Shame on Planned Parenthood of Arizona for dropping their trans patients because of threats from Trump. What happens when they make you stop providing abortions? Birth control? PReP? Gonna roll over then too? These orgs complying are cowardly.

Planned Parenthood of Arizona has stopped providing Gender Affirming Care for ADULTS in response to threats from the Trump administration. To be clear: Gender Affirming Care for ADULTS is being attacked and basically banned by the Trump administration.

People with disabilities are 16 times more likely to be killed by cops. 16 times. Tell me again about how the people who have never tried to do shit about it are the “responsible adults.” Tell me again about how “identity politics” are just a distraction. Tell me all about how we won’t be in camps

I know it's the Torygaph, but under a headline of "Women's spaces protected in equality revamp" there is this, the only thing I have to say is WHAT THE FUCK? "routinely asked to present gender recognition certificates" kind of goes against the whole idea of a grc

Women were mostly absent, as well. Because it's a stalking horse for taking away women's rights. No one who actually cares about children wants people who don't want them to have them. Reluctant motherhood is not good for kids.

🧵 So, quite by accident, I ended up in the Hugh Lane Gallery & had a great experience. It was an exhibition by Irish artist Brian Maguire (b1951) called La Grande Illusion. It really impressed me! [1]

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Right on the heels of talking about one "mistake" we get another. American citizens and legal immigrants are receiving notices that their legal status is being revoked and to leave the US within 7 days. How long until they start enforcing these?

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

Remember: Cass is not peer-reviewed - and is therefore not “gold”, silver, bronze or even recycled plastic standard. IMO it’s just pseudoscience. There are now at least five damming, peer-reviewed critiques of Cass; all automatically of a higher standard, with at least two more in peer-review.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

So today, the Supreme Court told the President of the United States that he can't "accidentally" send people to an overseas prison and just leave them there. I want you to think about what has to happen for us to get to this point.
