          on Being ’s Estranged Daughter, Protecting and Taking on the Online

          In Teen Vogue’s special issue cover story, the estranged 20-year-old daughter of Elon talks about the 'cartoonishly evil' administration and being a young today.

          Excerpt:

          "Wilson’s vibrant life, full of possibility, underscores the lifesaving power of care for young people. As a child, Wilson struggled through and the attendant mental health issues it often causes. She’s horrified by the wave of legislation targeting young people like her. In the US, her peers are being demonized by the right, and are left undefended by Democrats. One of Trump’s first executive orders upon retaking office attempted to bar federal funding for health care providers that perform gender-affirming care for young people under 19; multiple federal judges have blocked the order from taking effect for now."

            administration targets again, this time on policy in schools

            The U.S. . which Trump wants to abolish, is investigating whether dozens of Maine school districts are violating or misusing federal privacy laws and infringing on parents’ rights.

            by Eric Russell, March 28, 2025

            "The Trump administration is once again targeting Maine over its policies on transgender youth.

            "The U.S. Department of Education – an agency the president is trying to abolish – announced Friday it has initiated an investigation into Maine’s Department of Education over allegations that school districts in the state are violating the Family Educational Rights Privacy Act ().

            "Specifically, the federal agency says school districts are allowing officials to create 'gender plans' that support a transgender student’s identity but then not making those plans available to parents.

            "A similar investigation was launched in this week.

            [...]

            "Schools in Maine have been caught in a legal gray area between respecting student privacy and parents’ rights to be informed when it comes to children’s expression of gender identity while at school. Many youth live in families whose members might not be supportive of their gender identity.

            "The Trump administration already has been investigating Maine for allowing to compete, something that is allowed under the but defies an executive order the president signed in February. This month, the administration found that Maine violated the federal law known as and warned that if the state didn’t make changes, it would risk referral to the U.S. Department of Justice and the potential loss of tens of millions of dollars in federal funding.

            "The announcement from the U.S. Department of Education this week also warns that if any Maine district is found in violation of the federal privacy act, it could lose federal funding. It’s unclear how that will play out, though, because Trump is trying to eliminate the education department at the federal level.

            "A spokesperson for the Maine Department of Education did not immediately respond Friday to questions about the investigation. A spokesperson for the Maine Attorney General’s Office declined to comment.

            "Trump and his supporters have elevated transgender rights as the biggest battle in the country’s culture war and believe their messaging is a political winner, even beyond traditional party lines.

            "In addition to his executive order barring transgender girls or women from competing in athletics, Trump signed another that says the federal government would only recognize two genders, male and female, a move some advocates said was designed to erase transgender individuals from existence.

            "Many states, Maine included, have strong protections for transgender individuals."

                  : 'Facts do not matter' to Supreme Court after it upholds

                  Story by Sebastian Murdock
                  June 30, 2026

                  "Supreme Court Justice gave a blistering dissent after the -majority court ruled Tuesday to uphold a ban on playing on female school sports teams.

                  "Justice wrote the ruling that upheld that Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause allows bans on transgender girls’ and women’s participation in female school sports to stand.

                  "All three liberal justices ― Sotomayor, and — dissented in part. While they dissented from the majority’s finding on the Equal Protection Clause, they agreed with the court’s conservatives on .

                  "In her dissent, Sotomayor discussed the 'immense' benefits of playing sports.

                  “ 'The majority’s opinion ends by reciting the many wonderful ways in which playing sports can be valuable to young people,' Sotomayor said from the bench. 'It can help build resilience, tenacity, leadership, and discipline. It can lead to life-long friendships, community, and a sense of belonging. It can bring joy and the thrill of victory, along with all the lessons one learns from experiencing defeat. The benefits are immense.'

                  "With Tuesday’s ruling, trans student athletes will now be excluded even when the facts show they do not have an '
                  'inherent athletic advantage,' she said."

                        The 250th anniversary of the #US Declaration of Independence has been celebrated in many American embassies too.

                        Except that these were not Congress-approved events.

                        As it often happens in the #Trump administration, they were organized by a private company called Freedom 250.

                        A few days before the event, the American ambassador to Belgium threatened a Belgian citizen after they urged the American band Zac Brown Band not to perform at the event.

                        Two journalists from the European Correspondent invited to the event in Brussels tried to question the US ambassador about his threat towards a EU citizen and about the funding of the event.

                        20 minutes later, they were escorted out by 8 police officers who confiscated their IDs and questioned them about the political leaning of their news outlet.

                        https://europeancorrespondent.com/en/r/the-us-ambassador-had-belgian-police-stop-our-reporting

                        For context, Bill White, the US ambassador to Belgium, has already sparked controversy for insulting Belgian politicians and threatening a socialist MP with a travel ban to the US.

                        The reason for the threat was an investigation into three Orthodox Jewish men practicing circumcision without a valid medical license, and White accused those behind the investigation of being antisemitic.

                        During the Nazi era, these were some of the countries that shut down their German embassies:

                        • UK (September 1939)
                        • France (September 1939)
                        • USSR (June 1941)
                        • US (December 1941)
                        • Brazil (1942)
                        • Mexico (1942)
                        • Most of Latin America

                        When fascism takes over, it is a duty to contain it, isolate it and prevent it from seeping as an exported good into the fabric of a democracy - even through embassies.

                        Bill White is an ambassador of a fascist regime and he abides to the same principles (threats, insults, intimidation, plutocracy, contempt towards freedom of speech and legitimate criticism) espoused by all fascist regimes.

                        Therefore, he is not welcome in Europe, and it’s time for European countries to start considering shutting down their American embassies.

                                                      E.g., today:
                                                      The court ruled in favor of laws banning transgender student athletes from female sports teams in West Virginia and Idaho.

                                                      The court has struck down campaign spending limits, rejecting federal restrictions on coordinated spending between political parties and their candidates.

                                                            "... for the first 100 years of the nation, members of the Court were actively and openly involved in partisan politics. Justices penned newspaper articles and pamphlets, wrote or consulted on congressional legislation, campaigned for friends, and even ran for political office themselves while on the bench. Some were candidates for local or state office, but the presidency was often the most coveted prize; more than a third of sitting Supreme Court justices were presidential candidates in the nation’s first century ..."
