The space-based telescopes Hubble and Euclid combined forces to capture a dying star in stunning new detail
They only love them when it gets them brownie points with their base who claim to be patriots. They value them about as much as old gum on the street in reality.
I agree with this 100%!
Could the US manage to not start a βwarβ every decade causing world oil prices to skyrocket for everyone.
Cause that would be greatβ¦
Not electing TV show hosts to all high level offices may be a great first step. Funding education rather than war is another.
Just sayin.
He started a war that literally no one wanted, and is totally illegal. Then canβt be bothered to help his own citizens evacuate the danger zone afterwards? Sounds like this administration in a nutshell. Very pro-America of him.
Himes on war powers: "That is not a debate that the Republicans want to have, because a year ago they turned the Congress into the Russian Duma. We don't have a Congress today. We have a majority party in the House and Senate that's going to do exactly what Donald Trump tells them to do."
They should impeach her, but as much as Republicans may be breaking with the Administration, they are still spineless and likely wonβt offer enough support to actuality follow through with this. Though Iβd love to be wrong on this matter.
Affirming has nothing to do with fantasy and anyone who thinks so needs to update their definitions badly. Itβs not on us to fix our terminology because the bigots decide to be obtuse.
When denied gender affirming care that is deemed medically necessary, suicidality increases dramatically amongst the transgender population. This has been proven with multiple studies across thousands of individuals. Just because you refuse to actually do the research doesnβt mean it doesnβt exist.
Oh boy, yeah I lived on a βfewβ of these pre-transition π good memories scattered across them and a whole catalog of others. TG-TF helped me process and understand what I was feeling years before I had the nerve to transition. Great article as always! π₯°
And youβre supporting the mental illness statement with what academic backing? You donβt know what medically necessary even means. It is covered to Iβm prove quality of life in the ability to complete ADLs for trans people. That is why itβs covered. Itβs not cosmetic.
It is not fantasy as the APA has determined through years of clinical studies. This is about people who canβt mind their own business and leave other people alone wanting to strip healthcare from people that give the religious nuts icky feelings.
This is the root of the vast majority of our problems in this country. No literacy means no critical thinking and a narrow world view. Easy to fill the gaps with hate and conspiracy and be controlled if you cant think on your own and check facts yourself.

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.
State AGs must step in and block it.
Yup, here comes the bureaucracy. I feel so bad for him!
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
Youβre entitled to your opinions, but that doesnβt make it the right option either. Itβs not even a significant percentage of the population who are claiming βdiscomfortβ. Who are you appeasing then?
You are advocating for us to put ourselves in harms way to ease the discomfort of a small but vocal group of people who donβt represent the majority. Itβs no different than the 1960s when some were βuncomfortableβ sharing spaces with POC. Same exact argument. Unjustified discrimination.
You canβt blame an entire population for hypothetical crimes or the actions of a few bad actors. We canβt be punished for crimes we have not committed just like everyone else under the law. Iβm sick and tired of of people advocating for me to surrender my own safety 7/7
Meekly backing off is not the answer. They will not stop there and by the time we stop surrendering ground we will find ourselves off the cliff. This isnβt hypothetical, they are actively doing this where ever they can get away with it and pushing for more. 6/7
Why should their comfort come at the expense of my own safety? Unless the point is denying my own rights, and forcing me to withdraw from all public interaction. How do I work? How do I travel if I cannot use the public restroom during my day? 5/7
no one, but it will put trans people and gender nonconforming people at risk, itβs already happening. Iβm in the bathroom to do my business and get out. Iβve never harmed anyone in my life. Why should I act like a convicted criminal to make some random person more comfortable? 4/7
anti trans cultists who would try and trans-vestigate anyone coming out of a family restroom alone. These people hate us on principle, itβs not rational, they donβt care about βprotecting women and childrenβ. Itβs already against the law to assault someone, bathroom bans will protect 3/7
If Iβm suspected of being trans in many places Iβll be assaulted just for being trans alone. Same with the βthird bathroomβ option. Normally no one would think twice about someone using a family bathroom, but now with people on the lookout for trans people, there are more than enough 2/7
People who think that if trans individuals just stop making noise and timidly fade into the shadows that we will somehow stop being the centre of hateful attacks really blow my mind. Iβm at increased risk for being assaulted in the menβs room compared to a cis woman. 1/7
So youβre a pick me. If I go into a menβs room I risk being assaulted or worse. But that never factors into the reasoning for people who think like you?
Giving in to unreasonable demands will not protect you. Their discomfort doesnβt override other peopleβs legal rights. Being timid and surrendering will only speed things up.
