"At least 110,000 transgender youth already live in states that restrict or limit gender-affirming care access, according to the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law. Many families of trans kids have left these states to find health care elsewhere — and so have the doctors providing it."

it is important to put into words how devastating these scotus opinions will be for the entirety of lgbtq+ america, as they appear to normalize conversion therapy in a way that’ll absolutely impact all letters in our rainbow

Skrmetti SCOTUS ruling claims that the Tennessee is not barring treatments based on sex, but that they are banning based on purpose plus age. But they are banning based on sex. Teenage cis boys can still get top surgery for gynecomastia but those assigned female are barred from accessing the same.

Sotomayor: The Court "invites legislatures to engage in discrimination by hiding blatant sex classifications in plain sight. It also authorizes, without second thought, untold harm to transgender children and the parents and families who love them."

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

The Trump administration are all bastards that want LGBTQ youth to die.

NEW: A protester was shot and killed at the Salt Lake City 'No Kings' march. A man is in police custody, booked on suspicion of murder—but not the one who fired the gun. From video, witnesses and interviews, @schotthappens.com and I tried to piece together what really happened Saturday. Our report-

"In a zero sum environment, there'd be acrimony between the candidates as they'd urge each other to drop out and unify behind one candidate. Instead, they were there to support one of their fellow candidates who was in federal custody for standing with immigrants." hellgatenyc.com/the-mayoral-...

I love how YouTube will offer me stuff I want to see, like short videos about weird little cars. Then it will offer me content I don't want like AI generated Nostradamus talking about Edgar Cayce. Just because I watch Justin Sledge videos doesn't mean I want to watch wack AI guys with beards.

The Daily Tism is so much more than a job to me. It’s getting to write funny things every single day with my best mates. It’s having a voice, no matter how small, in a moment when everything feels very hopeless - and it’s the (forgive the cliché) AMAZING community I’ve met as a result.

If Stan Lee turns out to be an even bigger fraud than anyone realised, it would be shocking but not surprising

At first it was dismissed as a crazy joke. Making the Enhanced Games a reality needed a Peter Thiel posse, a couple of retired swimmers, some MAGA money, and a whole lot of drugs. www.wired.com/story/enhanc...

Me and @zachrabiroff.com have discovered that a gay, disabled, pill-popping Yale Drama grad likely ghostwrote many of Stan Lee's most famous comics Marvel Comics and Disney don't want you to know about Ron Whyte New from @flaminghydra.com below "Face it tiger ... you just hit the jackpot!"

Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid! 🐾

Big kitty. Panthera atrox was an Ice Age relatives of today’s lions. Large individuals could be eight feet long from their snout to the base of their tail and weigh half a ton. The carnivores lived in the same habitats as sabercats like Smilodon and other felids like large jaguars. 🧪

NEW: While House Republicans are grappling with Trump's Iran stance, Republicans in the Senate are full steam ahead. Elizabeth Warren said "There's evidently a serious medical problem with the Senate Republicans. They've all had their spines removed." www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts granted class status to trans people in the passport gender marker change case and extended the prelim. injunction to the class. Trans people will be able to update their gender markers on their passports immediately. ecf.mad.uscourts.gov/doc1/0951130...

Don't Rank Cuomo. His absence from No Kings day and the rally for Brad tells you all you need to know about he will buckle before Trump. @bkindivisible.bsky.social @riseandresist.bsky.social

🐊 It is world croc day! 🐊

Trump Mobile ad leaked...

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

Reporter: Five fellow mayoral candidates came here within 90 minutes of you being arrested and called for your release. What does that say about the tenor of the mayor's race? Lander: Was one of them Andrew Cuomo? Reporter: It was not. Lander: Imagine that!

She inhaled trace amounts of empathy and her body went into anaphylactic shock.

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

Meanwhile in Japan, Honda has joined the reusable first stage Launch and Landing fun :) source: global.honda/en/topics/20...

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

Man what a fucking real dude. 'I just got choked by some chud and honestly, anything could have happened in that moment, and now I'm up here talking about the man who isn't as lucky as me.'

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Lunch possum I decided to tighten up at home.

as of this reading, the allegedly anti Jew muslim candidate has been repeatedly calling for his release and the alleged saviour of NYC Jews Andrew Cuomo hasn't said shit

Mike Lee Stresses He Would Have Posted Same Thing If Own Family Savagely Murdered

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

"It's bullshit," Gov. Hochul says of the arrest of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander by ICE. She says she will call him when he's out of detention. "But what about all the people who don't have that high profile position?"

Kathy fuckin Hochul talking like this they are going to drag Dem politicians kicking and screaming into actual resistance out of self-preservation if nothing else

A Muslim candidate for mayor of the nation's largest city, defending the rights of a Jewish candidate for mayor, who was arrested for defending the rights of immigrants not to face detention without warrants. This is the kind of solidarity Trump and his goons fear.

seen some people complaining that this is a political stunt and lemme say if this was the kind of political stunt more politicians were doing on a regular basis we wouldn't be where we are today dude is actually putting himself on the line here, fuck off with that shit

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

I had a Shout Factory stream of Pee-Wee's Playhouse on yesterday while doing other things and realized Pee Wee had Kewpie mayonnaise in his fridge. Paul Reubens had good taste for the 80s. I miss him so much.

I wrote about the No Kings protest in downtown L.A. and the people who took it upon themselves to give out free water, snacks and sunscreen to strangers.
