More than two years ago, Utah Republicans commissioned a study on gender-affirming care for youth. It just came back, and the conclusion is unambiguous: full recommendation in support of gender-affirming care.

Utah study on trans youth care extremely inconvenient for politicians who ordered it
The state's ban on gender-affirming pediatric care "cannot be justified" by science, a two-year review concluded.

Logan Rozos’s remarks span 80 seconds & comprise a mere 159 words.
But because those words condemn genocide & call for justice, NYU is denying him his diploma, seeking further punishment, & publicly condemning him.
This is backwards.

While Gavin Newsom, governor of a state Trump lost by 20 points, is throwing marginalized communities under the bus to pander for an ill-fated presidential bid, Andy Beshear, governor of a state Trump won by 30 points, is going out of his way to defend marginalized communities as a moral imperative.

If you want to use a picture of people holding hands to support your zionist petition, maybe don't use an AI generated image of multiple races doing so because your life is too white-washed to get the real thing.
You're just helping to prove that zionism is racism.

The cognitive dissonance used to weaponize antisemitism in defense of Isreal's actions is insulting. How are we as a collective Jewish people not seeing this? Why are we not ALL calling this out?

Trump is doing his best to create division and discord between Muslims and Jews, and joining him is a sustained campaign of propaganda.
Here I prove that Muslims and Jews have had a Long history of peace together—one we must revive on the tenets of justice.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.
Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.

I'm not short (I'm 5'7"). But I am short for my family.
For context, I'm only in the past 3-4 years the same height as my 68-year-old mother, who is shrinking. My siblings and dad are all 6' or taller. My younger brother has been taller than me since we were 10 and 8.
I have a complex.
