The countries largest gender clinic with 3000 patients is complying in advance and shutting down. They treat up to age 25 so trans adults will lose access as well. www.latimes.com/california/s...

It's the same playbook every time. Keep on eye on how many mainstream outlets credulously report this myth as fact, or write up "picking the fly shit out of the pepper" deep dives that treat these lies as something worth discussing. #framewashing

This is what happens when we - "allies," Dems, cis, straight, etc etc - equivocate, compromise, remain silent, silently agree, ultimately fail to loudly and clearly and forcefully defend human rights and human beings.

The 2022 US trans survey caught the moment before all the eradication policies started. It's devastating seeing how much progress was made in reducing insurance denials knowing that most trans people will lose access this year to their healthcare.

The Trump administration illegally arrested and detained Mahmoud Khalil. This Father’s Day, I'm joining my fellow fathers in urging the U.S. government to immediately release Mahmoud and reunite him with his family. Please watch and share our video and take action: action.aclu.org/send-message...

On his first Father’s Day, Mahmoud Khalil will sit in a detention center 1,500 miles away from his wife and newborn son, as punishment for speaking out in support of Palestinian rights.

These are job loss penalties. They call them "work requirements" because they are trying to trick you. So, what exactly are job loss penalties? They kick people off Medicaid by creating administrative traps, cut ppl off from care if they lose their job or can't prove work, punish poverty & precarity

1. I spend a lot of time talking about transgender youth healthcare with people who are uncertain about it. A large number of my readers are politically moderate and trying to learn. Today, I laid out my case against bans for my readers who fit that mold. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Oh, so ICE and the Marines and the LAPD and the National Guard were under curfew? Cool.

Kinda disappointing that the N&O front-page story covers this with the incredulity of a summer intern at a local weekly coupon-clipper.
