Huge response from the Biden administration on Texas taking trans kids from supportive parents. There's too much for one tweet but...
- Office of Civl Rights will make contact with parents/defend them
- Children's Bureau contradicts Texas CPS
- HHS demands HIPAA be followed

Biden releases a strong statement along with the OCR guidance. Links to follow. It's clear that the administration is putting its full muscle behind attacking the Texas law.

(1,962 posts)Not only a huge and heartfelt thank you for speaking up and being willing to fight back... But we're going to need you on this one. Because Herr Hot Wheels has made it clear the laws and Constitution don't apply to him, and that made up laws and rules can be used to target people he doesn't like.
It's time to fight back against Nazis - whether it's 1/6 assholes, or Texas and Florida Nazis like Hot Wheels and DeathSentence.

(14,516 posts)'roll in the tanks.' This strong federal response to the immoral actions of a state - in this case, Texas, is what I meant. When states engage in hateful policy actions against protected groups, then a strong federal response can include calling out the Guard, as LBJ did in 1965 and Ike did in 1954.
You bet. Or, as the statue says in Jackson Square, New Orleans, "THE UNION MUST AND WILL BE PRESERVED."
