I'm going to say again that I understand that people need a job to live but sometimes you really have to quit.
This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

this is fucking devastating. children’s has been handling gender affirming care for kids and teens since my mom worked there 15 years ago. it’s so fucked that the government can do this.
Children’s has fought against this longer than most. This is very upsetting news for a lot of kids, it will absolutely hurt the mental health of them and their families, and I expect every MN politician to either fight fed transphobia or find a new job.

Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly part of paramilitary tactical units—including ICE’s two Special Response Teams (SRT), CBP’s one SRT, and the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC)—whose extreme tactics are generally reserved for war zones.

There was a point where I compiled like a half dozen of fires and associated arrests for our area of St Paul specifically and I think they were all Coon Rapids, Shakopee, New Prague types. None were closer than second ring. 100%.

Everyone arrested for rioting in midway was from the cop suburbs like coon rapids
During the George Floyd uprising, arsonists burned things like pharmacies in my North Mpls 'hood, several miles away from GFS. a lot of big name non-MN leftists explained to me, patronizingly, that this was actually an organic part of an uprising. just dropping that here for no particular reason.

-multiple ICE agents chase a Latino person who was in their yard. Person got inside & they didn’t follow as they clearly had no warrant & crowd of observers formed.
And this is just what I’ve seen personally. So much more terrible actions happening all the time.
This can’t be reformed. Abolish ICE

We have a right to gender affirming care, and that includes for trans kids. This decision by Children's is very disappointing and a demonstration of the times in which we live.

Let's not mince words: children will die if this is allowed to happen. We need state and local leaders to denounce this and to pressure Children's to reverse course.
Families have uprooted their lives to get care for their kids here in MN - we can't rip it away from them like this.
