Trump’s executive orders are not law.
This doctor knows it. Many hospital systems know it.
Those that comply with something not passed by congress and with power not constitutionally granted to the president are cowardly.

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.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.
Venezuelan Migrant Sent to Guantánamo Bay Is ‘Not a Criminal,’ Family Pleads (Gift Article)
Luis Alberto Castillo arrived in the United States so that he could “give everything to his son,” said his sister. Then, while scrolling on TikTok, she found out he was headed to Guantánamo.

They shouldn't have been in such a hurry to comply in advance, but at least some of them are figuring it out now.
Getting private word that a few hospitals that have paused care for trans youth are starting that care back up.
If your hospital is one of them, please message me privately.
Good to see the initial capitulation is receiving strong pushback.

I really believe that when capitalists make it clear that they'll disregard every peaceful, legal attempt by the public to enact meaningful change & will only make concessions when backed into a corner with violence: that's THEIR choice
If we could achieve goals w/o it, we would. It's their call.

Me too... With my 65-inch "monitor" 😁
Might be a hot take but I don't like handheld gaming.
I'm a big screen, turn the lights out, after my day is completely done kind of guy. When I lock in, I LOCK tf in.
I can't do that on a handheld device. I see the appeal, it just isn't right for me.

Every time the government shuts down some self proclaimed leftists say it's actually good on anti-imperialism grounds, and I just want to remind everyone that (a) Veterans benefits get cut off, but the military is still funded, and (b) PEOPLE WHO NEED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS DIE WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS.

I'm extremely skeptical of anyone who claims to be a disability rights advocate who is also confident that people should simply leave accommodations to those who can qualify for them, as though the qualification process isn't ableist to begin with

In 2024, several New Hampshire Democrats, afraid that anti-trans attacks would work, voted in favor of a trans surgery ban and bathroom bill.
They lost more seats than most other states. Now the R majority is ramping up targeting us.
Capitulation didn't work.
National Dems, take note.

We need accountability for systemic harm.
It’s a crime to kill someone.
But no one bats an eye if a politician cuts disability payments leading disabled people to starve to death.
Power and paperwork are a shield mass murderers hide behind.

Disabled rage is valid. Many disabled people fight just to prove our lives are worthy of living. Many of us are ignored, discriminated against, dismissed, and abused. When you tell disabled people to be happy, you’re telling us that we should accept the fact that the world doesn’t care about us.

I feel strongly that accessibility options in video games should ALWAYS be supported.
I don't care if you think a game is "meant" to be played a certain way. The trade-off should never be to hinder gamers with disabilities in order to preserve that. It's an incredibly selfish stance to take.

If you become disabled, the system will do everything in its power to try and not help you. Disabled people have been telling you this for decades. We can't just get all of our needs met. Most barely get enough to survive. The system is designed to fail us.

Our society expects women not to walk alone at night, expects cyclists to wear high-visibility clothing, expects immunosuppressed people to isolate indefinitely. Rather than addressing actual sources of harm, we demand the impossible—that vulnerable people somehow make themselves invulnerable
