So Newsom's podcast is basically a tour de transphobia, huh?

Guess he took the "become a podcast bro" to heart.

New German, Swiss, And Austrian Guidelines Recommend Trans Youth Care, Slam Cass Review
The recommendations, released by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany, come at a time when US politicians erroneously claim that Europe is "pulling back" on transgender care.

Mr. Musk plans to layoff 83,000 workers at the VA. That means lower quality care for our vets. Unacceptable.

I agree with the VFW: The VA must “reconsider its planned reduction of 83,000 employees & thoroughly review any proposed cuts prior to rolling out further announcements.”

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.

True but… we are seeing the White House fire anyone even remotely connected to “diversity.” It’s meant specifically to be applied as broadly as possible while giving the WH plausible deniability.
The White House didn't say "stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen when you do US history." The White House said "stop doing DEI and wokeness," and the military interpreted it as "stop saying the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes, and maybe stop teaching about them altogether."

Yeah, that's bad.
Here's the thing about the Tuskegee Airmen history - there was nothing in the EO about it. Someone in the Air Force interpreted it that way -- which is far worse.

This is an excellent, in-depth article on what leaving the Paris Climate agreement means for the US by @borenbears.bsky.social

One conclusion: "Several experts say the US will lose out on a trillion dollar plus renewable energy boom, leaving other countries like China to rule the green economy."

For a long time, I've gone to Great Falls and the Billy Goat Trail in Maryland to clear my mind. The most magical time is after a big snow, when the trails are quiet.

It was so gorgeous today.
