Ah one last check of the ol’ phone before bed. Lord knows I can’t sleep without reading at least 5 horrific stories about shit our country is doing.
Do other trans folks feel their relationship to their cousins increasingly alienated/ambiguous since transitioning? Like does my cousin from Texas hug me like I have brittle bones because he is a cis guy from Texas, or because I am now this weird thing he doesn’t understand?

They do not deserve a moment's peace
ICE agent recognized out Christmas shopping—throws tantrum when citizens profile him.

"We're trying to prevent you from kidnapping our neighbors," they say.

"I'm not doing anything but walking, leave me alone!" he yells.

"Not right now you're not—but the past 5 days you have."

“disavowing” your vote does jack shit for the people who said it would harm them and are now screwed by the current thing they asked you not to do
Rep. April McClain Delaney is disavowing her January vote in support of a law that requires federal law enforcement to detain undocumented immigrants accused — but not convicted — of certain crimes.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

It's truly remarkable how there will be news organizations and journalists who correctly identify that RFK is a menace and that HHS can't e trusted when he pushes stuff about vaccines or Tylenol causing autism... but cover the anti-trans stuff like "Well, HHS says so, and we should trust HHS!"
Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise.

It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

As trans healthcare is decimated no one is standing up for the integrity of the scientific process for these patients.

The new U.N. report confirms that a repeat of Obama’s climate denialism will doom humanity — and at least a few Democrats may finally recognize that.

The nyt’s anti-trans coverage has always been Sulzberger’s political project. He and his lieutenants saw trans ppl as easy prey, a way to show the right wing the nyt was not a “liberal rag” and pay no price for their bigotry

But there is a price: the lives of trans ppl, especially young ppl.
