The GOP isn’t pro-life: “proposed House definition for SNAP, once that child turns 7 — usually someone in second grade — they could no longer be considered a dependent, with one exception.” The exception is married working parents.

The republicans really can't stay out of your underwear.

"A Texas state bill could charge transgender people with “gender identity fraud,” making it illegal to identify as trans"
Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail
The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.

Congress just passed a bill that strips judges of the power to stop unconstitutional laws. If H.R. 1526 becomes law, the courts won’t be able to protect us from authoritarian abuse. This isn’t a drill...

The Iowa legislature just became the first in modern history to repeal a statutory civil rights law by removing protections for gender identity first passed in 2007. They have legalized discrimination against trans people in housing, healthcare, and employment.

This is a campaign of eradication.

🚨 Texas House Rep. Brent Money has introduced the first total ban on gender affirming care for all trans people in Texas. This is an unequivocal ban affecting all trans people by removing amending the existing ban on trans youth to apply to adults as well.

I am currently getting multiple reports that Google, in an attempt to remove pronouns in the US government email accounts, just removed pronouns for every private workplace account in the world.

If you use Google workspaces, go check on that and confirm for me.

Overcompliance leads to stupidity.

THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE PERMANENT VISA BANS TO TRANS VISITORS TO THE US.

This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications.

My mum was born in 1940 when there were very few vaccines available, so she saw firsthand what can happen when children are exposed to childhood diseases without the benefits of vaccines. She had friends who died and she had friends who were left crippled.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.

Measles cases continue to surge globally, putting millions of children at risk.

More than 10 million people globally were infected with measles in 2023, a 20% increase from the previous year.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.
