The court got it wrong.
Denying transgender youth the health care they need solely because they’re trans is discriminatory, and we will keep fighting.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth can remain in effect.
This is devastating for trans people and our families but doesn’t end our work against President Trump’s attacks on trans people and our health care.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.
The White House blamed exposure to environmental toxins, poor nutrition and increased screen time for a decline in Americans’ life expectancy Thursday.
White House says food, toxins among reasons for poor U.S. health
Parts of the “MAHA report” contradict scientific consensus.

The Republican administration is also ordering all current international students (and postdocs, I believe) at Harvard to transfer or leave the country.
