NEWS: House Appropriations Committee Republicans released their spending bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. The legislation would prohibit taxpayer dollars for any type of gender-affirming care for transgender people. This would include programs like Medicaid

The anonymous game developer who is out £80,000 says it well, referring to PayPal's ability to withhold their funds: "We don't make anything illegal, but when almost every bank is collectively saying 'we don't do business with you if you make content X or Y,' then the content almost becomes functionally illegal."

Apathetic cis folks need to start paying attention and speaking up. A lotta folks claim allyship, but if you're not getting loud and making it know that this will NOT be tolerated, your allyship is worthless.

one very real, concrete way to help feed Gaza right now is through donating to World Central Kitchen

WCK’s mobile bakery in Gaza is currently producing 45,000 loaves of bread every day. With more supplies, including flour and fuel, we'd be able to more than double that daily output and support more Palestinian families in need. #ChefsForGaza

If this doesn't terrify you, you're not paying attention. If you think this will only apply to serious criminals, you don't understand how easily the regime can just call you a serious criminal for ANY REASON and render you stateless without due process.

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Jaws

🩸🦈I made a list to score, with 13 levels of stereotypes about sharks, I hope it is useful for those who want to create works beyond the fear ingrained by Jaws and seek new creative representations of sharks.

#shark #jaws #jaws50thanniversary #jaws50
After noticing patterns over the years, I created this list with 13 points to score the level of stereotypes about sharks present in a work. I believe that most of these stereotypes have their main origin in the film Jaws (1975). With the scarcity of works that explore other creative approaches to sharks, beyond the “man-eating ” narrative, Jaws ended up consolidating itself as the greatest source of inspiration and creative reference for many productions to this day. This was called “The Jaws Effect”. I've noticed that certain patterns in the creative world repeat themselves to the point of being tedious, which bothers me. Not because they're bad, but because in many cases they're harmful. With these points, I hope to show sharks in a new light.

For those who can’t protest locally but still want to help, a redditor provided a great suggestion. Call your representative and tell them they need to step in. The more people that contact their reps, the better. Here’s a link you can use to find your representative

r/LosAngeles u/ReasonOne5623 • 2h Angry About the LA ICE Raids? Here's What You Can Do NOW I am absolutely pissed and disgusted at how ICE is treating our city, clearly racially profiling us and using people being Mexican as "reasonable suspicion." However, protesting isn't the only tool we have. We can and should pass a law in California that requires ICE to have a judicial warrant before they can conduct immigration enforcement on public property managed by the state or local governments. That means places like sidewalks, public transit stations, schools, hospitals, libraries, and city-owned parking lots would be off-limits unless ICE gets a real warrant from a judge. This would neuter ICE in California and would prevent further actions like what has happened recently in LA from occurring again. ICE almost never uses judicial warrants; they rely on administrative warrants issued internally by ICE. This would be a massive middle finger. Please call your state senators and ask them to consider drafting or introducing a bill like this. Some of them already have parts of this in progress, and hearing from you gives them the backbone to push it forward. My state senator is Lola Smallwood-Cuevas. I called her office and they said they were working on something like this and that they really appreciate knowing she has public backing. What just happened in LA could have been prevented or at least made much more difficult. We do not have to wait for the next outrage. We can act now. Go to this link to find your state senator and/or assembly member and demand action: https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov Click on their hyperlink which will take you to their website, then scroll all the way down to their contact info and phone numbers. Ideally, call their district office. Wait until Monday so you have a better chance of speaking to a staffer. Over the weekend it will mostly be voicemail, which is still useful, and you can also follow up with an email. Just to be clear, this wouldn't ban ICE from enforcing immigration law altogether. It would require them to have a judicial warrant before conducting enforcement actions on property owned or managed by the state or local government. That includes public schools, libraries, hospitals, sidewalks maintained by the city, and public transit areas. This is completely legal and consistent with California's existing sanctuary policies like SB 54. Here's a script you can say: "Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I'm a resident of [Your City or ZIP Code]. I'm calling because I'm extremely upset about the recent ICE raids in Los Angeles. They appear to be racially motivated and are causing fear in our communities Here's a script you can say: "Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I'm a resident of [Your City or ZIP Code]. I'm calling because I'm extremely upset about the recent ICE raids in Los Angeles. They appear to be racially motivated and are causing fear in our communities. I'm asking [Senator/Assemblymember] [Last Namel to consider introducing or supporting legislation that would ban all ICE enforcement actions on public property without a judicial warrant. That includes places like sidewalks, schools, hospitals, and transit areas. We need stronger protections for Californians. Please let [Senator/Assemblymember] [Last Name] know this matters to me, and I'll be following what action they take. Thank you."

If you're out of the loop, here is a very VERY brief comic touching on just the little bits I know.

This bill can (and WILL, if passed again) redefine sex as it applies to law, eliminate gender affirming healthcare access, and prevent insurance coverage FOR it.

#art #transrightsarehumanrights
My sona waving in a friendly way, under the bright pink word: HELLO! A closer view of me/my sona, now slightly more detailed. I look nervous as I briefly discuss what I know of/about the bill being discussed, and why it is so scary. It will likely be passed, and could prevent gender affirming care for anyone relying on any insurance coverage for it. This includes not only HRT and Surgeries, but also Therapy. An even more detailed, closer view of me. I look distressed as I look down at my own hand, mumbling that our voices only go so far. Above and beside my text reads: "What do I Do???" "...Well...Call your reps. This bill will KILL. Many of us rely on insurance to afford the care WE NEED..." A closeup view of my eyes, looking haggard and bloodshot, tearful and staring bleakly forward, desperate. "Frankly...If all you do as an ally is talk about how hard it is for you to help?" The next text is wrapped around and below the eyes, in vicious red and black scrawls. "At least look us in the eyes as we are CULLED."

Congress is currently attempting to pass a bill that will ban transgender healthcare for minors and adults under Medicaid and ACA. It passed in the House, and is going to the Senate. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on HR1, to help transgender people like myself continue to access healthcare

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.

@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

One of the easiest ways you can reach your senators right now. So many trans people, myself included, won't be able to access life-saving HRT if this passes, this is a murder bill plain and simple.

Cis folks: this is the bare fucking minimum.
