The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law. No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence. Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) March 31, 2023

...LGBTQ Americans and their allies have had mixed reactions to the administration's proposed changes. While some are celebrating the possibility of a NEW! federal civil rights law prohibiting laws that bar transgender students from participating in school sports, others say the proposal is a disappointing departure from prior actions and statements made by the Biden White House in support of equal rights for transgender people. [...] "He could have just done nothing," [Harvard Law School's Cyberlaw Clinic instructor Alejandrx] Caraballx wrote. "This is legitimizing transphobia." [...] In a post on Twitter late Thursday, Rep. Alexandrix Ocasix-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called the proposal "embarrassing" and urged the Education Department to reverse course. "Absolutely no reason for the Biden admin to do this. It is indefensible and embarrassing," Ocasix-Cortez wrote. "The admin can still walk this back, and they should. It's a disgrace."
... If the bill is approved, California will become the first state to adopt legislation banning caste discrimination. The city of Seattle did so earlier this year in February. However, several Hindu [!] American groups have pushed back on these efforts, saying that such measures specifically target and malign their community. Wahab, who was born to refugees who fled Afghanistan [!] in the 1980s [!], told the news magazine that many people with Islamophobic intent [!] like to attack her based on her last name. "My last name is Wahab, so they [?] love to tie it to Wahhabism, or call me a jihadist or a Talibani. Basically, every racial slur and dog whistle," Wahab told Time. Caste discrimination has been banned in India [!] since 1948, but the bias still persists. Studies in recent years have shown that people from lower castes are underrepresented in higher-paying jobs.

There have been several instances of caste-based discrimination documented in California alone, including in 2001 when a man was convicted of transporting at least 25 Indian labourers [UK-Eng. ALERT] to the US under false pretence.
