The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

If this bill becomes law, ICE will become the best-resourced law enforcement agency in the history of the country, with more funding for detention than the entire federal Bureau of Prisons.

How do we know mRNA vaccines are safe and effective? An explainer, by @jonathanwosen.bsky.social statnews.com/2025/05/21/m... via @statnews.com @caulfieldtim.bsky.social

The FDA's new anti-science guidelines for COVID boosters is that the only people under 65 who qualify have preexisting conditions including being pregant/new mom. What if you're a new dad? Or need to visit/care for a vulnerable elder or a child with cancer? Or are a healthcare provider or teacher?

The fascist are attempting to control who can get a #Covid shot. Didn’t RFK Jr say “let people make up their own minds about vaccination?”There is still time to contct the FDA about its stupid decision to limit eligibility for #Covid shots www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

I fucking love Stevie Nicks for this

Republicans snuck an amendment into this bill to ban Affordable Care Act insurance plans from covering abortion care. This is part of their play for a national abortion ban, in the middle of the night, and ripping healthcare away from millions.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

The brilliant concept here is "finding a way to get users to consent to constant tracking and recording so their data can be sold to advertisers, collection agencies, scammers, and the government." It will provide negative value to every single person who owns one.

When I interviewed KKK leaders in Arkansas, this is what they said too. “We don’t hate anyone. We just love our own people.” Then they burned a cross.

IMPORTANT: Nationwide ban on Medicaid covering gender affirming care is in the House bill.

Passage of Trump’s cruel multi-trillion tax and spending bill depended on intrasession Democratic deaths.

NEW: You’ve got to love the internet before you can hate on it, @molly.wiki told EFF’s Cindy Cohn and @thejasonkelley.com on the latest episode of “How to Fix the Internet."

I don't think any single piece of information has ever radicalised me like reading the statistics on how many women have their husbands/boyfriends dump them because they got a terminal illness diagnosis

I’m not just going to forget the Nazi salute. You don’t come back from that.

With Connolly's death, six House Democrats have died in office in the past 13 months. Democrats die in office at twice the rate of Republicans: of the 45 members of Congress who have died in office since the year 2000, 30 have been Democrats. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

USAID’s entire life-saving 2024 budget was $44 billion, or less than 1/4 of the budget for this Reaganist handout to SpaceX.

Despite all the efforts of Kyrsten and Joe?!

"Cuomo did crimes" doesn't seem wildly implausible but closing a corruption probe into the mayor because he’s playing ball and then opening a probe into his biggest challenger is pretty sketchy.

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

in a sane world a response like this would raise a shitload of questions instead it is just considered an acceptable answer and the world just moves on to something else

McGovern: "You are literally taking food off kids' plates to buy Elon Musk another yacht. I guess he's getting a good return on his campaign donations ... this is not policy. This is theft."

fun interview where you can listen to an ostentatiously devout catholic justify sending innocent people to foreign gulags www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/o...

Unreal. The Trump administration is disappearing migrants to places that aren't even their origin countries, then refusing to say which countries they were sent to by claiming this is "classified," then refusing to say *why* the info is classified:

#Breaking: FDA will limit Covid vaccines to people over 65 or at high risk of serious illness, leaders say www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

So much for personal choice, huh?

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found': www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

"A growing recognition that women's pain should be treated" is one hell of a sentence.

Alina Habba, ten days ago: “The Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, committed trespass…NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.” Alina Habba, today: “We have agreed to dismiss Mayor Baraka's misdemeanor charge of trespass for the sake of moving forward.”

“Irresistible bitch, let’s go.” “Where we goin?”

well that took decades too long

couple details later in the article: " less than 90 seconds had elapsed between the time the officers arrived and Burgess being tasered." "He was taken to hospital after the incident and later contracted Covid and died 22 days later."

Disgusting. "Kirkland was behind an effort to coordinate a 'critical mass' of Biglaw firms to cave to Trump, ...Like they were the ringleader of a lily-livered circus, Kirkland reportedly recruited Latham, Simpson, and later A&O Shearman, like a twisted MLM, to join in the Trump deals."

🚨 New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times less accurate than humans. Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

Here, let me fix it. ICE are a bunch of gestapo pigs.

Last NBA title: Knicks - 1973 Pacers - Never Wolves - Never Thunder - Never

it would be cool if some members of the mainstream media cared as much about this administration lying about who's running the agency dismantling the federal government as they do about the former president’s age

An important reminder that measles vaccines save millions of lives every year across the world. The measles vaccine is arguably the most life-saving vaccine in use. Our latest article from @scientificdiscovery.dev and @spoonerf.bsky.social: ourworldindata.org/measles-vacc...

“[T]heir trading activities since the competition deadline appear to imply a low conviction in the long-term potential of the president’s coin as an investment asset.” 😱

all these retcons pretend that school closures were just something we did as a little experiment and not to prevent students and teachers from dying

B of A: “.. the timing of the downgrade isn’t a coincidence. Moody’s appears to be sending a message that it thinks these policy changes will, on net, put the US on an even worse fiscal trajectory. That is, tariff revenues won’t fully offset the cost of the proposed tax bill. We agree.”

The left should be making Russ Vought own this 24/7 in very simple language: Vought is making it easier for scammers to target you and your grandma.
