Books, poems, film, etc. may require retraining a brain to slow down.
And it's important bc while scrolling social media pushes the happy button, it rarely provides actual happiness. It's like food with no nutrients; your brain ate a lot but it's still starving for things that scrolling can't give.

RFK Jr is directly responsible for the deaths of 83 children in American Samoa from measles because he told them to stop vaccinating. Now, he's trying to kill trans kids. He's a fucking psychopath.
HHS is trying to force Seattle Children's into doing a Sophie's choice of abandoning trans youth or see kids with cancer or other serious illness have their coverage and care disrupted. That's what this is about.
Hopefully, the courts put a quick stop to this like the subpoenas.

I started at 59k/year when I was at NYLAG as a staff attorney representing trans asylum seekers. This kind of money to target a community like this is unimaginable to me. It's infinitely more profitable to sow hate than it is to help people.
Anti-trans demagogue and fifth place swimmer Riley Gaines earned $470,000+ last year from a conservative non-profit.
Notably, $420k was incentive-based.
A neat little window into the way the transphobic grift is being compensated.
I wonder what the per-post rate is?

Not that this isn’t just horrific but it is especially evil considering that rapes remain underreported and(/because they are) under-prosecuted for military service members. If you can’t even get justice against your rapist now you have to carry their fetus, too.
This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient.
The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.

1. New federal rules were released last week banning gender affirming care for youth at hospitals nationwide.
Those rules don't go into effect until public comment, months from now.
But it appears Sec. Kennedy is using an arcane process to try to implement them immediately.

Censorship can hit any community — show up for your next library board and school board meeting and speak up for your local librarians!!
This was a very timely screening for Tennesee librarians as they are currently facing audits within their youth collections as well as local attempts to pass bans on public library books. In the “last school year, at least 1,623 books were banned from Tennesee classrooms alone.” (-The Tennessean).
At a recent screening at Belcourt Theatre in Nashville, TN, The Tennessean stopped by to witness the “scoffs,” “gasps,” and “audible sniffers” from the audience as well as their thoughts on the film. “I feel like I just watched a horror movie based on a true story.”
