This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

How did a drug rooted, like many, in seed money from the U.S. government — that is, American taxpayers — and spurred by the grassroots fundraising of desperate parents, end up with a $2 million per dose price tag? Your weekend longread:

I got mad at the New York Times after their editorial board released an opinion piece condemning Trump's anti-trans EOs and I decided to write about how the paper of record laundered transphobia into the mainstream and paved the road for Trump's transphobia. www.patreon.com/posts/nyt-ed...

So much attention has been paid to Elon's college-age DOGE bros. But @propublica.org's roundup of 20+ members of Musk's demolition crew shows that it's largely comprised of alleged adults, including Katie Miller (wife of Trump whisperer Stephen Miller) projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

For extra context, NCMEC runs the massive hashed database of CSAM that companies use to detect it on their platforms. If NCMEC were shut down, CSAM would proliferate everywhere. Not hard to see why the far right would want that while pinning blame on trans people.

So now that Trump has banned trans people from participating in sports and trans teens from getting transition-related care, all of the "but we just have some concerns" people will surely come out strong in opposition to additional attacks on trans rights, yes? No? Ah well, nevertheless.

As usual, @iwriteok.bsky.social with excellent analysis on our moment and how a failure of imagination in tactics has brought us to this day. Audacious strategy & a show of strength through a 2028 general strike organized by Fein and labor leaders may be just what we need.

The road to eliminating Trans people will be paved with people depicting self defense as violent, prevention as too radical and depicting the nature of your elimination as an over reaction. There will be those who will victim blame you till you’re in the ground. Fight back anyways.

The anti-trans obsessives cannot fathom that a trans woman be viewed as their equal, let alone that we'd elected to public office or work the same job as them. And no amount of capitulation will sate their rage. That is why it's imperative that we resist their efforts at each and every turn.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC
