🧵 An open letter to the US Open and USTA:
Trump will attend the #USOpen as a guest of ROLEX. Yesterday, Trump declared 'WAR' on Chicago. The USTA has called for media censorship of dissent against Trump today.
I played NCAA tennis many years ago and still play. Today I resign my #USTA membership.

Thank you, @propublica.org for exposing this injustice!
Dr. Nancy Harper, a Minnesota child abuse pediatrician, has been criticized by doctors, lawyers and even a judge for how she handled some cases of alleged child abuse. A colleague said he lost his job after questioning how Harper and her team made abuse diagnoses. @jlussenhop.bsky.social
A Doctor Challenged the Opinion of a Powerful Child Abuse Specialist. Then He Lost His Job.
A Minneapolis pediatrician said he felt pressured to “fall in line” with child abuse specialist Dr. Nancy Harper and her team. Then he was given a choice: resign or be fired.

I think there are lot of well-meaning non-trans people who think gender-affirming care is a luxury or aspirational thing, like dental veneers or nose jobs. "Sure, it'd be nice if trans folks had this care but they don't need it, do they?"
Yes. It's literally lifesaving. It's suicide prevention.

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.
Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.
