I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.
We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

Ana's situation has gotten more severe. This is blatantly targetted debanking and [extremely unfortunate] proof that these call campaigns are getting under paypros skin
Keep calling Visa and MC and demanding they stop discriminating against adult content!

Reading Miss Majors Speaks was an incredibly moving experience last year. I can't recommend this book enough for those unfamiliar with her work.

yeah and the us government is currently doing this exact thing to "drug runners" on the us-mexico border and venezuelan seas right now and will be doing this increasingly to populations within the city occupations.
This story is WILD. Trump sent Seal Team 6 into North Korea to plant a listening device. The entire thing went sideways within minutes of landing when they noticed a fishing boat near the beach. They killed everyone on board, sunk the bodies to cover their tracks, and fled. Congress was never told.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023.
They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."

correcting a previous QT as details become clearer &, yes, this provision *would* also block access to HRT, as a “transition procedure.”
that affects up to 152,000 trans people who have no access to healthcare outside of medicaid/chip—a number i expect will rise due to employment discrimination.

Major good news for my transmasculine readers.

They were unable to get 12-month supply stockpiles due to its controlled status, but it WAS upgraded from 3 to 6 months.

1. A major bill protecting trans people just passed in Washington.
It makes insurers cover 12-month supplies of HRT which can be obtained at pharmacies, allowing trans people to stockpile medication to outlast supply disruptions.
