#SCOTUS on Wednesday upheld Tennessee’s ban on #gender-affirming care for #transgender minors, a stunning setback to #TransgenderRights.
The 6-3 decision in a case from #Tennessee effectively protects from legal challenges many efforts by #Trump’s #Republican admin & #state govts to roll back #protections for transgender people. 26 other #states have laws similar to the one in TN.

"While these agents promise to make life easier by allowing users to “put your brain in a jar,” they can also gather valuable—and often sensitive—data. This is a core concern for #Signal, which is trusted by tens of millions of users, including those in government, military, human rights and journalism, for confidential communication and guaranteed #privacy."
