![Hi, my name is
and I'm one of Senator
's
constituents. House Republicans are trying to insert a full transgender healthcare funding ban into the F-Y '26 budget bill. I'm calling to tell the Senator to stand up for trans Americans and vote NO on any bill with that language.
[you can stop here at 0:15 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]
This care funding ban follows the map the G-O-P charted while attacking abortion.
Democrats lost that fight by giving in to the G-O-P an inch at a time. Now, hundreds of millions of people have lost the right to control their own bodies.
Giving an inch at a time on trans care will devastate trans Americans and it'll get Democrats nothing in return but contempt.
[you can stop here at 0:35 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]
Right now, the most popular Democrat in the U-S, [Zo-RAHN Mom-DA-nee], is campaigning on making trans healthcare cheaper and easier to access, and he's only got more good will because of it.
[you can stop here at 0:47 if you want to bail out—but it's better if you don't]
I'm asking the Senator to stand with trans people now. Refuse to allow any anti-trans funding ban healthcare OR sports to pass into the F-Y '26 bill and do not vote for any bill with that language just to avoid a shutdown.
Standing with trans people is the right thing to do and it's politically smart. Voters and donors show up for Democrats who fight.
***
No need to read, but if anyone asks: The relevant House Appropriations Bill sections are 243-246 (healthcare funding ban) and 311-312 (sports funding ban).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mb74medxp5ft5aha4noes2h4/bafkreieuexbux6aq3ljrev4rrs4unafpfu7z4ia7xeqmajiwgfeiseunvy@jpeg)

I appreciate all the people recommending the Shock Doctrine. I've been thinking about what makes Trump's use of these tactics a little different.
In recent decades, shock tactics were used mainly to rapidly impose neoliberal economic policies. But what Trump is doing goes way beyond that.

Chaos and confusion. Somebody read @naomiaklein.bsky.social The Shock Doctrine as a manual, it seems. Time for people to read it again for countermeasures also.
White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion

Setting aside signaling to an in-group, a further neat thing about dogwhistles is that they seem to cause all sorts of conflict among NON-insiders with the battle lines drawn by the significance attributed to the signal 😬

in the middle-capitalist era some cultures celebrated a yearly festival in which the Avatar of Music was said to reveal each person's true musical nature. After was a period in which the deity turned its eyes from the world. Only then would one's anime soundtrack listening be hidden from god

I appreciate good intentions for what they are, but I think that I would prefer someone not defend me as a trans person at all rather than defend me by saying that I'm not hurting anyone so my way of living is fine

One thing about playing D&D for 15+ years is that no event with probability equal to or greater than .05 (i.e. 1/20) coming to pass *shocks* me. That stuff happens. I think about this more often every fourth year for predictable reasons
