NEW: GOP lawmakers want to nationalize Medicaid work requirements to offset Trump’s proposed tax cuts. Yet Georgia’s example shows that this could threaten health care for nearly 16 million Americans and cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. By @savmargaret.bsky.social

Not sure what to call a political system that empowers an unelected government employee to talk like this about someone who won a municipal runoff election. In most liberal democracies that person would now be looking for work

is “i need access to the medicine that keeps me alive” not a kitchen table issue. is “i need to be able to piss safely” not a kitchen table issue. is “should kids be able to play sports with their friends” not a kitchen table issue. god i hate this framing so much

fascinating to me that they no longer need to use scare words like “intervention” or “surgeries” theyre comfortable enough just calling it “medical treatment” bc they’ve stigmatized it so much, the bigotry alone is enough of a selling point.

“sports are the domain of cishet dipshits” is the bane of my existence. there is a large and thriving community of queer people who love sports and i would argue it is majority not cishet dudes who are women’s sports fans in particular. you just want to dunk on a hobby you think is dumb.

I am glad that I wrote this article. McBride did real damage with her interview, as should be clear by people who are allies and even some trans people arguing for sports bans. I can promise you that capitulating won’t slow down the extreme stripping of rights. If anything it’ll speed it up.

That's probably the most significant win in Racing Louisville history. Being solidly above the playoff line half way through the season. Heading into the international break after beating the reigning champs 2-0 and making Banda look human. What a damn game. This team might be good.

In national elections, liberals like me ask leftists to be coalition partners — hold their noses and vote for a candidate they don't love to beat someone truly terrible. In New York, the shoe is on the other foot. And we should be clear that we're willing to do what we ask of our partners.

I don’t have the answers today, but, before I can move forward to the coverage that is going to be important in understanding Skrmetti and its consequences, I wanted to just lay out what I’m thinking about in the aftermath — and why. Here it is, tonight at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/where-is-t...

The most abusive pervasive thing in our lives is the system that takes up so much of it. It will convince you that "good people" & "bad people" are two distinct classes of people. Reject that notion. It's how the abusive system operates without being immediately toppled.

If you're not placing today's ruling against gender-affirming care for trans youth in the context of John Roberts' lifelong campaign to suck the life out of the Fourteenth Amendment, and equality for actual humans more broadly, you're doing it wrong. Here, for @vanityfair.com, I attempt to do that.

The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.

Some people went so anti-transmed they ended up talking about gender-affirming care like it was just aesthetic body modification, like tattoos or piercings, so of course it’s no biggie if the state says trans kids have to wait until eighteen…nineteen…twenty-one…twenty-five…you’re still valid tho! 😌
