A United Nations draft report alleges a global effort to redefine “women” and erode their legal standing, with the aim of excluding them as a distinct category, based on biological sex. The report, compiled by the OHCHR’s special rapporteur, Reem Alsalem, also claims gender dysphoria is “socially contagious” and calls for restrictions on transitioning for minors. Furthermore, it commends the UK Supreme Court’s ruling on the definition of “woman” and advocates for female-only spaces, despite a lack of evidence supporting the idea that trans women are a threat to cisgender women. The report’s conclusions rely on disputed theories and research, which have been criticized for promoting anti-trans sentiment.

Millions of undocumented immigrants will no longer be eligible for bond hearings, according to an ICE memo. That phrase alone should set off alarm bells for anyone concerned about due process and the rule of law. The fact that a memo, a piece of internal communication, can seemingly circumvent the courts and established legal procedures is deeply troubling. It’s as if fundamental rights, carefully enshrined in the Constitution, can be brushed aside with a stroke of a pen.

Trump: McMahon will begin the process of dismantling the Education Department after a Supreme Court win, a move that’s already sparking concern.
The reality of defunding education is already evident. In one instance, a state education department saw its annual funding for underserved populations, workforce development, and new immigrants drop from $729 million to zero in a single year.
