For many years, I was "that lady to call when the cops picked up a young person" in my community. And I would say that often the parents were NOT helpful when they arrived to the station. Get a lawyer for your child and BE QUIET.

Legally defining "biological sex" to be just whatever the doctor said when you were born rather than it referring to your actual, material biological sex as it exists today is like legally defining Pi to be 3

After 58 days on strike, Alamo Drafthouse workers in NYC have won big. The strike began when management suddenly fired 70 workers, and now every single laid off worker will get their job back thanks to the union power of @nycalamounited.bsky.social. Strikes work.

1/ The cure for TB—roughly half a year on antibiotics—has existed since the 1950s. It works for most patients. Yet, in the decades since, more than 100 million people have died of TB because the drugs are not widely available in many parts of the world. Gift link.

I think we’ll get a ban on adult trans healthcare under this UK government. I think it’ll probably happen piecemeal with bans on GPs supporting us and bans on private care, followed by a de facto ban on new patients in the NHS.

For the better part of the last decade, a great many people have tried really hard to make Donald Trump make sense in some broader political and historical context. But at the end of the day he's exactly what he appears to be: a rich psycho who's failed at everything in life except self-promotion.

The Senate bill to curb the president's tariff powers now has seven Republican co-sponsors. The bill would make it so that the president must notify Congress of new tariffs within 48 hours. Congress would then have to approve them within 60 days or they expire.

I’m seeing a lot of posts about how certain immigrants sent to El Salvador are not actually criminals and this is true but I would also like to remind you that people with criminal records shouldn’t be subjected to this, either.

hi, cis folks! so, when they release the US cass review that makes the cass review look like a trans liberation manifesto, i think you should • ask who’s making the case against transition • answer whether they have trans people’s best interest at heart • listen to actual trans people instead 🧵

This is functionally what the Cass Review was in the UK and lots of people in prestige media swallowed it whole while accusing trans people ourselves of "politicizing science" by pointing that out

That they weren’t aware of this — or they were and just didn’t care — before shipping people to an offshore gulag is just pure, concentrated evil. People need to go to prison for this.
