i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!
A New York City doctor said he will continue providing gender-affirming treatments to his patients younger than 19 despite President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to ban such care.
New York doctor says he'll continue providing transition care despite Trump executive order
As legal battles are fought over an executive order restricting transgender care for patients younger than 19, some clinics continue to provide the care, while others are backing off.

This is the policy of people who fervently believe in eugenics. They are going to sell this as a thing that impacts Black and Brown people. But it's really designed to get rid of the poor white people (disabled, elderly, substance abuse issues etc.) that rich white people loathe.
BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%.

Conception results in a single cell that does not have gonads or make gametes, obviously.
It's weeks into development before the organs for pelvic anatomy start to be established, &even then, how they'll develop isn't a given. 1/x

Everyone is functionally “female” at conception. So these clowns don’t even know how fetal development works.
cis folks, please read this hideous thing. if you didn’t believe it was all one fight before, they snuck in some “fetal personhood” here. we’re in this together.
and remember: if you know a trans person, *no, you don’t.*
*we* get to decide when/if we disclose. don’t put your trans friends at risk.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

The ADL calls the organizations protesting the war, IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace, antisemitic.
They also depict them as aberrations of the Jewish community. In so doing, they as an org come out in favor of the war itself and are casting any critics of it as un-Jewish antisemites.

Yes, but only for lunch, and we were like the only school that did that. The reason was because they couldn’t reasonably fit the amount needed into the cafeteria.
If you’re a millennial, were you allowed to leave campus in high school if you had a free period? We were, but I think my class was possibly the last class that was allowed do that at mine.

A reminder that Israel is functionally a colony of the US and a testing ground for american military, police, and surveillance technology. Half the government in Israel was born in the US. Netanyahu was born and raised outside of Philly. There is no Israeli occupation without US guidance and support

"Palestine/Israel is so complex! They're both justified if you think about it!" No they're not. Literally theyre not. The situation is not complex. It's straightforward. It's evil. It needs to end. Palestinians need their freedom to redeem the soul of this modern age.

It costs us nothing to vocally support Palestinian liberation. The world is watching. Apartheid must end and both-sidesing brutal occupation only serves your own twisted ego.
With Palestinians risking everything for their liberation I feel like the very least we in the US can do is be vocal in supporting them and opposing US funding for Israeli apartheid. We’re risking… what exactly, followers and our reputation among Zionists? Also support BDS organizing in your area!

Every single “non-violent” action by Palestinians has been violently crushed by the Israeli regime. There is an important parallel here. Regardless of how it is you resist, they will treat you the same.
