Horse on an At-At costume
I miss the news about a guy with a horse and he put barding on the horse to make them look like a Star Wars AT-AT … an then the Horse didn’t want to take the barding off.

Please don't go on MSNOW and knock your own party.
No, Dems didn't run on "niche issues".
THAT IS HOW THE GOPQ defined the narrative and that is how MSM took it and ran with it.
Supporting the trans community isn't a niche issue, it's just the decent thing to do.
Zoey, a Bernese Mountain Dog, sits up on the couch and leans against the back. Her tongue is sticking out and she looks a bit dazed.
I think somebody needs a coffee.

NEW: Federal prison officials face civil contempt hearing, as ICE is threatened with criminal contempt.
Thursday orders from two Republican judicial appointees show greater willingness to push back with increasingly harsh tools in the face of continued Trump admin lawlessness.
Tonight at Law Dork:
BREAKING: Trump admin issues new policy aimed at ending transgender-related care in federal prisons.
"It's a really dangerous policy,” an ACLU lawyer representing trans people in federal prison suing the Trump administration tells Law Dork of the new Bureau of Prisons policy.
1. The President of the Heritage Foundation took to the influential PBD podcast today to announce his intent when it comes to transgender ADULT care: "You outlaw it."
He stated that the foundation is working precisely on a plan to ban all trans adult care.

Two Bernese Mountain Dogs lay in the snow just off of a porch. Zoey, the Berner closest to the camera has her nose between her two front legs, eating the snow. Izzie, the Berner to the right and slightly back of Zoey has her behind in the air and is bowing down and happily eating a snowball she has discovered.
Snow angels Zoey (left) and Izzie (right) enjoying the rare snow we get down here. Not only is it fun to play in, but you can eat it too! (It's rough out there right now. These little moments of happiness are so important).

Reading through articles on validity and contextual sensitivity of risk assessment instruments in trans populations for a review, and my study buddy is making it difficult! Puppy snores should be considered a treatment for insomnia.

The Supreme Court hears oral argument in B.P.J. v. West Virginia, about whether West Virginia's law banning transgender girls and women from female sports violates Title IX and the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.

That would be wonderful, but this is the court that twisted itself in knots to come to the conclusion that denying treatments to one sex while allowing it for the other was not actually sex based, but age based, and therefore okay. I'm not holding my breath for a good outcome on this one.
A Bernese Mountain Dog named Izzie sits on her human's lap. In front of her, in the background is a fireplace and a television, currently on screen saver mode with a bridge and country scene.
My sweet-pea has a first name, it's I-z-z-i-e. My sweet-pea has a second name it's ... I-z-z-i-e! And Izzie's like, "I'm going to need you to stop the singing now and concentrate a bit more on the petting."

Ever have one of those moments where somebody says something and you don’t mean to, but you do that screeching laugh so hard you set your dogs off? Hearing POTUS say that just because a boat landed somewhere 500 years ago doesn’t mean they own it was one of those moments.
OFFERED BY Department of Public Health NEWS Statement from Commissioner Robbie Goldstein, MD, PhD, Regarding Care for Transgender Youth
Decisions about a young person's health are deeply personal and complex. They belong with patients, their families, and their trusted health care providers, who are best equipped to weigh individual needs, circumstances, and risks. Government interference erodes trust in the health care system and places vulnerable young people at even greater risk of harm.
At this time, gender-affirming care remains legal and accessible in Massachusetts. Our responsibility — morally, ethically, medically, and legally — is to protect the health and wellbeing of every person who calls this state home. That responsibility includes supporting transgender and nonbinary individuals and preserving access to medically necessary care without fear, stigma, or government interference.
Powerful statement from Dr. Robbie Goldstein, MD, PhD, Massachusetts Commissioner of Public Health on defending GAC:
“Our responsibility — morally, ethically, medically, and legally — is to protect the health and well-being of every person who calls this state home.”

I mean, all the Cure videos, but especially this one!
Politicians introduced 96 bills targeting transgender student athletes in 2025.
That’s more than 9x the number of trans people playing college sports nationally.
A Bernese Mountain Dog lays in her extra large dog bed in front of a fireplace with a decorative Yule log in front. The mantle is fringed with garland and one of her new toys, a candy cane plushie, lays next to her. She is looking up at a large TV sitting on an antique cabinet. The TV displays two evergreens in front of skyscrapers in a snowy scene from Chicago. A Perry Como Christmas song seems to have caught her attention.
Miss Zoey is dreaming of a winter wonderland too. And appears to like Perry Como! I knew she had good taste! (One day we’ll be in a place where it’s not in the 70’s on Xmas day, baby girl. I promise!) Happy Christmas to all!

Miss Izzie, a Bernese Mountain Dog, when she was about 6 months old laying on the floor looking up at the camera, which is obnoxiously close so her cute boopable nose is prominent in the picture.
BOOP! So many boopable noses! I love it!
"I refuse to be divided any longer. I refuse to hate my fellow Americans."
Meanwhile, her bill criminalizing healthcare for trans children just passed the house. She made sure to get that in before she leaves. So....either she doesn't consider trans people to be American or she's full of....
Despite your family’s apparent concern about how much you love Legend of Zelda, it’s about to be socially acceptable to fixate on nothing but a single day in the calendar for weeks on end (and that’s totally fine).
Two Bernese Mountain Dogs are sitting up on a couch. Izzie is closest to the camera, and she is sat up looking at a MacBook Pro laptop monitor. Her big sister Zoey is in the background singing to anyone who will listen, which is everyone, because she's loud, which is unusual for her. She's usually the quiet one. Izzie is the talker. There is an end table with an iPad and glasses next to Izzie, and a Christmas (Yule) tree in front of Zoey. The tree is also next to a desk with three monitors and an airplane model of some sort, and a chair, where my dad works from home.
I would like to thank my two amazing study buddies, Izzie up front and Zoey serenading everyone in back, for an amazing semester! These two listened to me read everything aloud and helped me get an A in my psychopathology seminar! 🐶💕

A Bernese Mountain Dog sleeps on a couch with her head resting on a large pile of her toys
I kinda wonder if she’s dreaming about a thieving hobbit…
A Bernese Mountain Dog lays upside down on a carpet in front of a dog bed. The lower half of her body is facing left, legs splayed. Her top half is twisted in the opposite direction, facing right, front legs pointing out in front of her as if in a Superman flying pose.
“What is this spine thing you speak of, hooman?”
