Black history is American history, and the attack on Black history is an attack on American history.
It's right out of the fascist playbook - rewriting and erasing the past so they can control the future.
We stand together to reaffirm #HandOffOurHistory.

We’re partnering with civil rights groups and other allies during the Freedom to Learn Network’s National Week of Action to say #HandsOffOurHistory.
This week, we are focused on fighting back against the erasure of Black history in our libraries, museums, and classrooms.

The Department of Health and Human Services just released its garbage report on gender affirming care. They left the authors anonymous because they're cowards and want to limit criticisms of bias. That said, it's clear this was authored by SEGM members.

disappearing American CITIZENS is a good idea (word to the wise, it is NOT). During WWII, Japanese American CITIZENS were rounded up and sent to “relocation” camps. At Heart Mountain, Wyoming, more than 10,000 CITIZENS were imprisoned simply for being of Japanese descent. shorturl.at/8r2Ti (2/2)

Every review of youth gender medicine is just, "there's evidence that this helps and no evidence that this causes harm, but here's why that doesn't count."
reading the HHS "gender dysphoria report" summary and this is some truly insidious shit. sure, all the studies SAY the kids are happier, but we bet they aren't actually. they're all hopped up on something we bet probably

We don't. I am fairly sure the idea is to make people once again be too afraid to seek a diagnosis, thereby making it appear as though RFKJoker's antivaxer conspiracy nut nonsense actually works. Manipulation of numbers through fear is not new to this administration.
