I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes.

You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that.

Please share as well.

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive.

Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it.

Whoops.

Utah lawmakers’ own study found gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Will they lift the treatment ban?
The Utah Legislature's own newly-released study found that gender-affirming care benefits trans youth. Now, will lawmakers lift the treatment ban?

It’s 2025, well past time we made the #StarWars fandom no place for hate.

Because there are more of us, dammit.

One of the best features of the Star Wars fandom is the ability of the fans to create lore out of simple continuity errors or underlying factors from filming.

Just finished @gailsimone.bsky.social’s “Red Sonja: Consumed” and holy crap what an amazing book! I didn’t expect any less, but even with high expectations I was blown away!

Donald Trump has released a new EO to "eradicate anti-Christian bias."

What is one of the examples of "anti-Christian bias" cited in his order? The recognition by Biden of Transgender Day of Visibility, which fell on the same day as Easter Sunday last year.

Old enough to remember when they kicked my wife out for "decorum" for stating that anti-trans laws harm trans kids.

Now you got Nancy Mace out there yelling "tranny tranny tranny" into the microphone.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
