Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

This torches everything. And I do mean everything.

A very abbreviated list of its ramifications include (but are not limited to):

ending funding for ALL DEI related initiatives

allowing the government to terminate grants at any point for any reason

preventing researchers from publishing, going to conferences, and being part of academic societies

requiring that topics must support the president’s agenda.

What this means, and if anything I’m under selling it, is the death of science and research in America. It allows the government to restrict any topic they please at a whims notice, putting officials who have no background in the topic in charge of deciding funding continuity. It controls what gets researched and if/how researchers are allowed to share their discoveries. There are no books to burn if the government never allows them to be written. This is fascism plain and simple.

Public comments are not a vote, it is a chance for you to say "here is an issue with this law I think you need to address" and provide justification for legal challenges if it goes forward:

"Comments raise the bar that agencies have to meet when making a rule; “if an agency fails to adequately respond to significant, relevant comments in a final rule, members of the public may seek to challenge the rule in court on that basis and claim it could be struck down.ˮ"

This year’s is different. They are now federal REQUIREMENTS, which means there’s no flexibility. As was said previously, the 400 pages are not singularly devoted to being absolute shitheads to trans people. Theres a lot of stuff in there, some of which is the standard dry boring grants stuff, some of which is the horrible ideological warfare outlined above.

This document is issued by the OMB, the Office of Management and Budget, which is currently lead by fucking Russell Vought, the principal architect of Project 2025. This is how they’re going to implement all the horrible shit in there that wasn’t covered by Executive Order. Russell Vought is actively coming for my job, my marriage, and my kid, and most of my friends lost their jobs last year because of him. He is the fucking arch villain behind the heinous shit the current regime is doing.

“But there’s a power imbalance there, because Loki’s a prisoner” — there is no longer power imbalance the moment Mobius turns against the TVA for Loki in season 1 episode 4. Tom Hiddleston’s own word, both Loki and Mobius are equal now.

“But Mobius works for the TVA. So he’s a terrible person” — he turns against them the moment he learns the truth about them. Not to mention the fact Mobius didn’t choose to work for the TVA. He was literally kidnapped and brainwashed. So Mobius is a victim of the TVA just like Loki.

“But he’s mean to Loki” — considering all the crimes Loki committed, being a little mean to him is justified. And yes, I know Loki was brainwashed by Thanos in Avengers 1, but he was still a jerk in Thor 1 and after all he’s still a jerk in general. So if Mobius is “so mean and abusive” then Loki is a thousand times worse, and I’m saying this as someone who’s been a fan of Loki for years.

“But Mobius puts Loki in that time loop where he’s repeatedly kicked by Sif” — again, deserved. Loki did betray Mobius so obviously there has to be a consequence, especially when you think about the fact Mobius is responsible for Loki at that time. Mobius was only doing his job, what he was brainwashed to do. Loki could’ve put Mobius’s life in danger by going rogue and leaving Mobius with the TVA. Though I believe that’s not Loki’s intention, there still has to be a consequence. But the thing is, the consequence could and should have been worse. Mobius could choose any moment from Loki’s life, when Thanos was torturing him, or any of the traumatic memories Loki has. Instead he made sure Loki was home and safe. Getting kicked by his friend is nothing like getting tortured by Thanos, and Mobius could’ve chosen the time Loki was being tortured by Thanos. If I were Mobius, I sure would do so much worse than sending him to Sif, after that shit Loki pulled.

“But Mobius lies to Loki!!!” — he did his job, what he was brainwashed and programmed to do. But okay let’s talk about lies, Loki, the literal God of Lies, has never lied or manipulated anybody for his own adventure. So how dare Mobius lie to him for something Mobius thought was right, when Loki was, at that time, a criminal who was known for lying and being manipulative.

“But Mobius never apologized for the mean things he said to Loki” — he didn’t have to, but he did. “You could be whoever, whatever you wanna be, even someone good. I mean just in case anyone ever told you different.” And Loki smiled. That, in my humble opinion, is a thousand times better than ‘I’m sorry’

So are we not gonna talk about the fact you just admitted there was a power imbalance before ep 4. Before that everything before ep 4 mobius is loki jailer yet it was never really showed that way . In the show it was shown like mobius and loki are best friends from episode 1 and that mobius cares about loki since episode one . Like I would be fine if they went from enemies to friends but they were shown as friends or atleast mobius as caring about loki from the beginning.

“But he’s mean to Loki” — considering all the crimes Loki committed, being a little mean to him is justified. And yes, I know Loki was brainwashed by Thanos in Avengers 1, but he was still a jerk in Thor 1 and after all he’s still a jerk in general. So if Mobius is “so mean and abusive” then Loki is a thousand times worse, and I’m saying this as someone who’s been a fan of Loki for years.

Excuse me, since when does torturing people and blaming them for their mother death and making them believe they are responsible for her death who the person(mobius ) knows is not their fault literally it is the tva fault that frigga died if any one is forgetting about their being no free will in mcu before endgame this is a good time to remember that it is not just "being a little mean" and I beg your pardon I don't understand what you mean that loki is a jerk in general?? Like when please tell me. Also even if he was (which I do not think he is) that does not mean he deserve everything that happened to him.

