1. good news!!

2. The new regulations officially add “gender identity” onto the list of protections from sex-based discrimination for the first time, though the administration said it has already been applying this standard.

   It also now offers full protection from all “sex-based harassment,” broadening the definition to include “sexual violence and unwelcome sex-based conduct that creates a hostile environment by limiting or denying a person’s ability to participate in or benefit from a school’s education program or activity.

   The regulations update also enhances protections for students, employees, and applicants against discrimination “based on pregnancy, childbirth, termination of pregnancy, lactation, related medical conditions, or recovery from these conditions.

   It rolls back a lot of the bullshit the trump admin did as well

11. Curious about how pessimistic lawyers are that we will be hearing how scotus overturns Grove City College v Bell. Given our trajectory with this court I bet they are hearing the case before the end of 2025.

12. Fuck. Yes.

13. Bye bye to women’s equality
