Doesn't it strike you as strange that the people who shout long and loud that America is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles are the very people who don't want Christ's teachings of tolerance, pacifism, and generosity codified in law?

Merry Christmas everyone from Zooey and I :)
To the trans and queer readers, know you are all part of a community that looks out for each other and holds space when so few others do.
And I know days like today can be tough.
So please feel free to spend as much time here if you need to get away 💜

Incidentally, I am by no means a doomer, but it does feel a little doomy to me that Mitt Romney and Bill Kristol are taking political positions well to the left of the highest-ranking congressional Democrats.
Going back in time to 2009 and telling myself Bill Kristol is the Republican president’s harshest critic and Mitt Romney is begging the government to raise his taxes and watching as 2009 me goes into a coma.

We are spending $1 trillion every year on the military. That's more than the next NINE nations combined.
Meanwhile, millions lack health care & we have the highest childhood and senior poverty rate of almost any major country.
Congress needs to get its priorities straight.

While these states have laws against discrimination, those laws are useless if they are not enforced, and it appears state AGs have completely abandoned transgender people even in blue states while institutions capitulate to Trump.

Suing Trump Isn't Enough: Blue State AGs Must Enforce State Laws Protecting Trans People
Private entities overcomplying with Trump executive orders and targeting transgender people must not be given free passes to do so by blue states.

Shockingly, this bill would have failed were it not for the 3 Democrat defections.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

While we were busy with the US Congress, major international news on trans healthcare.
A New Zealand court announced an injunction on the far-right trans health care ban there.
The court says that the biggest danger is posed by banning care.

not exactly surprised that Disney is doing a Gaston movie at this time in history, lol. "What if that violent, charismatic misogynist who hates reading had something to him?" is not exactly an exciting question right now. Especially written & directed by men.

Not ok NH - just let people pee in peace
1. In a stunning new bill proposed by several New Hampshire republicans, transgender women could be charged with trespass for using the bathroom.
The bill is the first to apply to PRIVATE businesses.
It also ONLY applies to transgender women, not trans men.
