Seriously, fuck The Atlantic
Helen Lewis is back in The Atlantic with "Youth Gender Medicine Is Indeed Up for Debate". It is a masterclass in manufacturing consent, framing the capitulation of medical bodies to political terror as a calm "return to reason."

It's time to get involved in the community. There are too many attacks against us to rely on officials.

Helping ppl get birth certs, or passports, or Real IDs. Whatever the case may be. It's time to stop sitting around.

Last week, I called out Boebert for not showing up in district. She said that she posts tele town halls. She then posted the announcement for her October 2025 town hall...yesterday. As in: Feb 2026. It's OK for the hard-working people of CO-4 to expect more than Boebert's weak act. Help me fire her.

Lucy: How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I'd been sexually assaulted?

Lucy’s Dad: I have two other daughters who live with me so it wouldn’t upset me that much.

Later that day, Lucy’s dad murdered Lucy.

Then a grand jury let him walk.

Fuck Lucy’s dad.
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.

Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

Ken Paxton, aka, Strokey McLazy-eye, is leading the Republican Senate bid against incumbent John Cornyn.
Further proving the more MAGA you go, the more Texas loves it.
A lot of deeply seated hate around here.

" no purity test'

Why the f*** are people like this?

It's the primary... This is the time for purity testing.

The purpose of a primary is to test somebody's purity.

Yes, purity tests.

That's what primary elections are for!

So I received these both on the same day in the mail. One is a letter from a Jehovah's Witness. The other, a biography of a Prussian, gay, 19th/20th century physician who supported the idea that sex and gender is relative.
Sometimes mail is still fun.

anyway i know how many of you hate that i’m so vocal about this and think it makes me a naive shitlib or whatever. but again, i think the best thing you could do for yourself here is to get involved in election administration where you live.

I know I have said this before, but humans have such a short time on earth. I don't understand why we spend most of it trying to just survive. And why do many of us waste our lives trying to make others miserable?

Life shouldn't be this way.

Conservative media having a heyday with this one. Thing is, this line should be the main takeaway.
"Transition regret is rare...a 2024 report in The American Journal of Surgery, with 55 studies, put regret of gender-affirming surgeries at 1 percent overall, both for minors and adults...far lower than regret of having various types of elective plastic surgery, being tattooed, or having children."
New York jury finds psychologist and surgeon didn't follow best practices in gender-affirming care case
The plaintiff's lawyer said it wasn't a referendum on gender-affirming care, but a question of adhering to guidelines for providing it.

I'm including a note at the beginning of my next novel that says "The author attests that the work in its entirety is uncorrupted by genAI and every element is wholly a result of the author's creative practice." Hoping to either help start a trend or jump on an existing bandwagon!

Jeff Bezos gave Trump $40 million by buying the 'Melania' documentary through Amazon.

Last week, it premiered.

Now, Trump's 'Secretary of War' visits Bezos' Blue Origin, which gets billions in government contracts.

Trump gets paid. Taxpayers get screwed.
