In Hurricane Katrina, mainstream media were more worried people might take stuff rom WalMart than that grandmothers were dying on rooftops of buildings surrounded by contaminated floodwater.
People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

HHS says its new report on gender-affirming care proves that science doesn't support the care & that its risks are too great.
But the report doesn't really support that blanket statement. It found “sparse” to no evidence of harm and evidence about the benefits of gender-affirming care.

Administration condemns gender-affirming care for youth in report that finds “sparse” evidence of harm

President Trump and his administration are coming after Minnesota, threatening to cut off our federal funding unless we turn our backs on trans kids. This is bullying, plain and simple.
And today, April 22, I filed a lawsuit to stop them.

This week’s main story is about trans athletes, where the conversation around them is coming from, the nuances around competition and safety, and where it looks like things might be going. Full segment at the link in our bio.

This Bezos statement should appear as a disclaimer at the top of every single Washington Post page, similar to the asinine disclaimer now posted at the top of every CDC page that mentions LGBTQIA. Make your position clear. Let me see your face.
