I criticize Dems so hard because it's the only way we will ever get out of this. The next four years are going to suck for queer and trans people, immigrants, unions, wealth inequality, those who need healthcare, and more.

We only claw back with a party that knows where its heart is.
"But Democrats had to pass the TikTok ban because Republicans made them by attaching it to other legislation"

Not in the House, but also...

The same people saying this are going to excuse when Dems vote for anti-trans bills in the budget over the next 4 years, like they already did with the NDAA.

If you care about trans rights, now would be the time to call your conservative democratic senators (or any democratic senator for that matter) and tell them to filibuster Speaker Johnson’s title IX trans discrimination bill.

One doctor’s recommendation to deny a 43-year-woman coverage “contained errors on practically every aspect” of her condition, the Labor Department said in 2012.

United and other insurers continued to hire the doctor over the next decade.

Insurers Continue to Rely on Doctors Whose Judgments Have Been Criticized by Courts
In dozens of cases ProPublica reviewed, judges found that some doctors working for these companies engaged in “selective readings” of medical evidence and “shut their eyes” to medical opinions opposing their conclusions.

If you’re maybe feeling like you received more than you gave this holiday: consider donating to the VUMC Children’s Hospital Emergency Clothing & Toiletry Closet. Lots of kids come to the hospital in clothes they cannot wear home. Amazon wishlist is here: news.vumc.org/2024/12/20/e...

Very curious what would happen if someone was concerned that Nancy Mace may not be a woman, like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Who performs the genital exam? Do taxpayers pay for this exam?
"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.

Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC
