For trans folks like me this isn't some hypothetical, this is a medical fact.

Yet again, someone who stays up for multiple nights in a row, slipping into mania while the chatbot does nothing to disengage. The easiest safeguard to add, and it seems none of these companies have cared enough to try.

If you'd like to help Rachel in her time of need, please visit her GoFundMe page:

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Yesterday's vote by the FCC to end #ERate discounts for Wi-Fi hotspot lending programs in libraries will have negative impacts in communities across the country, particularly in rural areas. Read more, featuring ALA President Sam Helmick: apnews.com/article/fcc-...

a few lovely people asked me yesterday if there was a way to offer Ike and his family direct support, and a parishioner has now set up a GoFundMe for them. please consider donating if you can 💕

...2) Coates' emphasis on *drawing lines* (of what we won't cross, of what's beyond the pale) was the main point of this 2015 essay (one of my best IMHO) about what debates about "PC" (since rebranded as "canceling", "woke", etc) fail to comprehend: juliaserano.medium.com/how-to-write...

What concerns me is not that Democrats will compromise on something like trans athletes--that question is at SCOTUS now and thus beyond their reach anyway. What concerns me is that I hear far more about what rights of mine they're willing to sacrifice and very little about what rights they'll defend

Love doesn’t die, People do. So, when all that’s left of me Is love, Give me away. www.debbieaugenthaler.com/epitaph-by-m...

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

They made my existence into an "issue" then complained I'd become a single issue voter

10% of profits from this special edition will be donated to Mermaids, a charity that works to support trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse young people in the UK. I'm very happy and excited about this one!

Texas A&M already fired four people for one professor acknowledging the existence of trans people. They're making it so that the mere idea of transness itself is forbidden, upon which any number of atrocities can be committed.

Billie does a ton of work to support the romance community, if we all chipped in $10 or $25 we could give her some breathing room!

I’m Farah. My pain is not a story for profit. It’s my life. If your heart is open, the link below is a place to begin

Like this day I held my beloved wife and buried her It was terrifying not the thought of death but losing her I wanted to lie beside her and never wake. But the trust she left compelled me to stand and carry on: our three children who resemble her I won't let them down, always 💔🥀 Don't abandon them😥

Sama'a's family is struggling. They have two little girls to feed and clothe, one still an infant, and every dollar counts. Please join me in digging deep for them.

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

Out of fucking control and if I were an elected Dem or running for office I’d be in front of every camera I could find telling America your prescriptions just got twice as expensive, your health insurance premiums are about to skyrocket from ACA subsidy cancellation, and oh the gov shuts down Wed.

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

Even back in the 70s and 80s when I could be hassled by the police for walking while trans, no one ever tried to stop me pissing in the Ladies or tried to make me change into my swimsuit among men. There is no dignity or respect involved in taking away rights I have exercised freely for forty years

Watching some Democrats continue to smear trans people at the very moment the right is trying to exterminate them is one of the most shameful things I can remember witnessing. Wrote about it for @thenation.com today. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Want to signal boost this- this place makes a huge difference, We use all the food and it goes to good use and donations are way down so if you know any local church groups or anyone who can help- even just lunch meat and cheese, we can assemble them. Thank you for helping feed Bmore ❤️❤️

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

13 hours left 🚨 please share! We’ve been able to help SIX FAMILIES flee from siege & bombardment in Gaza City—only because of YOU. But we’re losing momentum, while time runs out for the remaining two families. Don’t break the bank. We chip away and share to reach those who can give. 195/1000 😥

Izolde is an awesome part of our local trans community here in SF, and she regularly comes to Trans Nerd Meet Up. If you can spare any $$ to help her stay housed, please help! <3

Democrats seem to believe that they can turn a big dial that says "transphobia" up and down with no consequences. But all they're doing is bolstering a fascist drive to wipe trans people off the face of the earth. It's disgusting and shameful and it needs to end www.thenation.com/article/poli...

“Trans people cannot live alongside people who promise to eradicate us from society. We cannot exist in this space where just one person who happens to share a demographic feature with us does something heinous and then that, in turn, justifies right wing violence against us at large.”

Ira Madison III recently experienced an apartment fire and now has to do the work of rebuilding his life. If can toss him a few dollars, there is a GoFundMe gofund.me/b33e69b96

Unless they’re in a boat? Unless they are driving their kids to school? Unless you’ve deported or extrajudicially rendered them to a place they’ve told you/the State Department has told you they will be assassinated?

This is absolutely true. If the NYT covered this the way they covered trans care, you all would finally understand what dangerous shit their trans care coverage has been.

remember how politicians and journos just lied and lied and lied about trans healthcare and created the space for doubt by talking constantly about the need for clarity as if the science weren’t settled already

CARTOON OF THE DAY (Updated Version)

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people. His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority. Subscribe to support our journalism.

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.
