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 just saw a website with a list of 20,000+ people who posted disallowed opinions about Charlie Kirk alongside the names of their employers.
Many of the posts aren't even inflammatory, but they were just deemed unacceptable by people in red hats.

Side note: People are getting fired from jobs that must watch videos annually about harassment, racism, and cultural awareness, but aren't allowed to say the hate Kirk spewed was unacceptable. Kirk wouldn't have been allowed to work at these places based on his own behavior. Weird

I also rolled my eyes at Trump ordering flags to be lowered half mast for Charlie Kirk.
Let me get this straight. He wouldn't lower the flags for John McCain, an actual WAR HERO, but he'll lower the flags for THIS GUY???
In the next decade or two, nobody is gonna remember who the fuck Charlie was.

🖤Remembering how in the 80s-90s, there was a massive effort to dissuade anyone from using condoms because the campaigners believed "the right people were dying" from HIV/AIDS
same shit with COVID repeating, and we'll see it again with the next pandemic in 10-30 years

Pandemics, eugenics and fascism go hand in hand.
The moment people accepted the narrative that “only the vulnerable” had to worry about covid, they ceded considerable ground to fascists.
They effectively “othered” an entire class of people.
It may start with the disabled, it won’t end with us

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'
my kingdom for anyone on the “dems should take culturally moderate positions” to explain what this actually means in practice? www.thebulwark.com/p/hard-calls...
The Hard Calls Dems Must Make to Regain Power
Democrats want to win over more moderate voters. But are they willing to adopt moderate positions?

Gasp, Israel lied about executing aid workers? The genocide nation lied? The human rights violation nation that massacred babies in respirators lied? The war crime nation that massacres journalists to hide the truth lied? The apartheid nation lied?
No way, who could've seen this coming.
