"When anger about #Israeli government policy spills over into #harassment or #violence directed at #Jews in the U.S. or any other country, that’s #antisemitism."

#TransPeople Have Disappeared From #ICE Records, Against Congressional Orders

The #Trump administration has made efforts to "erase" #transgender people, who face violence and medical neglect behind bars.

by Matt Sledge, July 11 2025

"President Donald Trump’s administration has vanished another inconvenient fact: the number of transgender people in #immigration #detention.

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement quietly stopped reporting how many transgender people it keeps locked up in February, as the total population of immigrants in detention soared and the agency rescinded protections for trans people.

"The move follows Trump’s executive order in January to essentially stop recognizing that trans people exist. According to the nonprofit Vera Institute of Justice, it appears to run afoul of a congressional mandate to report how many transgender and other vulnerable people are being kept in immigration detention.

"The move has complicated advocates’ efforts to keep trans immigrants safe behind bars, where they face a heightened risk of violence and medical neglect.

" 'It’s part and parcel of a larger effort to really erase trans people,' said Bridget Crawford, the director of law and policy for the nonprofit advocacy group #ImmigrationEquality. 'They are not even willing to try to track the trans population, despite the congressional mandate.'

"Her group released a survey last year finding 'systemic' mistreatment of #LGBTQ+ and #HIVPositive people in immigration detention. About one third of the respondents reported sexual and physical #abuse or #harassment, and nearly all reported verbal abuse, including threats of violence. Most said they received inadequate medical care or were denied care outright.

"Congress directed the Department of Homeland Security, the parent agency of ICE, to report the number of transgender people in detention starting in 2021, according to the Vera Institute."

The Intercept · Trans People Have Disappeared From ICE Records, Against Congressional OrdersBy Matt Sledge

Trump on Wednesday threatened to sue #NewYorkTimes & #CNN over their media coverage of a preliminary #classified report that conflicted with his assertion that U.S. strikes had #obliterated #Iran #nuclear program. #Press #freedom groups say Trump uses #lawsuits to target and #intimidate #news outlets, which is a common tactic in other countries with poor media #freedom records. #journalism #democracy #fear #harassment #litigation #courts #law #legal #lawyers nytimes.com/2025/06/26/busines

President Trump and his allies have sharply criticized The New York Times and CNN in recent days for publishing articles about a preliminary intelligence report.

“I felt totally helpless," said the #student’s mother, Jennifer, who declined to share her last name. "It’s horrible. I remember appealing to the principal. I mean, time and time again, asking him, ‘How old is your daughter?' And what if somebody was saying something like this but to your daughter?’”

The #lawsuit outlines multiple incidents of #harassment, including a student spitting on her, death threats, and #antisemitic remarks such as “Hitler’s plan should have worked” and “I hate the #Jews.”

In a statement to KING 5, #Seattle Public #Schools said in part, "#SPS will review and address these allegations. The district remains dedicated to creating an inclusive and equitable environment for all #students, and does not tolerate #racism, #discrimination, or #violence in any form."

…”when the #MeToo movement began, in the twenty-tens, something changed. Powerful #men like #HarveyWeinstein were accused of serially assaulting #women & then actually faced punishment. Women came forward w/stories of #harassment by prominent #journalists & #SiliconValley founders, & the internet took up their cause. Men lost their jobs; some went to #prison.

[Then came the backlash]

"#DonaldTrump using #powers of #presidency augmented w powers that the #Constitution doesn’t give him to make war on #blue #states and their officials. There have been critical #historical periods when presidents used federal law to enforce constitutional rights against recalcitrant state officials. But never since the #CivilWar, if then, have we seen a #president undertake a methodical program of #harassment & domination of states controlled by his #political opponents." harrylitman.substack.com/p/tru

Talking Feds Substack · Trump’s War on Blue AmericaBy Harry Litman

The cultural landscape has just about everyone turning away from bullying, #Harassment and #Discrimination.

Pretty much like poverty gets turned away from.

#Bullying and psychological abuse is unpleasant, unsettling, it creates negative energy.
Just tell the targets to "Let it go. Don't give it energy. Move on.", & feel good about yourself?

Or consider what you're co-creating, decide if the well-being of the target means anything to you, and if it does then ask, "What would help look like?"

Content note: S✨xual harassement

I never wanted to announce my engagement nor did I want to ever marry someone. Though, during my bikepacking trip from Germany to Turkey I had to point out several times that I am engaged.

I met many kind people who helped me with food, water, knowledge, encouraging words, and shelter. But also I met people who were nice to me because they covertly wanted to have s✨x. All of them were men. Once they invited me for dinner or gave me a hitchhike, they started telling me that I was beautiful, pretty or sweet and asked whether I was married, whether I wanted to stay at their home or hotel etc. I persistently declined & repeatedly told them that I was engaged.

None of them physically attacked me. But some crossed my limits by touching my shoulders, hugging me, or giving me kisses on my cheek. Sometimes I was too weak to fight off the harassments. E.g. after I just climbed 2000 meters in the Balkans. I was exhausted. My body could barely move anymore. Nor my mind.

It is not about you not being able to fend off their assaults or only about s✨xual harassment in particular. It’s about men not respecting boundaries. For example, one men drank alcohol while he was driving, even though I told him not to. We ended up in a police control. Luckily we didn’t have any accident and the Turkish police was only interested in harder drugs. But it could have turned out differently.

Violence against women, non-binary, trans-, inter- and agender folks is commited everywhere on this planet. In some countries more often than in others. But it‘s something present everywhere you go. Regarding the perpetrator it is not primarily about religion. Nor about ethnic affiliation/ascription. And never it is about skin color. It‘s about men. Men harassing, intimidating, hurting, and even murdering non-male persons because patriarchy taught them that they were superior.

They are not.
