Lucy Hicks Anderson was born in 1886. Vocal about her gender from an early age, she left home in 1901 and transitioned at 15. In 1945, she was successfully prosecuted for "masquerading as a woman."

You didn't think they were gonna stop this fertility moral panic at trans people did you? Next step is scandalizing voluntary hysterectomies to help push bans against that as well.

One of the NYPD brass said “this isn’t blue bloods” when explaining they can’t just immediately find the guy and I like that years of copaganda have set standards cops can’t meet and might be contributing to people’s correct perception that cops don’t effectively stop crime or find killers.

Once again, cis liberals make it abundantly clear that any attempts by trans people to assert ourselves as worthy of dignity and to voice any critiques of their comfort with institutional transphobia will not merely be silenced, but met with gleeful fantasies of violence against us.

Here we see the Heritage Foundation explicitly accusing Jewish Voice for Peace and many other Jewish people of being "antisemitic."
They want Jewish people to be harassed and terrorized as "antisemites" if they don't participate in the Christian Nationalist project represented by gentile Zionism.

After helping elect Trump, the billionaire backed Heritage Foundation is following up Project 2025 with Project Esther, a playbook for repression against the anti-war movement in solidarity with #Palestine.
Using anti-Semitic tropes against "Soros,' it seeks to directly target anti-Zionist Jews.

Top of the agenda is to go after providers of gender affirming care, including for adults. The FTC could also go after online platforms for displaying LGBTQ content which would be supercharged under KOSA.
This is catastrophically bad.

How did insurance companies become so hated?
Insurance has its origins in mutual aid programs such as the "Friendly Societies" in which workers pooled their resources to take care of each other. Insurance only became a racket after this model was captured by the state and for-profit corporations.

I feel like today is not the smartest day for health insurance companies to announce policy changes like this?
I've been on a 95% news+media+social media break while visiting chosen fam in Seattle. But in my 10mins on social media in a Lyft, I saw @jsmooth.bsky.social post an image about this.
As always, I did a quick source search/fact check to make sure it was real. #medialiteracy
Infuriatingly, it is.

Something that always falls flat with "civil unions were a stepping stone to marriage" stuff is that A) most places didn't have civil unions legal (only 3 by 2006), and B) Anti-gay laws proliferated after the first two states recognized them.
They didn't "help earn marriage equality" at all.

Ah but when you look at the historical example of gay marriage, the moderates who said civil unions were enough were wise and the extremists who wanted marriage equality were unnecessarily aggressive, and that is why the moderates won and gay people are content with only civil unions today
Also the Jeremy Peters piece has nothing to say on its own supposed terms—oh, a rights movement is a mix of accommodationists angling for compromise and more confrontational people demanding full empowerment, fascinating
