This is very good. Clear, calm, factual, and devastating for proponents of bans on puberty blockers for trans youth.

Puberty blockers: why politicians overriding doctors sets a dangerous precedent
The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.

So many doctors, medical experts, paediatric organisations, human rights organisations, and medical organisations coming out against the government’s ban on puberty blockers.
It’s a tsunami of support for the trans community, and boy are the anti-trans bigots mad about it.

MAGA is a mean political movement. I don’t mean subtly, explicitly. It revels in mockery and cruelty.
And they’ll pull this shit again as soon as they get a chance.

"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.
Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Even more so because we never had cancel culture. We had the beginnings of a suggestion of cancel culture and most privileged people and every vector of institutional power treated it like the biggest moral hazard the world has ever seen and spent an astonishing amount of effort to shut it down.
Honestly, we could have used a lot more cancel culture.

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets.

For the love of God stop calling capitalism “Technofeudalism.” This is not a mutant regression off the track of benign capitalism’s progress to utopia. This is capitalism doing capitalism.

I highly encourage people to get involved more directly. Large general protests are 100% good and useful, but more targetted protests or activism should also be where you go next. Like get involved in anti-ICE activism in your city for example - helping to coordinate disrupting their activities.

I appreciate the energy behind the No Kings protest—it’s a net positive. But it feels a lot like the Women’s March, channeling and containing people’s activism instead of expanding it. What comes after? Does No Kings offer a path forward, or just a release valve that drains our energy?

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

In our economic system it’s not enough to post a profit every year. No. Your profit this year has to be bigger than last year. It HAS TO get bigger and bigger every year forever and that’s totally normal and not problematic at all.

I don't mind when shows/films/games/etc redesign a female character to make her chest smaller, i just hate it when it's ONLY done to "desexualize" them. As if large chests are inherently sexual.
