I’m sick to my stomach over these efforts to eradicate trans kids. Make no mistake, the goal is to stamp a group of people out of existence. It’s horrifying and violent and a bunch of Democrats support it.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

There were Democrats voting for this shit, please stop complaining when we complain about Democrats and want them held accountable. This is getting ridiculous, the fucking collaborators.
The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors.
Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote.

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

I am so tired of people asking me why lying about fentanyl is bad. Lies are bad! Start there!
How does excessive fearmongering about something that has contributed to tens of thousands of annual American deaths make things worse? First of all, they are falsehoods & lies. But I’ve seen the effects when even medical professionals/first responders are too scared to save a life in front of them.

Designating fentanyl a WMD will worsen fentanyl misinformation, which does not prevent overdoses -it makes them deadlier- & harms anyone who could ever need pain treatment, anesthesia, & more.

Trump declared fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction. What does it mean?
The declaration of fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction is the latest move by President Donald Trump casting the nation’s deadly drug crisis as a national security issue.
