The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.
Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

If that thing guts Social Security , I would like a lump sum payment please. Every cent that the government has taken out of my paychecks for the last several decades, plus interest. That’s MY money.

This is a tough read, fellow Americans, but this is the cruelty we're doing to people who have no criminal records.
Every American needs to read this. This is our country. This is who we are and this is what we are doing. Next time I see or hear anyone say anything about “well, but we need to keep criminals off the streets…” I’ll be showing them this and asking them what a criminal is.

I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

I’m a huge fan of Nathan and Nathan’s work (and he knows his S&S!!) so this means a lot to me!! Thank you so much! ⚔️
@newedgeswordmag.bsky.social Issue 3 was once again chock full of great talent and great stories, but the absolute standout for me was @mollytanzer.bsky.social's Jirel and the Mirror of Truth. Clear, clean prose that felt fresh, but also elegant in a way most modern writers can't quite get right.

When the last of prep school reptilian Leon’s powerful family is murdered (probably by stupid humans), his only hope to avenge their deaths is Lizzie, his science lizard cousin. Getting to the truth puts Lizzie’s small town—and its working-class cryptids—in world-class peril. #2025Pit #A #SPF
