I am really terrified of all of the things currently going on in the US and it's very likely things are gonna get worse.

remember when you were 20 and you could get hammered and go to bed two hours before you needed to go to work and you just had a powernap and a berocca and got over it?

if I don’t get 8 hours sleep now my entire butt falls off

the whole thing just kinda sloughs away, my hopes and dreams with it

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same

When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state

I continue to speak out against every bill that attempts to remove trans people from public life. And I will continue to do so for as long as I draw breath.

I hope one day the government will leave my people alone.

After publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care.

The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?
Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

My children have no option but Medicaid—private insurance won’t cover their therapies or services. Cutting Medicaid doesn’t just take away opportunities; for many kids like mine, it threatens their progress, their health, and their actual lives. #ProtectMedicaid #HandsOffOurMedicaid #MOMSky

1. Multiple hospital systems are complying with an unlawful executive order with dubious enforcement mechanisms and pulling their trans kids off care.

While most have not, those that have are harming their trans patients.

Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care.

The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care.

This one at UVA Hospital.
