actual court cases you can verify, look into, etc.
i couldn't find any court cases related to this supposidly company. just their frontpage website and a few irrelevent information.

woke up this morning wondering:

do parents of #transgender adults have the records office CORRECT their children’s birth certificate?

if this isn't common as part of the transition process in USA, it should be. i think it would be one of the most significant acts of resistance against the fascist binary.

if this isn't possible, then parents should be adopting their own children as a form of protest.

NC Newsline: Police use of artificial intelligence grows as rules lag behind. “As law enforcement agencies increasingly embrace AI, some civil liberties advocates, legal scholars and policing experts warn that the technology could amplify surveillance, introduce hidden biases into investigations and make it harder to challenge evidence in court. They also worry about a future in which AI takes […]

#SCOTUS struckdown a #Hawaii #law requiring people to get permission to carry #guns into stores & hotels, in its latest opinion backing #2A rights.

The court’s 6-3 decision means people can carry guns onto privately owned property like shopping malls & gas stations, unless the owners specifically say guns are banned at their establishments.

It’s a win for the #Trump admin, which argued the law violates the #SecondAmendment. It’s also a win for #MassShooting planners.

“Because I cannot conceive of a crime that would require the breadth of disclosures in the subpoena – identifying and sensitive medical information for an entire class of people for a six-year period – I have to find that the government’s interest does not outweigh the plaintiffs’ interest in privacy,” Failla said.

“The scope of information sought by the government here, which includes medical assessments, diagnoses, informed consent records, and revelation of plaintiffs’ transgender status, is significant,” she said, adding that that type of information is “squarely within the class of intimate materials warranting the strongest constitutional protection.”

Ruling from the bench on Wednesday, Failla, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, provisionally certified a class comprised of individuals who had received care from a #NYC provider over the past 6 years. She also issued a temporary restraining order that bars investigators from obtaining the records, including through a grand jury subpoena that had been issued to NYU Langone Hospitals in recent weeks.

The ruling from US District Judge Katherine Polk Failla is a significant blow to the #Trump admin’s ongoing nationwide criminal investigation into the provision of #gender #identity care, which numerous courts around the country have viewed as an improper fishing expedition because the government has struggled to identify any potential crimes by providers.

In a ruling unsealed Monday, US District Judge Patrick Schlitz found the “dominant purpose” of the subpoenas was to “coerce Minnesota officials into assisting the federal government with enforcing civil #immigration #law & to harass & retaliate against them for failing to do so.”

#ABC viewers across the country are getting a message from the network—If you like your #local stations, or #TheView, help us get the #government off our backs.

ABC on Monday launched an on-air campaign asking viewers to send comments to the #FCC’s website pushing back on the agency & its chairman, #BrendanCarr.


#law #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #FreePress #FourthEstate #Trump #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #fascism #censorship #propaganda #trumpaganda

Since February, the #FCC has been investigating whether ABC’s #TheView violated the commission’s equal-time rule, which guarantees equal airtime to all candidates running for the same public office. #ABC has maintained that “The View” qualifies as what the commission calls a “bona fide” news program & is exempt from the rule, accusing the FCC of violating the #FirstAmendment in a legal filing.

In April, the #FCC also ordered an early review of ABC’s 8 #local stations over its diversity, equity & inclusion [ #DEI ] practices. The review was announced just days after #Trump & #Melania Trump intensely criticized ABC late-night host #JimmyKimmel, though the FCC maintained that the timing was *purely coincidental* 😉.

Court orders Ohio restrictions on kids’ use of social media restored.

Known as the Social Media Parental Notification Act, the law requires companies to get parental permission for social media and gaming apps.

Ohio’s Parental Notification by Social Media Operators Act, Ohio Revised Code 1349.09, https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-1349.09

Part of the law states:
"The operator of an online web site, service, or product that targets children, or is reasonably anticipated to be accessed by children, shall do all of the following:

(1) Obtain verifiable consent for any contract with a child, including terms of service, to register, sign up, or otherwise create a unique username to access or utilize the online web site, service, or product, from the child's parent or legal guardian using any of the following methods:

(a) Requiring a parent or legal guardian to sign and return to the operator a form consenting to the contract by postal mail, facsimile, or electronic mail;

(b) Requiring a parent or legal guardian, in connection with a monetary transaction, to use a credit card, debit card, or other online payment system that provides notification of each discrete transaction to the primary account holder;

(c) Requiring a parent or legal guardian to call a toll-free telephone number implemented by the operator and staffed by trained personnel;

(d) Requiring a parent or legal guardian to connect to trained personnel by videoconference;

(e) Verifying a parent's or legal guardian's identity by checking a form of government-issued identification against databases of such information, and promptly deleting the parent's or legal guardian's identification from the operator's records after such verification is complete.

(2) Present to the child's parent or legal guardian a list of the features offered by an operator's online web site, service, or product related to censoring or moderating content, including any features that can be disabled for a particular profile.

(3) Provide to the child's parent or guardian a web site link at which the parent or legal guardian may access and review the list of features described in division (B)(2) of this section at another time.

“The opinion of the forensic pathologist in this case is that Ms. Michel was a vulnerable adult, suffering from untreated severe #MentalHealth issues & a significant #LanguageBarrier when she was released from federal custody on February 27,” Jim Madalinsky, the county’s public information officer, said in a statement. “Based on all available information during the investigation, the pathologist ruled Ms. Michel’s death a #homicide.”

#law #Trump #immigration #ICE #ExtrajudicialKillings

Over the course of 3 days, Michel appears to have never left that bench, said her family’s attorney, who viewed the security footage & shared stills with WaPo. She had a history of untreated mental health issues & sat staring as people passed by, a plastic bag with her belongings, including a cellphone, placed beside her.

#law #Trump #immigration #ICE #homicide #ExtrajudicialKillings

By March 2, the Haitian woman was no longer sitting. The last image captured in the footage, according to the attorney, shows her lying on the ground. Emergency responders arrived at the scene & transferred Michel to a hospital, where she died that day.

It was at least the second death this year involving an individual who was released by federal #immigration authorities & died days later of complications related to hypothermia.

Death of woman released by #ICE on a winter day is now ruled a #homicide
