the thing that gets me is Democrats were handed the blueprint to this shit many months ago when Project 2025 leaked, and did fuck all about it Zero planning, zero preparation, just 'I guess we better win the election?' it makes their non-response to the Roe verdict look positively energetic

Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally: absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/02/14/w... #medlibs

From a federal court decision blocking Trump's anti-trans healthcare order: "The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist."

Jo from Good Law Project says a judge has told him that Hillary Cass has been delivering training on how to treat transgender people in court. If you're wondering why all the criminal harassment in misgendering is coming from.

Vaccines are good. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. Gender affirming care is good. That's not an opinion, it's a fact. "But big pharma!" misses the forest for the trees. The problem with big pharma isn't the medicines. Medicines and vaccines are good! It's the price they charge for them.

When Biden was committing genocide & ethnic cleansing, the left protested, occupied buildings, disrupted arms dealers, started electoral campaigns, wrote letters, petitions, op-eds. When Trump called for ethnic cleansing, liberals laughed & criticized the left for doing all that

Point of joy for the day: the dusting of rain and mist on my windshield today during the morning rush while I sipped my coffee and listened to Criminal. Other joyous moments happened, but this one was all mine. ♥️
