It’s Xmas Eve and yet I’m still gonna be a little spicy. The fact that the first American pope is from Chicago matters because unmooring power and perspective from the coasts especially east coast is an imperative for building something new and better
Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

This sentiment/argument was then repeated in the SCOTUS decision upholding state level bans on gender affirming care for youth, citing the NYT as its citation.
The nyt’s first story on the Cass report didn’t come out until the next day, when it portrayed the document, falsely, as part of a movement in Europe to restrict care. No such movement existed. France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria were taking positions in opposition to Cass and in line w doctors

The Trump administration is attempting to force a new term for gender affirming care to call it "sex rejecting procedures." This term was literally made up this year by the far right group Ethics and Public Policy Center in a comment submitted in April 2025. It is now being used widely by HHS.
