One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.
a clinic that provided services to 12,000 people being closed on the basis of 8 complaints perfectly captures the nature of the uk 'trans-debate'

Politicians should quit their lazy pandering about the “real America.” Real Americans live in cities. Real Americans live in small towns. Real Americans eat children in their forest huts that stride around on giant chicken legs. Real Americans live in the suburbs. We’re all real Americans!

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

It doesn't explain his relationship to the rest of the human race but a big part of RFK Jr.'s broader damage is clearly trying to find out if he can die. I guess if I had lived a life like his and was somehow still around drinking out of puddles at 72 I'd have some questions on that as well.

More than 10,000 Ph.D. scientists were fired by the Trump administration last year. Grant cuts affected more.
"A few dozen got jobs in other countries" is not a serious solution.
There are not enough jobs in the whole world. The result will be less science, not the same science just elsewhere.
