If trans kids can’t get hormone blockers, their bodies change permanently in ways that are profoundly disturbing to them. It isn’t a “they can decide when they’re grownups” situation. The blockers are what ALLOW them to decide later. Keeping blockers from trans kids is a cruel torture.

"It is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel. Our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state."

I quite frankly don't know how to speak to people who call themselves Democrats + who've worked their entire lives in the Arts + yet continue to muck about with AI thinking it doesn't make them look like unethical pigs (and I just realized you can put Twitter into that sentence where AI is and same)

So Blue Sky is turning out to have a policy of silencing transgender posts and transgender accounts.
So - for the record: J.K. Rowling is a hate filled monster. TERFS are not feminists, and the "LGBT needs to drop the T" people are traitors to the struggle for human rights.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

"[U]nlike ... Andrew Cuomo—the serially accused sexual predator and current legal counsel to war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu—Mamdani wasn't backed by billionaires or towering figures of the Democratic establishment like former President Bill Clinton (also a serially accused sexual predator)."
If Democrats didn’t loathe their own base, they would see Mamdani as an opportunity, as they struggle to "appeal to anyone beyond Liz Cheney and a handful of geriatric MSNBC viewers who love the status quo but think Donald Trump is a little mean": @kylietcheung.bsky.social for @prismreports.org

As young, diverse voters rally behind Zohran Mamdani’s bold agenda, Democrats and Zionists respond with old tactics of performative victimhood and racism

Do not ever do this under any circumstances. You will be held to the actual contract, not the AI summary, and the AI summary has no way of knowing which terms you might personally care about or have questions about. Dooooo notttttt dooooo thissssss.
I just received a contract on Docusign for review and signing, and it offered to give me an AI-generated summary that I could read instead to save time.
That's AN AI-GENERATED SUMMARY ***OF A CONTRACT***, in case you need to let that sink in.

There is a type of liberal/left bleakness that manifests itself in a compulsion to announce that nothing that doesn't fix everything means anything. The people who feel the need to keep expressing that are victims of our time (and this medium). But they are also ultimately enemies of improvement. >
