Any comment on the regret rate necessary for you to start advocating against foreign invasions?
Would it need to be higher or lower than the regret rates for trans health care?
AG Rayfield leads lawsuit challenging federal attack on gender-affirming care
“By targeting Oregon providers, HHS is putting care at risk and forcing families to choose between their personal health care choices and their doctor’s ability to practice. Healthcare decisions belong with families and their healthcare providers, not the government.”
AG Rayfield is leading a coalition of states in suing to ensure HHS cannot simply use a “declaration” to circumvent basic legal requirements for policy changes. The coalition argues that HHS is taking this unlawful action to intimidate providers, and that it will create fear and uncertainty for transgender youth and their families - and reduce access to care, worsen provider shortages, and harm Medicaid patients far beyond those seeking gender-affirming care.
In Oregon, gender-affirming care is protected under HB 2002, passed in 2023, which requires health insurance to cover medically necessary treatments, protects both patients and providers from out-of-state legal challenges, and ensures coverage for procedures including surgeries, hormone therapy, and revisions to prior treatments. This law makes clear that Oregon is a place where families can make their own health care decisions, and the state will defend their right to do so.

NYT journalist Frank Bruni is platforming anti-trans troll Katie Herzog at Duke next month, so I profiled Bruni (even read Bruni's 'Grievance' book). Bruni is very enamored with "gay erasure" conspiracists like Herzog and Andrew Sullivan.

So….all I have to do is get on of those in my Xmas stocking, respectfully take foil off and tap consensually on a hard surface, and hey presto? She’ll pop out?
In this case we're talking trans folks, but I think it's important to know that the phrase "nothing about us without us" came from interracial - but mostly black - South African dis/ability activists working together in defiance of apartheid.

Oh geez. The dumple to beget all dumplings
Call script for your US senators: "You will not get my vote in the midterms if you vote to sacrifice anyone - including trans people - to the Trump regime. I will not vote blue no matter who. You will lose my vote for life."
You don’t get to claim autism justice while ignoring racial injustice. Liberation for autistic people means dismantling every system that decides whose neurodivergence is tolerated and whose is punished….
AP: “Hundreds of immigrant children lingered in federal detention beyond a court-mandated limit, some more than five months… Attorneys highlighted the government’s own admissions to longer custody times, contaminated food, lack of medical care…” apnews.com/article/immi...
"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard
My love for em dashes is as old as the hills and as mighty as my inability to make a transition between thoughts literally any other way and I will be damned if I let the clankers take that from me
👏👏👏
utter chaos for future generations

Politicians have all but abandoned their duties to the people, preferring instead to advocate for their own interests and bigotries, personal enrichment and power.
They no longer represent us in most cases, but themselves using our backs to stand upon, above us.
Comment and photo made me weep
Heh
I love this one too. Am also reading backward.
I love this
Every time.
Actually, most of F and T is still relevant to me today. And/or I imprinted on them in the early 70s and that’s been that.
Tee hee!
a lot of newsrooms won't do stories about letters or have a really high bar. i'm sure a lot of nonprofit folk have noticed the trend. i think it's a bit sad b/c... idk, that's how i imagine civilized people communicate & people shouting gibberish on TV don't get the same treatment. but there it is.
'Reconciliation isn't just about the Indigenous people and the government and the churches. It's about every Canadian. We all have to work at this if we want it to work. We have to put an effort into it,' says Two-Spirit Elder Charlotte Nolin.

Read my statement on President Trump’s decision to send U.S. troops to Portland.
How on earth have I never thought of this. Why of course. Would be…goopy, but the passage doesn’t mention goop. Reconstructing the camel post-needle-eye would be a challenge.
trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people
Kamala Harris' appeal to reasonable parents' concerns is no more than an appeal to the ubiquity of cis supremacist feelings as a rationale for valuing cis supremacists' anxieties over other human beings' lives.
