Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. On this day we remember our trans siblings who are no longer with us due to transphobia and anti-trans violence. We honour their memory and remind ourselves to fight for the living. We will keep working until all trans people can live happy and fulfilled lives free from transphobia.

1/4 🚨 The Digital Omnibus proposals are here - and our rights and protections online are officially under threat 🚨

The proposals published today endanger the very core of EU's digital protections for people - the #GDPR, #ePrivacy and the #AIAct.

Weakening these safeguards would entrench #surveillance, profiling and algorithmic #discrimination in every aspect of society 🙅🏾

Dena Robinson, a lawyer in the #CivilRights Division:

“The idea of the investigation was that #PerkinsCoie supposedly engaged in illegal #discrimination against #WhiteMen. But Perkins Coie is an extremely white firm — only 3% of the partners are #Black. When my colleague pointed that out, the leadership didn’t care. They’d already reached their conclusion. They continued instructing my colleague to just find the evidence for it.”

They say some breeds are dangerous.
But Tito never got that memo. 🐾💙

Manche sagen, bestimmte Rassen seien gefährlich.
Aber Tito hat diese Nachricht wohl nie bekommen. 🐾💙

The problem with the breed-specific legislation is that it legitimates prejudice. ❌

Das Problem mit der rassenspezifischen Gesetzgebung ist, dass sie Vorurteile legitimiert. ❌

A dog like Tito is considered to have a higher danger potential just because of his breed. 🙄

Ein Hund wie Tito gilt als “Hund mit erhöhtem Gefährdungspotential”. 🙄

But he is proof that every dog is an individual. And I know he’s not an exception. 🔎

Aber er ist der Beweis dafür, dass jeder Hund ein Individuum ist. Und ich weiß, dass er keine Ausnahme ist. 🔎

New #Pentagon policy undercuts #trans troops' ability to ask to stay in the #military, AP learns

The Pentagon has rolled out a new policy that will severely undercut the ability for #transgender troops who have been banned from the #ArmedForces by the #Trump admin to turn to boards of their peers to argue for their right to stay in the military, according to a memo obtained by The AP.

If #military separation boards decide to allow #transgender service members to remain in uniform, commanders can override that decision, acc/to an Oct 8 memo to all the services from the #Pentagon’s undersecretary for personnel & readiness, Anthony Tata. That breaks with longstanding policy that boards act independently.
