So Politico actually dared to publish a “Republicans are pivoting to kill trans kids because they think it’ll help them in elections” story It includes this stunning paragraph where the journalists actually say 18,000 kids losing care is “relatively few” children

Today is my Top Surgery Anniversary!! ⚔️🎉 On this day in 2018, my life changed forever & there’s not one day that goes by that I have regrets or bad thoughts about getting it done. I walk taller, more confidently & at peace through this world because of it. 🩵🏳️‍⚧️😊

Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language

EXCLUSIVE The BBC has circulated leaked guidance telling journalists to describe trans women as “biological males”. Clarity should not come at the cost of dignity. #bbc #humanrights #journalism #transparency #transrights

We have seen establishment Dems like Newsom, Buttigieg & even Harris, agree with the GOP on rolling back trans equality. They, along with dem strategists David Axelrod & James Caravelle blame trans ppl for their 2024 defeat. I am beyond pissed and the "Vote blue no what!" ppl can eat shit.

Dr David Levy's findings confirm what trans+ people have known for years: adult gender services are failing. We welcome the acknowledgement that change is needed, but it does not go far enough. You can read our full statement on our website: anne.health/our-statemen...

More than half the trans people I know are disabled, and many of us have been advocating for a synthesis of disability justice and trans rights for literal years due to how we are surveilled, regulated and denied autonomy in similar ways. Interesting how resentful fucks never bother to learn.

I was accepted to Hopkins but had to defer enrollment to Fall 26 due to a lack of $$. As the breadwinner, I don't make enough to support my family and cover tuition. Student loans are not an option. My goal is to work in clinical ethics, where I'll fight for my community. gofund.me/4f41a7d45

It seems he is putting more time and effort into the job he wants vs. the job the people elected him to do. Noted. #WheresSwalwell

18 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- ACLU will challenge the Trump admin's attention to weaponize the Medicare/ Medicaid to force hospitals to stop providing GAC. "These gratuitous proposals are cruel and unconstitutional attacks...,” said Chase Strangio, Co-Director of ACLU's LGBTQ Rights.

Hey @ericswalwell.bsky.social - registered voter here in California. I say this with the utmost disrespect - fuck you and your campaign for Governor. 🖕

They won’t www.merkley.senate.gov/merkley-bald...

@ericswalwell.bsky.social You want my vote for Governor?? Show up and vote to protect EVERY Californian!

@ericswalwell.bsky.social why do you think you should be governor of California if you’re too cowardly to stand up for our most marginalized youth? 2 days in a row you chose not to protect their lifesaving medical care for trans

Today, AG Letitia James of New York responded to the Trump administration's new rule attempting to ban trans youth care in hospitals nationwide. "I will not let the administration come for you." Read the latest from our writer, S. Baum here. www.erininthemorning.com/p/i-will-not...

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov Resign, transphobe.

WATCH Equality Caucus Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social SHRED a hypocritical GOP bill to ban Medicaid funding for young transgender people's healthcare while allowing funding for the SAME EXACT CARE for cisgender youth: youtube.com/shorts/GHL36...

We’re opposing two Trump Admin proposals aimed at restricting access to gender affirming care. Gender-affirming care remains protected in California. We will fight these proposed rules to ensure Californians maintain access to the medical care they need to thrive. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

Every trans person and ally must boycott voting not only for these three Democrats, but any other House Democrats from the states (Texas, North Carolina) who don't condemn and disavow Cuellar, Gonzalez, and Davis for this sickening betrayal. There is no space in the tent for genocidal policies.

The Trump administration is expected to announce several moves Thursday that will have the effect of essentially banning gender-affirming care for transgender young people, even in states where it is still legal. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

By doing so here, the Trump Administration runs smack into the prohibition on Medicare and Medicaid regulating the practice of medicine (as opposed to deciding what they'll pay for). Congress recognized regulating the practice of medicine is a state function, not one for Medicare/Medicaid.

This announcement alone is going to kill people and we need to prepare for that

i am extremely proud to announce my latest journalism this piece is about DuPont, General Motors, TEFLON, PFOA, PFOS, and our POISONED world we keep each other safe, and it begins with free, trustworthy information read it for free: junoryleejournalism.com/2025/12/18/d...

@ericswalwell.bsky.social why didn’t you vote? You’re okay letting CA doctors be imprisoned 10 years for saving trans youth lives? That should be absolutely disqualifying for our governor

Massie: Previous presidents told us to go to war over WMDs that did not exist. Now it's the same playbook. Except we're told that drugs are the WMDs. If it were about drugs, we'd bomb Mexico or China or Colombia. This is about oil and regime change.

Ask and you shall receive... MS Now literally just posted on it

Co-chair of the Blue Dog Caucus

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

House Dems have the votes to pass a 3yr extension of ACA tax credits. Now Senate Republicans are the only thing standing in the way of getting this bill to the President & preventing huge spikes in costs for millions. Leader Thune: commit to bringing this bill to a vote, now.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

this could be support for trans rights too but Important Groups would rather lay low than fight for us (like Human Rights Campaign)

Deceptive headlines

1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care. A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn. The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased. Our latest wild story.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

“...Roem continued, “because all the heavy hitters of corporate Virginia hate this bill, and so they don't like it because it will limit their ability to make as much money as possible from sticking these things where they don't belong.”

the house next week is scheduled to vote on separate bills to ban medicaid coverage for trans health care and ban the disposition of care to trans minors outright

I'm 250 short on rent due today ♥️💜

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Do not do this.

I will not vote for, endorse, campaign for, or donate to any candidate or party that does not explicitly endorse FULL AND EQUAL RIGHTS to trans people in all areas of society. I'm not a full citizen, you don't get my second-class vote. Period. I think I'm being clear.

Q: If DOJ doesn't release the files it has by next Friday, is there anything Congress can do to compel that to happen? MASSIE: It's a crime if they don't. This is a new law with criminal implications if they don't follow it.

man, the collective grief from older trans people at the violent death of the world we briefly hoped was coming, a world in which trans children would be recognised, loved, and helped... yeah.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map. This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026. The vote failed big, 19/31. The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

The US government is now a mafia organization.

Bit of a rough month. Not enough money to cover all the expenses. If you can help, anything is appreciated venmo.com/code?user_id...

Ossoff: "She got her new insurance quote & it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She's diabetic. She had surgery a few months ago for something else. She told me she cried again bc she realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance. She believes she might die bc of a policy choice"
