Seven transgender patientsā€”all under age of 19ā€”have sued Trump over his anti-trans healthcare order. Their compliant outlines *multiple* ways the EOs break federal law & violate the Constitution. Story here, and thread: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden sent a letter to Gene Dodaro, asking the GAO to conduct an investigation into reports the Treasury Secretary granted "Elon Musk and other 'Department of Government Efficiency' employees unprecedented access to the federal governmentā€™s payment systems."

Reminder that just because you are probationary doesnā€™t mean you donā€™t have union protection

Heads up Mainers who were planning to attend the 2/5 protest, it has been canceled due to confirmation that bad actors were planning to attend and disrupt. Message below from Kennebec Democrats explaining more.

So the "free speech absolutists" are now claiming that putting your picture on the cover of a magazine with the headline "the cruel kids table" is "false light defamation." These guys simply crumple into mush at even the slightest hint that maybe, just maybe, some people don't like them.

Sad to learn that we will not be graced with another David Lodge novel. I read every one with pleasure, and was blessed with the chance to review one. The Times gives a thoughtful appreciation. A book reviewer must have been involved in the obit's composition. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/03/b...

www.masslive.com/westernmass/... For profit parasitic programs pay up- This Tennessee co has shops all up and down our heroin highway (rt 91 Massachusetts) - cleaning up getting clean -

LOOK AT THIS TIT

So the extortion of the media has begun

For profit addiction treatment centers should be driven out of practice from within- Our elevation of small business owners as righteous actors has given cover to folks who monetize addiction - when you ask them to formulate a case they canā€™t/ when treatment fails the addiction is blamed-

Short cuts in training and treatment have left us lost

Because if folks talked about before theyā€™d have to admit they helped I remember sitting with a lot of folks mad And watching how teachers were pushed out

Same.

David does great work and I have learned a lot from him. Including just now from this thread.

We were warned that managed care would degrade our training over time and as it did- the wellness industry and treatment manuals stepped in to fill the space where once silence was a respected visitor -

The two things that surprise me in the times piece 1. The family is a mystery outside of superficial demographic info 2. I canā€™t believe this young man hasnā€™t been in psychotherapy-

Bluesky needs to ban Jesse Singal. Heā€™s a notorious bad-faith actor who we *know* uses social media to harass and attack vulnerable people. Letting Singal remain here is a violation of Blueskyā€™s own stated policies, IMO. He should not be allowed to once again work the refs.

Nope. Absolutely the fuck not. www.reuters.com/legal/transa...

I donā€™t understand the confusion about this young manā€™s politics- nothing weā€™ve learned is inconsistent with what has become normative in this age group (young men) Heā€™s young idealistic and disaffected- Heā€™s not unlike my own son and his peer group. This is an indictment of the world weā€™ve built

When sheā€™s right sheā€™s right

Akron police killed a 15 yr old child on Thanksgiving with an assault rifle. A weapon was recovered from the zipped-up inside of the victim's jacket, BWC video is incomplete, and one of the cops involved was also involved in killing Jayland Walker. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

"You don't seriously condone violence in healthcare do you?" I don'tā€”but why do you? While insurance corps enabled 70K preventable annual deathsā€”you sat silent. As they forced 500K annual medical bankruptciesā€”you sat silent. One CEO is killed & NOW you see violence? Interesting.

So stinking cute šŸ„°
