Just because POTUS says there are only 2 genders does not make it a fact.
Science shows that gender is a spectrum. You are wonderfully made exactly as you understand yourself to be.

My FB feed is so full of misinformation from"liberal" sources at the moment. I'm hoping we all settle down a bit, soon, so we can get down to the serious work of resistance. We (i.e. those who see our democracy in serious danger) need to focus on responding to the very real threats.

Three things that remain true, no matter what Trump does:
1) Trans people have as much right to express their identities with dignity as anyone else.
2) Immigrants are awesome, create wealth, and make our culture better.
3) Trade with people around the world enriches us, and not just financially.

This kind of good government policy that actually matters in the lives of voters rarely if ever gets attention in the media and when it kicks in, the beneficiaries rarely know why it happened or who to thank, which is how you end up w/the election result in November 🙃
Starting TODAY, a key provision of the Inflation Reduction Act goes into effect: Limiting annual out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs to $2,000 for Medicare beneficiaries.
19 million people are expected to save an average of $400 each.

This is spot on.
So basically the Trump Admin’s immigration policy is to increase the number of people from other countries who come in and take high-skilled, high paying American jobs, while deporting everyone else doing physically grueling jobs for shit wages?

It appears that the person who ratted out this 20-year old Texas abortion patient to the cops was the man who impregnated her, which leads me to my sad but essential reminder: if you are having an abortion in a ban state, tell as few people as possible, and importantly, do not tell your boyfriend.
