"This basic constitutional requirement [to provide medical care] is being treated as controversial because the media and... lawmakers have so effectively demonized transgender people and immigrants that the idea that the Constitution would protect us is itself seen as something bordering on a joke."
And once again in @them.us, I had the distinct honor of interviewing @chasestrangio.bsky.social about Republican's manufactured controversy over gender-affirming care for incarcerated trans folks and the legal precedent that supports overwhelming access to this crucial and life-saving medical care.
Actually, Gender-Affirming Care for Incarcerated and Detained Trans People Is Not “Wild”
“Our health care isn’t a joke and some of the people claiming to be mocking Trump are really mocking us.”

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.

going to keep saying: it's important for basic functioning for a society to discourage baldfaced lying
It is worth regularly revisiting this exchange between @aoc.bsky.social and scientists working for Exxon, who in 1982 accurately predicted global warming between 1977 and 2003, contradicting the fossil fuel company's decades-long climate denial.

It would be politically smart for Democrats to name their own health team--a volunteer slate of healthcare officials (an alternative HHS head, surgeon general, CDC chief, etc.) who will offer factual info about health and science for the next 4 years. Start showing voters what a contrast looks like.
Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.
This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.
He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.
