I'm so goddamn tired of saying this but: this is it.
All the worrying that trans folks have had since he took office? This is why. This is the first step on a short road that ends with the criminalization of trans existence in the US. It isn't doomsaying. It isn't panic. It's right in front of us.

The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY
Trump pushes an end to medical care for transgender youth nationally

I took a college class about ways ppl resisted the nazis, and so much of it was sneaky clever stuff like this, or using the nazi’s own stereotypes about ppl to make things difficult for them
Gonna talk in entomology class today about how Jewish scientists forced to work in Nazi concentration camps secretly sent fake vaccines to the eastern front and managed to kill 4,000 Nazis with typhus.
Vaccine subterfuge: How vaccine-makers fooled the Nazis from inside a concentration camp lab
Confined first at Auschwitz then Buchenwald, a Jewish microbiologist conspired with a ragtag team of scientists and rebels to send dud typhus vaccines to the German soldiers on the eastern front.

I’ve come around on it. This character is discovering that he keeps coming back from the dead (maybe can’t die?) so using nigh-unkillable phragmites here is a fitting choice. However I still want to Burn It

Firmly believe that people actually love to have a useful little job, and we’d all do em for free if the working conditions were good and our needs were taken care of
My elementary school had so many little jobs that we all loved to do. I worked in the cafeteria (put tins onto the trays and sold milk cartons) and the ball room (lent out play equipment). Being the librarian’s assistant during lunch was one of the most sought-after positions!

Shivana is right as usual, also you’d be surprised what can end up influencing your comics! A really boring college geology class helped me do Witchlight world building ✌️
my hot take is some of y'all need to stop only reading comics. read prose, go to a museum, learn scrimshaw, wtfever. go be an interesting person first because i can TELL when people don't ingest anythiinnggg else but comics
Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

It's a good idea at this point to keep as many eyes as possible watching their livestream to make sure the genocidal regime knows the world cares what happens to them. Put it on in the background if you are busy doing something else

1. It's shutdown day, and anti-trans provisions are on the line... either today, or in a few more weeks if a clean continuing resolution passes.
Trump posted a video this morning blaming a shutdown on trans people and immigrants.

I don’t speak on this very often, but I urge you to call. If this goes through, it won’t just be federal funding that stops for gender affirming care. It’s federal money now, but insurance companies follow what they’re allowed to do and if they’re allowed to drop us, they will.
Please call.

The stopgap measure being voted on today to try to avoid govt shutdown includes a provision that could strip ALL federal funding from any institution/facility providing access to any form of gender-affirming care, for anyone of any age. Call.

Trump and Dems are officially meeting Monday.
This is after Trump cancelled his last meeting with Democrats because they were holding firm on immigrant and transgender protections.
The Republican budget has dozens of anti-LGBTQ+ riders.
Call your Dem senators, people, don't let them capitulate.

A judge in Massachusetts today issued what I think is the first judgment against the DOJ's attempt to subpoena doctors who treat trans patients. The judge quashed the subpoena the DOJ issued against Boston Children's Hospital, home to the country's first gender clinic for adolescents.

1. Great news out of a federal court in Maryland this morning.
A judge has ruled that Trump's trans passport ban is likely unconstitutional, blocking it for the plaintiffs.
Importantly, it rules that it is likely unconstitutional at ANY level of review.
