Don't tell the Telegraph, they'll have a meltdown... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jake Sherman is reporting that the Medicaid gender affirming care ban has been removed from the reconciliation bill! Huge news!

Just a message from Big Bird and friends! #twinninghusbands

Mamdani’s surprise primary victory, and potential triumph in the mayoral race in November, could be proof that a Democrat can win without abandoning LGBTQ2S+ people.

Spectacular news - the Medicaid ban for transgender care is OUT as a result of the Byrd rule.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

is this anything

The American Academy of Pediatricians bluntly telling us the current CDC can't be trusted, and of course they are absolutely correct publications.aap.org/aapnews/news...

Mitch McConnell was worth 35 million 2 years ago. Last month he made 2.9 million in stock trades. Mitch McConnell thinks you should not have healthcare/Medicaid. Think about that. Greedy fucking GOP. Fire them all! EAT THE RICH. #ProudBlue #OneV1 www.nasdaq.com/articles/net...

Crockett: The First Lady, a model— when I say model I’m not talking about Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell level— applied for an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement… She had none of those. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see the math ain’t mathin

Hate to tell you all this, but the annoying balloon guy now does annoying things with food

Planned Parenthood is pushing governors and lawmakers in California, New York and other blue states to cobble together emergency funding to get ahead of a possible federal defund.

Media people, please 👇🏻

jus saw someone calling putin a communist. 😐

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

"Normally such lobbies take place in the central lobby between the Commons and Lords, but due to the size of Wednesday’s event it was moved to Westminster Hall, with desks set up for people to say which MP they wanted to see, and a PA system for parliamentary staff to announce MPs’ arrivals."

let me tell you a story. in the last two weeks I've been visited by 3 Zohran canvassers -- young, half my age or a little more probably, all of them. they had all been at it for days or weeks. they looked visibly happy when I said I was voting for Big Z. zero Andrew Cuomo canvassers rang my bell.

The style guides for uk media reporting on transgender people and our lives have been so corrupted. I remember when AP wrote about me when the rugby ban came in , the syndicated article used in France and New Zealand was respectful, in the uk it was sneering and a death threat magnet

They are used to 15 GCs turning up and were probably expecting something similar today.

This is for Portland, OR

Should trans people have fewer rights? ‘Not in our name’, say 35,000+ women… “When we see movements claiming to protect women while simultaneously targeting trans women – who face extraordinary rates of violence and discrimination – we recognise this as false feminism.”

New from 404 Media: Flock has cut off cameras in California, Illinois, and Virginia from national lookups after our investigations and others based on our reporting. Comes after we revealed cops doing lookups for ICE and an abortion case. Massive changes to this tech www.404media.co/flock-remove...

The door to fight gender-affirming care bans isn’t closed, LGBTQ+ rights attorneys say 19thnews.org/2025/06... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

On way home from @transsolidarity.bsky.social mass lobby in Westminster. Queued 4 hours with my husband, Alice’s dad, to green card my MP, who we knew was unavailable , but waited 90minutes in case a member of her team would come and talk to us. My message: keep the gender police out of our toilets.

Despite the already oppressive heat there is a lightness in the air in NYC today

Never had so many transphobic comments on this app as my post about using the men’s in Parliament, seems to have really rattled transphobes that you cannot, in fact, always tell

Fun fact: "23" and "skidoo" both mean "leave" or "get out of here" so if you're saying "23 skidoo," you're basically repeating yourself for emphasis en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_skidoo

If Lance Armstrong truly believed people are pretending to be trans to cheat, he would have tried it already. You would think someone who took drugs to increase the oxygen supply in his🩸might comprehend that decreasing the oxygen supply in his🩸 might have the opposite effect?

"In 2017, I was Britain’s first transgender newsreader and an ITV Loose Woman. The world looked so bright then. Now, both of these things would be impossible." She's right, they absolutely would be. www.attitude.co.uk/news/india-w...