And now about loki crimes, you said you know loki was brainwashed and tortured by thanos in avengers so we agree that the what happened in avenger is not his fault ,he is a victim in there too . And in thor 1 he did commit genocide umm.. but has literally everyone else in his family thor ,hela ,odin and loki grandfather yet no one else seems to call thor out for his crimes or any one saying he deserve to get kidnapped, tortured and have his whole family killed and thor being completely alone (and he doesn't beacuse believe it or not odin is the real villain in all of the thor 1 it was him who taught loki and thor to hate jotuns and view them as lesser beings despite knowing one of his son is a jotun). In thor 1 loki has having a mental breakdown and he was doing it all for his father approval and tried to commit suicide when he saw that his father will never love him as much as he love thor( or love him at all) there is a lot of other factors in there too but if loki is going to be called out for it so should thor.

And the tva is in no place to punish loki for his thor 1 actions they are committing the same thing on a multiuniverse level. And he was not even kidnapped by tva for that he was kidnapped because he escaped the avengers. Except these loki has not committed any crimes so no he is not " a thousand times worse"

But Mobius puts Loki in that time loop where he’s repeatedly kicked by Sif” — again, deserved. Loki did betray Mobius so obviously there has to be a consequence, especially when you think about the fact Mobius is responsible for Loki at that time. Mobius was only doing his job, what he was brainwashed to do. Loki could’ve put Mobius’s life in danger by going rogue and leaving Mobius with the TVA. Though I believe that’s not Loki’s intention, there still has to be a consequence. But the thing is, the consequence could and should have been worse.

Getting kicked by his friend is nothing like getting tortured by Thanos, and Mobius could’ve chosen the time Loki was being tortured by Thanos. If I were Mobius, I sure would do so much worse than sending him to Sif, after that shit Loki pulled

Again with this "deserved " nonsense excuse me how the heck did loki betray mobius . Why shouldn't loki run from the tva??? Like what the logic. " Loki could’ve put Mobius’s life in danger by going rogue and leaving Mobius with the TVA. " why should loki care about mobius life he is kidnapped by a powerful organization who has killed his entire universe and if he wants to live he needs to help capture them a varient of himself and MOBIUS as far as loki knows mobius is a worker of that organization he doesn't know yet that they are brainwashed varients themselves. Loki wanting to get away from the tva is in no universe a wrong thing. ( I can't even find words against this whole loki betrayed mobius thing because I can't understand how is that a betrayal and people are treating this as something that loki did wrong , it makes no sense to me like why??? )

"Mobius could choose any moment from Loki’s life, when Thanos was torturing him, or any of the traumatic memories Loki has. " Am I supposed to praise mobius beacuse he could have tortured loki more but didn't?? Hello he still tortured him (loki) having sif kick him repeatedly and her telling him he deserve to be alone forever and he always will be is diabolic (also sif is not loki 'friend' she repeatedly shows open resentment towards him in thor 1 and TDW)

" If I were Mobius, I sure would do so much worse than sending him to Sif, after that shit Loki pulled" I have no words for this sentence except that I am scared of what kind of person you are....

But Mobius never apologized for the mean things he said to Loki” — he didn’t have to, but he did. “You could be whoever, whatever you wanna be, even someone good. I mean just in case anyone ever told you different.” And Loki smiled. That, in my humble opinion, is a thousand times better than ‘I’m sorry’

Yes mobius should have apologized to loki ( he did it for sylvie.. ) and (this is kinda off topic but) not only loki but every single person who was sent to alioth deserve a sorry and help to get back on their feet and adjust in a new life. Tva took there family and lives if you are going to redeemed the tva take action according to that( I am not just talking about mobius here) okay back to the topic.loki deserve a apologized for getting tortured in that time loop by mobius and it will do mobius characters of being a brainwashed varients more than just being a statement like it always annoyed me how never any of the tva workers seems to express guilty or feel bad for everything they have done before( like yeah they got brainwashed but any person would still be horrified if they found out that they are just mass murderer not any sort of helper who are protecting the scared timeline just murderers) . And loki also deserve an apology for making him believe he played a part in his mother death and bring told he was born to bring pain and suffering and that he is insignificant.

Mobius stops being actively abusive, but's he's still a dick.

And you just.

Said no????

Look, I get that an artist has a vision, and that a director has to adhere to their own specific vision in a medium with so many moving parts to worry about. But I just can’t believe he didn’t film it, just in case. If it really didn’t work, well, put it in the deleted scenes. Film nerds would love to see it and debate over whether or not it should have been included.

Hell, just imagine the discussion if it had been kept in! You’d have people going “oh my god that’s stupid” being drowned out by cinephiles debating over what Nolan meant by that rainbow, especially within the context of that “pivotal shot.” It could have been an incredible accident!

But no. He just threw it away. Didn’t even capture it for posterity. God.

Just to have it

I mean

They have to wait around anyway till it is gone

So, just do one take with it

And then do another take without it

no its one of my fancy pencils :)

Special message from doug himself!🙏💙

Thank you to everyone who helped making this come true!🙌🏻✨️

What about Thor? Why is Thor denied the meaningful character growth opportunity to recognize and address this rift, and therefore take an active role in healing his own family dysfunction? 

I will be someone to admit Loki did wrong, and regardless of the situation put on to Loki there are things he still needs to take responsibility for. However, while is actions might have been wrong his feelings are real, his feelings are justified. To have true growth, to have a genuine reconciliation Thor should have come to understand Loki’s feeling.

I think that’s becasue this is how Thor justefies is own actions

He feels something is wrong/evil/unjust

And so he acts on it

His feelings justefy his actions

Ergo, if he agnowlegdes Lokis feelings as justefied, it justefies Lokis actions and therefor Lokis feelings must be wrong becasue (some of) hhis actions where wrong

Becasue if feelings can be valid without justefying actions

That means Thor might like to change his way of dealing with stuff

Becasue if valid feelings can lead to wrong actions that means he potentially could make a msitake
