your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people
no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

Being human is the only requirement for human rights.
There is no disability, diagnosis, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, age, criminal record, religion, country of origin, etc that disqualifies a person.

Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, according to many election analysts.
This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state.
The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin.
This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

Went to urgent care for elbow pain, and the PA greeted me a handshake and “congratulations on being a member of the morbid obesity club”. Seems fitting that I just re-listened to the bonus episode of Maintainence Phase @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @yrfatfriend.bsky.social go to the doctor.

CA’s not going to be the safe haven many folks thought it might be.
1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.
He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.
It's so much worse than being reported.

the whole project is eugenics and always has been. not one person should be even a little okay with any part of it.
"It’s easy to miss the human side of policy, legal compliance, the nitty gritty of efficient government. To get caught up in slogans about fraud or waste. That’s what Musk and Trump are counting on. And yet I see and hear the human side every time my son says “My dad’s name is David.” On @msnbc.com

My kid lives in Siddall Hall and sent me these yesterday. First is what was put up by the school, second is the students’ alteration of the administrations’ cowardice.

"There should be room for those conversations" — OK but why isn't there room for pointing out that it's a moral panic utterly devoid of evidence
The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

I keep thinking about how the misrepresentation of the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit convinced Americans that it was too easy to sue corporations — a laughable idea if you think about it for 10 seconds.
It's the same with trans kids: The scandal is that care is too hard to get, not too easy.

10/n To sum up:
1. The moral panic was gibberish. Only a tiny proportion of kids have ever been diagnosed with GD, and very few of those got drugs in the UK.
2. Services in the UK were TERRIBLE before the Cass review. Less than 1/10 ELIGIBLE kids were prescribed medications!

Gender affirming care is life saving.
I am getting spotty reports of hospital systems in blue states cancelling gender affirming care appointments for those under 19 years of age.
If true, this would be a major problem, as systems comply with illegal EOs in advance out of fear of DOJ weaponization.
Please let me know if yours has.

![Dear Principal _______
My child, ____, is a _____ grader at and we have
loved our time here. I am deeply concerned about President Trump's 1/29 Executive Order, "Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schools" [sic].
Our school has a diverse student population that includes transgender and gender nonconforming students.
Adhering to the guidelines of this executive order would grievously harm these students, betraying the trust of them and their families alike.
Will you please publicly reaffirm our school's commitment to celebrating, protecting, and respecting all students and their identities, and be clear with the DoE leadership that we need them to resist this attack on students and teachers' civil rights, human rights, and First Amendment rights? If there are other ways you can think of to stand up for our students, please let me know. We're ready to stand with you and our wonderful school.
