GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

And you can't make COVID go away by pretending you don't need to protect from it, & one of these days Americans are going to get it in their heads it's important to protect others.

Chantal James @chantalalive.blacksky.app · 6h

Universal masking, which we tried for two hot seconds in America before people started throwing tantrums & posting up with their guns, is about the same kind of understanding ourselves as a collective we would actually need to counter fascism. You care about the community so you set a group norm.

Digital illustration of my OC Rivenn in mine and my friend's sci fi AU. On the right what his royal outfits would maybe look like, the two on the left with brown scarf are deeper into story, stolen from enemy soldiers probably, when he's trying to stay hidden and not get taken as hostage again

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Rana. Rana was studying to work in a medical laboratory before the war and her husband owned a small gift shop. Their home and shop were destroyed. They have two children Hamoud, 3 and Tota, 7. Hamoud’s eyes were injured and needs treatment.

What purpose does a Fenway Health that abandons trans youth, and presumably will soon abandon trans adults, even serve?

At that point, you may as well shut the entire clinic down. This is tearing the entire heart out of the organization, sacrificing it's mission and sabotaging it's legacy.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 1d

Fenway health in Boston has stopped providing gender affirming care to trans youth.

I was previously on the board of this organization and I've never been so disgusted with their leadership cowardly capitulating like this.

Alt text:
Statement from Fenway Health explaining that due to new federal requirements effective October 1, 2025, they can no longer provide medical gender-affirming care such as hormones and puberty blockers to patients under 19, but all other services for patients of all ages will continue unchanged.

This is an abandonment of the most vulnerable trans youth, for whom Fenway Health was often a provider of last resort, and signals Fenway’s willingness to abandon all trans patients.

They must be pressured over this capitulation. We need your help - reach out, call, demand answers!

Let them know what you think.

Gov. Healey: 617-725-4005
AG Campbell: 617-727-2200
Fenway: 617-267-0900

cis Bostonians specifically, we need you to step up. I'm already seeing my local trans circles raise hell about this, but we need you, too. I wrote a phone script. Use it and spread it:

Hello, my name is [name] and I'm a [transgender] constituent living in [City], Massachusetts. I'm calling to bring to Gov. Healey's attention the deeply alarming development coming from Fenway Health, in which they've recently announced they will no longer provide gender affirming healthcare to patients under the age of 19 in order to retain their federally recognized status. This is in utter direct violation of our state constitution, specifically Chapter 127, in which quote, "Access to reproductive health care services and gender-affirming health care services is a right secured by the constitution and laws of the commonwealth. Interference with this right, whether or not under the color of law, is against the public policy of the commonwealth." This is also in contradiction of Boston declaring itself a sanctuary city for transgender people, the resolution which states Boston has, quote, "a specific commitment to protecting transgender and gender-diverse individuals. Taxpayer-funded agencies shall not comply with federal efforts to strip resources that safeguard their rights. Boston will not cooperate with federal or state policies that harm transgender and gender-diverse people and remains committed to ensuring their access to healthcare...without fear or discrimination."

As Massachusetts' first openly gay Governor, I'm aware that this past August Gov. Healey signed updated Shield laws protecting gender affirming healthcare in Massachusetts. Jordina Shanks, the CEO of Fenway Health herself, said these protections are quote, "a landmark victory for health care, human dignity... and that Massachusetts stands as a national beacon of equity and compassion." I am in complete and utter disgust, yet unsurprised, that a leading institution in gender affirming healthcare is capitulating to federal threats that are not law, and acting in direct opposition to the city of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This is a deep betrayal of their transgender patients. I urge Gov. Healey to bring all powers of the state to investigate and reverse this gross over-compliance on the part of Fenway Health.

I think Eric also makes a very important point about the motivations of Republicans in supporting this kind of legislation.

It reminds me of how Republican support for increased SSI income limits is tied to religious people wanting more disabled couples to marry.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 5h

Republicans correctly understood that education for people with disabilities promoted self-reliance and reduced the likelihood people with disabilities would be dependent on the government. It's why Ford, Nixon, Bush, Bob Dole and Chuck Grassley supported it.

The GOP once supported special education programs. Recent dismissals at the Education Department put an end to that support.
