My kids hate it and hate that teachers are being encouraged to use it.

Ann Arbor, MI has all the kids take the SAT during the school day. But there are no ACT testing sites in town, you have to drive your kid at least 30 mins and often longer than that to find a test.

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

I've seen this pattern before, multiple trips to urgent care with an active infection. Are the clinics not catching it? Can we do something about that?

Republicans don't care about parents' rights The Supreme Court’s move against trans kids in California empowers MAGA to mess with all families

The anti-trans decision at SCOTUS isn't about "parents rights."

Republicans never defend a parent's right to care for or protect a child.

"Parents' rights" are only about denying children health, safety, and self-actualization.

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

The DOJ is suggesting that gender-affirming care providers may be engaging in "conspiracy" because they're prescribing medications off-label. That poses danger for an important backstop in the event old restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone are restored:

The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.

I know I'm biased, but like it seems to me like "Republicans are taking best practice healthcare away from kids even in the face of their own studies" is a better argument than what seems to be the standard of just don't talk about it and hope it goes away

This is exactly right.

Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.

We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.

Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

β€’Clean up your email inbox (badly)
β€’Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
β€’Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
β€’Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

It's such an obvious lie, tons of kids have names that are gender-neutral or traditionally used for a different gender. He just hates Trans people.

I think part of their logic is that they need trans people to be both identifiable and miserable. A happy trans person who transitions pre-puberty and just lives a normal life is a nightmare to transphobes.
