The langage of “therapeutic choice” now championed in legislation across the country comes from these groups. When NARTH was exposed, they rebranded to the alliance for “therapeutic choice” and “scientific integrity” which should raise some alarms right now.

They implemented their tactics in healthcare systems like these, whose policies allowed providers to go wildly off-script in the name of “conscience.” This blurring of medicine and faith will get so much worse in the next four years, as public dollars are turned over to the church in record numbers.

Some of the most vile rhetoric used by the current administration didn’t come from nominally secular orgs like SEGM. They came from explicitly religious orgs with overt ties to conversion therapy groups like NARTH. The former was created to make the latter palatable in the eyes of the public.
I received gender-affirming care from a Catholic medical organization in WA and they slowly detransitioned me over the course of 3 years before I woke up to what was happening. I already don't think these are safe places to seek care if you are trans.
Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

Stop defending institutions or bigotry

Stop defending ineffectual leaders who can't stand up to the bigotry in their own organizations

Do fight against bigotry

Do fight against institutions of bigotry

Demand better of your leaders

Demand for a better less bigoted world

The thinnest skinned people are those constantly defending centrists and those working with centrism.

Can't call for actual change because "that's not how the system is structured" rather than recognize defending such a broken system is the problem

"What can the Pope possibly do about the bigotry in Church"

Not the great argument some of y'all think it is.

Like I see you recognize that excuse doesn't work for Democrats

So why this glaring blindspot!?

One reason why elite schools (Columbia, Brown, Cornell) caving to Trump’s illegal impoundment and extortion is so galling — a betrayal, really — is that they would have won had they fought. By giving up, they guaranteed every other school will have to fight harder.

so to be clear this is the exact reason that the Constitution prohibits foreign emoluments. A president susceptible to foreign bribery is functionally a traitor to the republic for hire.

Hence, also, why these two crimes are explicitly named as the basis for impeachment and removal.

changed my mind, actually my most woke opinion is that we should abolish the nuclear family and raise children collectively in communities, this would solve so much abuse and systemic issues.

parents raising kids alone as a concept is individualistic and in service of capitalism.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Which brings us to Graham Platner. We spoke with him for a long time today. And we spent probably 20 minutes on the tattoo. We pushed hard. And he answered.

I would like people to listen to that exchange before they call us Nazis (which is absurd since one of our cohosts is a literal Nazi hunter.)
