"trans ideology is a sickness." [reads the news] "people's personal affairs are none of our business and we should talk about immigration"

At a Trans Day of Visibility Trivia night at my kids youth center. It is a delight!.

When you combine this case with Skrmetti, the Supreme Court has initiated a regime where states can ban medical care to affirm trans youth while states cannot ban efforts to engage in conversion therapy on trans youth. This court is such a joke.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Everyone should be able to eat. This is absolutely grotesque.

It's science fair judging day! Talking with students about their projects never fails to fill my cup. 😄

The NYT purposefully mischaracterized the position of the AMA to make it seem like they changed policy and opposed gender affirming care on trans youth. It appears they have rejected efforts by the AMA to correct the record.

Are you telling me Dr Ryland Grace doesn't know how to balance a centrifuge? Otherwise no complaints. #ProjectHailMary

You should buy some art for your office artologica.etsy.com

Help us capture angles other outlets miss:

LinkedIn timeline: We are using AI, and if you don't use AI, you are going to be left behind. BlueSky timeline: F*ck AI. We do not want it on our streets, we do not want it on our (spread)sheets. We do not want in in our art, we hate it and it should depart.

Every trans person who refuses to shrink their identity to fit the room is expanding the world for everyone else.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

Children view earnest conversations like this with their parents like a "voluntary" discussion with a police officer. The only pertinent question is: "am I free to leave?"

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

I called all my reps and left them a voicemail!

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Voiding documents that make it legal for people to move through the world normally—especially but not exclusively when you give them no practical opportunity to get new ones even if they wanted to—is (still) not about bathrooms or sports. It’s about erasure.

I can't move my family, but at least I can help others.

the license criminalization scheme in Kansas...stripping immigrants of their legal status... all of this shows, and is meant to show, that the legal rights of disfavored groups are conditional and can be rescinded at will such discriminatory chaos is incompatible with a real inclusive democracy

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

i think lots of people underestimate how badly these “AI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

It’s 2026. There is a measles outbreak in the prison for babies

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican. He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

We keep talking around this point. It gets lost in discourse about youth athletics and bathrooms. But now experts are sounding the alarm. These kinds of warnings about the United States in the modern age are virtually unprecedented.

Last night was definitely a "scavenge D batteries from every flashlight" kind of night so we could get the Hot Wheels track going.

Phil's upload got nuked. This one is still up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIm6...

Both of my kids are watching Doctor Who for the first time. Chose to start with Blink based on this post and the fact that my kids already play a game called Weeping Angels. Kids are SEATED and asking time travel questions.

For readers who are about to lose care, I have been told that the Trans Youth Emergency Project is helping the families of trans youth contingency plan to access that care. www.transyouthemergencyproject.org

The entire point of the "Big Tent" has always been to provide cover and excuses for Centrist bigots, and a home for them to continue to push their bigotry from, but safely under the cover of smokescreens and dog whistles. Yesterday, this was once again proven to be true.

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.

I'm sorry #chemsky. My 7 yo has funny sweater day at school tomorrow. I had to do it.

"The playbook here is familiar," @parkermolloy.com writes for HW. "Find a trans person in a position of minor institutional authority. Manufacture or amplify a confrontation. Blast it through the conservative media ecosystem until it becomes national news. Watch as institutions capitulate."

I WANT MY FUCKING BLANKETS BACK YOU MORONS

Just saw Wicked: For Good with my sister, who has never seen the stage show and saw the first movie without knowing it was a Part 1. The post-show discussion has been amazing.

"without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." This is flatly false! Trans people with a passport that does not match with their plain appearance when presented to a border agent is subject to additional hassle compared to a cis person presenting a passport.

Happy Mole Day from Meg A. Mole! There are 6.02 x 10²³ atoms, molecules, or ions in a mole. This number, called Avogadro's number, is a fundamental unit of measure in chemistry. #NationalChemistryWeek

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

@thebonesbooth.bsky.social just saw the Royal Diner on House. I'm sorry, there is nowhere else to put this information

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

I figured out how to edit our ACS Local Section website, and now I can't be stopped.

if you’ve ever even quietly thought “i would just move,” now’s your chance to pony up and make that possible for not just someone but three someones.

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...
