The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.
Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

This @mmfa.bsky.social study is so important: progressives' media problem is a supply and distribution issue (not content or demand).
Conservative billionaires invest billions every year in political content. Progressive funders don't come anywhere close.

1. What you see here is clearest illustration why things are so messed up and why it cannot get any better until this asymmetry is addressed.
Put simply: the right-wing has narrative dominance.
My org @mmfa.bsky.social did this study and has been sounding this alarm for years. Some thoughts...

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

From ~ 80F to a blizzard in 12 hours in Madison & western Minnesota. 🌡️❄️
That's Armistice Day Blizzard speed weather whiplash.
This storm would kill many in the days before NOAA, weather satellites, Doppler, weather balloons & numerical forecast models.
Food for thought given NOAA cuts.

90% sure at this point that the weird new type of generic I got this month for the first time for my “precariously fillable brain-functioning medication that shall remain nameless” prescription just flat does not work

Where we see hypocrisy, the right sees hierarchy. It is not the thing itself they oppose, they simply feel that only people like them should be allowed to do as they please -- and for them "as they please" is expansive and often includes violence. It's important to name this.

Remember these photos when the Republicans try and tell you that they are inevitable, and that they have a majority in this country. Trump went to an Iowa State game tonight and this was the response from the stands.
