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.

So how does arresting a military wife who has probably been investigated and cleared by the FBI, causing her trained Army officer husband to resign make us safer? It doesn't. ICE makes everyone less safe.

I get asked about this a lot re. DEI language in federal grants, and @erinbiba.bsky.social talked about it the other day re. vaccine access, but to me it is always morally justifiable to work around their hate-based keyword searches (even to lie) in order to ensure the vulnerable are still protected

If anyone suggests we need to narrow or cut SNAP to save money it’s important to know that it’s a BIG STINKIN LIE because SNAP is a program that generates anywhere from 40-65% profit And also nobody should starve what the fuck—

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote. The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE. We can stop this. We have to.

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans. Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect. I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage. Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

It is not too late to push back on the FDA’s attempts to limit vaccine access. Believe me, you want to fight for this even if you think Covid is over. They do not plan to stop here. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

this is a great thread. One night last March I was up until 3am doing the book of photos of a small selection of my mum's artwork that we handed out at her stone-setting. It was part of loving her. These jobs are part of loving. The thinking about it is part of loving.

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

Remember when she funded an anti trans bill, then when it passed, posted a picture of herself with wine and cigars and bragged ‘I love it when a plan comes together?’ That is literally where that money for these games go. Buying her trash, funds anti LGBTQ+ laws.

good thread on how the 14th amendment during Reconstruction also helped establish citizenship for free African Americans, whose status remained ambiguous at best—including in several free Northern states where race-based disfranchisement had been common.

Every Democrat supporting censorship bills like KOSA and the repeal of Section 230 is actively helping carry out Project 2025’s vision of erasing trans people and abortion information from the Internet. Our health care is being taken away. Our existence is criminalized. Democrats are helping do it

I think there's a very meaningful conversation to be had about the surgical homogenization of MAGA women's appearances to suit one man's aesthetic preferences, and what that says about patriarchal bargains under fascistic misogyny. AND "haha, filler" is not that conversation
