Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the Constitution gives the president three important things: Zero power to write law, Zero power to ignore the law, Zero power to break the law.

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake. Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

A Texas House committee on Friday passed a comprehensive crackdown on abortion pills that also contains a controversial provision that says it cannot be challenged in state court before it is enforced. The bill goes now to the House for a full vote.

type 1 diabetes used to be called "juvenile diabetes," which makes it sound like it's something that you can grow out of. but the real reason it used to be called that is because nobody who received this diagnosis would live to become an adult

This is a really important read for many people out there, as this has been erroneously reported. The spending bill DOES ban HRT from Medicaid, which is horrific. It does NOT ban ACA/Private plans from covering it, as Gillian Branstetter of the ACLU lays out in her thread here.

The bill wouldn't just cause millions to lose their health insurance, it would also: ban Medicaid coverage of non-abortion care at Planned Parenthood ban Medicaid coverage of ANY gender-affirming care (yes, adults) *block marketplace insurance plans from covering abortion or gender-affirming care

The Supreme Court majority’s “except for the Fed, because reasons” schtick is as laughable as it is contemptible. I almost feel bad for all of the poor constitutional law scholars who are personally invested in a view of the Court as an intellectually respectable, indeed grand, institution. Almost.

happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about

I need cis people to understand that if this bill passes, thousands of trans people will die. That's not hyperbole. That's not sensationalism. That's fact. You know the genocide of trans people in the United States you refuse to acknowledge? It's here.

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.

Democrats ran three older people with cancer knowing they had cancer, they died within months of being sworn in, and that helped clear the way for Republicans to starve kids across the country. I cannot begin to tell you how much I hate it here.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

One reason to primary them all, every single one, is that you know they would look at the mangled corpse of medicaid and trans healthcare left after today and go "that's just the way it is, what you're asking for is a big change, a huge increase in budget and labor" etc.

In the days of grief after his wife's miscarriage in 2015, Kasper Erikson forgot to submit an immigration form. The Mississippi father thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen when ICE arrested him in April. Now he’s in a Louisiana prison, facing deportation over the 10-year-old mistake.

Overnight markups in every major committee, numerous back room deals, a 1 AM rules committee hearing a full day before text was released, no official score, and now midnight floor debate two hours after they released the final text of an 1,100-page bill, with final passage coming at 4 am. My God
