Gonna go out on a limb and say the problem with young men isn’t that no one listens to them but that they have been conditioned by society to believe strength and power are masculine traits. With few exceptions they’ve been gender segregated to some extent since they were children.

This is clear-cut discrimination. The bill lists exceptions for cis people seeking the exact same care and allows for "restoring" in (very rare) cases of detransition. The bill still needs to go through the Senate and there will be lawsuits. Call your reps.

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.

1) If you have had Covid you are at risk. 2) THEY AREN’T FUCKING “BOOSTERS” THEY ARE NEW SHOTS. THE VIRUS MUTATES. 3) They are able to do this because the uptake is already so low. This is not the end game, it’s an opening gambit.

Effectively eliminating Medicaid would be catastrophic in a myriad of ways that many people are blissfully unaware of because they don’t how deeply Medicaid is woven into our society. If you care about public health, jobs, hospitals, the economy, or just people being alive: Call your reps.

This is just not true. The majority view among researchers at this point is that work requirements do not work. There is a reason they do not cite a single study here.

Tool libraries are really cool, but you should be allowed to use libraries in neighborhoods you don't live in. Or my neighbors could just give me the tools that are probably idling in their garages.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Memorize it. And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.

If all porn is made illegal, you can also make illegal the expression of any person you hate by defining them as obscene and pornographic. "Existing while visibly trans" will be argued to be pornographic. Women dressing insufficiently modestly will be argued to be pornographic.

Conversion therapy is based on the hateful idea that being part of the LGBTQ+ community is an illness that requires treatment. It’s a dangerous sham practice that has been completely debunked and should be banned nationwide—I introduced a bill with @booker.senate.gov to do just that.

Agreed. It also skips past the big picture in many cases. A lot of what's happening isn't exclusively about cruelty. The spectacle of cruelty is important to this administration, yes. There's also greed, of course, but there are larger designs for society at work here that really must be understood.

Hey guys- White nationalists have helped a white woman in Minnesota raise $300k after she was filmed calling a five-year-old Black child the n-word. The local NAACP chapter is fundraising for the boy and his family to get legal help. The least we could do is out-fundraise the nazis. Donate here:
