It is all one fight. I’m on the side of the oppressed over the oppressor. Learn to tell the difference.

The end goal is eugenicist. RFK and his ilk know that this will make vaccines more expensive and time-consuming — and therefore marginalized children are most likely to fall through the cracks.
This is about killing kids who aren't born to privilege.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Remember it was the unarmed parents who were trying to charge the school and were STOPPED by cops who stood around letting kids die.

Which so many trans people said was exactly what was going to happen
You know a thing that is very bad about this? This is the anti-trans playbook being played against women. Start with 'has the x movement failed the people it's supposed to help', then infantilize them, then make the case they can't be responsible for their own choices, then take their rights away
"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

All the anti-trans stuff this week (really, this whole year and the past several leading up to it — but especially this week) has taken a real toll on me.
I feel so sad, scared, and angry. I feel like I don't belong in this world, and that really sucks.

I asked the DNC directly if any key party actors pressed the committee to keep these findings under wraps, and whether the report found that Future Forward failed in major ways. Here's their answer:

Just remember that the case that ended quotas and began the end of affirmative action, UC v Bakke (1978), started with a white NASA engineer who felt he was entitled to a spot in medical school 🧪
This is from 1989, Claremont McKenna sociologist Fredrick Lynch’s “Invisible Victims: White Males and the Crisis of Affirmative Action”

if you are a trans teen right now, you do not have the lifetime of experience with the united states federal legislative branch to cope with “this will *probably* die in the senate” on top of the rest of your life and that right there feels like a fucking flavor of abuse at scale.
I haven't been in the pediatric trans healthcare system since 2019 and I can barely look at these headlines without wanting to puke.
Can't imagine the fucking damage this is doing to trans kids today.
