1. Another anti-trans bill has now been added to the congressional calendar this week.
Following MTG's total felony trans youth care ban, Dan Crenshaw's Medicaid trans youth ban will be heard.
Though it is unlikely to get through the Senate, it will be a major posturing vote for congressmembers.

Heads up, the fight is not over with respect to the trans care medicaid amendment. Marjorie Taylor Greene has reintroduced it on the House side. Call your house reps now and tell them not to approve it. Even republicans, especially moderate Republicans.

The Senate removed it this morning and the parliamentarian disqualified the provision from reconciliation

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids.
Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED.
Words matter here.
He was MURDERED.
it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man.
Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

Every citizen in the USA should be obliged to read or watch
The Handmaid's Tale.
Now.
Oh. Damn it. It's already banned in parts of the USA.
When a book becomes alive. Too quick.
It seems it's already too late for a rising. But I do hope I am wrong.

I must say I no longer believe that this is reminiscent of the Nazi playbook, I believe they’re using the Nazi playbook - offshore extermination and concentration camps, targeting people on basis of race and manufactured legality, academic onslaught, media, gender policing it’s all there.

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing.
Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.
