Gender-affirming care is more than hormones and surgery, it's: ✔️ harm reduction ✔️ suicide prevention ✔️ safeguarding

“Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference.

They think we’re 5 years old.

Chuck Schumer's starting position should be as maximalist as possible -- complete abolition of ICE, resignations of Bovino, Homan, Noem and Miller, unmasking of all agents, and prosecution by state authorities of the murderers. Don't start with what looks like a compromise half-measure.

I've become single issue voter: I will only support candidates who commit to abolishing ICE before the next Presidential election. No exceptions.

Okay I think I've mapped out ICE politics as of Monday night

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

no, its time to abolish all versions of ICE

It has gotten so bad that the @nytimes.com has stopped using the passive voice to describe the violence.

I wondered about that too. Maybe a gif can explain.

They wheeled this Nazi asshole into court in a wheelchair and he was still trying to hide his face in shame 76 years after World War II ended. That's the kind of commitment I'm looking for.

Good news for all of us!

Elected officials have to stop posting like bystanders who have no power.

No more, no more.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

Yes to all of this. It really is that bad.

Summary of what happened at Temu ACIP this morning: As expected, they overturned the 30+ year recommendation for the birth dose of HepB vaccine, which has reduced the incidence of pediatric HepB by 99%. They provided no credible evidence to support this decision.

Nov 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Groundbreaking study in journal Pediatrics found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 (1.6%) discontinuing treatment only 4 of whom re-identified as cisgender.

A reminder that I’ve archived every public-facing web page from the CDC website prior to the Trump Regime purging data back in late January: acasignups.net/cdc-website

AAAAAHHHHHHHHH

if you can’t see the aurora borealis tonight, here is a sewer tunnel which is a wonder in itself.

Doing what I can to help out.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

I feel like this is an important aspect to emphasize, loudly, to everyone who endorsed Cuomo. they chose to side with a known sexual predator for personal gain and frankly that should be disqualifying for public office. you knew who he was and decided the women he hurt were acceptable losses

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

People of BlueSky! Let's get to know each other better! What is your all-time favorite TV show?

110% YES I'll die on this hill. And whatever hill it is that keeps chocolate milk in schools.
