CHOC/Rady’s has capitulated to federal funding threats and is terminating their gender affirming care program as of 2/6. Rady’s has suggested they don’t have a choice - we disagree.
We are asking CHOC/Rady’s to be brave and stand with us.

See also: Trans people are the scapegoat bc the idea that a person can be born into one sex, transition, and assimilate seamlessly into the other (something demonstrably true with countless examples) threatens the core of an ideology that built everything on an unbridgeable divide between the sexes.
A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

This question gets to the heart of the matter - of the disagreement - for me.
"...how do you expect to come *close* to dismantling, defunding etc ICE at all?"
I don't want to come close. I don't want lip service as the best we can do. I don't want "It woulda been worse if it was the other guy."

None of this discussion attempts to answer my question: "If Dems don't win the midterms how do you expect to come *close* to dismantling, defunding, etc ICE at all?
It's not happening with the GOP MAGAts in charge, the only chance to defund, dismantle ICE is by Dems winning midterms.

I’ve had it up to here with voters being told that they owe Democrats their support. That’s not how it works. Democrats need to communicate a vision and a plan to voters to get their support.

I will immediately resign from my corporate gig and take the attendant pay cut if a future D POTUS offers me a DOJ spot persecuting members of this Administration
Honestly a federal commission with prosecutorial authority paired with stripping immunity from ICE officers would be a huge wombo combo

I grew up in a town full of undocumented immigrants, the family of my best friend in kindergarten was undocumented, undocumented immigrants were a net positive for our community
I'm so sick of this framing

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

It's also about convincing you that they impose reality and that they are the final arbiters of truth. Hence the importance of continuing to name reality and truth ourselves, at every single turn, with all that is available to us.
Every lie told by this regime, no matter how brazen, shocking, or dehumanizing, makes perfect sense when I think about their claim that immigrants were eating pets in Ohio. It's not about evidence or credibility, it's about pushing narratives to facilitate ethnic cleansing.
