It’s genuinely shocking if you’re remotely familiar with the basic facts of trans care and youth medicine.

It is *profoundly* difficult to access gender-affirming care as a minor and the Times has printed more than a dozen articles implying that it is too easy.

just kind of thinking about the fact the nyt sent a breaking news alert when a college kid said something dumb about Zionists but not when Amnesty International said it had determined that Israel is committing genocide

The fact that the author of Say Nothing worked at the Pentagon as special advisor to Defense Secretary (and former CIA director) Robert Gates doesn’t mean the show is a psyop—but it does explain why I kept yelling “This show is a psyop” at the TV every 5 minutes www.counterpunch.org/2019/05/02/a...

Exactly. The anti-maskers & anti-vaxxers won in the end because their worldview actually matched that of Biden’s public health officials more than many Dems want to admit. Both sides truly thought eugenics was the most logical & only reasonable solution.

(It wasn’t. In addition to being inhumane.)

Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.

This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.

He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.

As people continue fleeing x—very understandably!—I want to point out 1 thing. The disabled community doesn’t have the luxury of leaving in the same way abled people do. For us it’s been a key survival tool, especially during the ongoing pandemic. Before she died, Tinu talked about this a lot. And:

In a couple weeks you're all going to meet the 16-year-old trans girl who's challenge to a ban on gender-affirming medical care is being heard at SCOTUS and I'm going to need you all to 1) be loud and thankful for how badass she's being and 2) fight for her like your life depends on it

The Biden-Harris administration gave Israel 30 days to allow aid into Northern Gaza. Last week Israel announced it wouldn’t allow Palestinians to return to their homes there (ie ethnic cleansing), and it hasn’t allowed aid. Today, the US confirmed it won’t enforce any consequences.

Remember when the Biden Harris administration announced that Israel had 30 days to knock it off or there would be consequences?

Yeah. No one was buying it then for good reason. Mostly because the deadline was right *after* the election.

Folks: A number of the most committed fascist trolls are coming over here and trying to create a presence, presumably bc Xitter will quickly lose its value as everyone migrates. One way to combat them is to use @numb.comfortab.ly 's list to mass block them.

I hate to ruin this place for everyone, but tomorrow the house is voting on HR 9495, which would give the executive branch the power to--without due process--designate any org "terrorist-supporting" and deny it non-profit status. Call your reps now.

people deny the existence of aliens when mitch mcconnell has been in front of us this entire time

I have so many questions about this very cursed car in my neighborhood

This is like the first date after a break up when you have to come up with something to talk about other than your ex who was always asking for money and was obsessed with rate limits
