This Thanksgiving—observe the National Day of Mourning.

From 1819 to 1969, US Govt stole tens of thousands of Indigenous kids—forcing them to convert to Christianity & stripping them of their identities. Resistance was met with violence. Sexual abuse was rampant.

"If we can learn to see every person as a ‘fellow sufferer’, and thus extend our compassion without discrimination, then there are, even in these hard times, genuine grounds for hope."
A new biography shows how Schopenhauer’s philosophy of universal suffering might offer surprising grounds for hope.

Yet still fossil fuel usage continues to grow, and they barely agreed to *name* the problem at #COP30.

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

And most every Maine hospital is, financially speaking, hanging on by a thread.

The Rural Health funding you secured is a small fraction of what Trump’s bill cut, and only 15% of that can be used for actual care.

Maine is the oldest state in the US and its residents desperately need care.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.

If you can’t run for one of the 100 most powerful positions on earth without putting a target on the backs of children, you’re unfit for the office you seek to hold.

There are all of 2 transgender high school athletes in Maine yet one of the 8 people running for senate couldn’t not trip over himself to come out as a transphobe. This is the most depressing race and there’s still 7 months till the primary.
