hard pill to swallow for most people, but our conscious thoughts are not necessarily "ourselves", even though they often get framed as such. We are the whole, the uncountable unconscious small machinations, as well as the big thoughts.

As somebody else mentioned: Reacting first and thinking about it later was most often advantageous for our ancestors. "Flee from the lion first and think about that was necessary later."

But that does not mean that the process of arriving at the point of "Flee from the lion" isn't individual and very much "ours". It's just the fastest part of our brain taking the lead and everything else following.
