A friend described the current Democratic response to the political moment “bringing a strongly worded letter to a knife fight” and I can tell that’s one of those phrases that’s going to be sticking

the answer to "why don't americans have..." and it's something so simple like national healthcare or feeding kids at school the answer is "bc Black people would also have it"
This is why America didn't get national health care back in the days of the Truman Administration, 1945-1953: white racists didn't want black Americans to get it.
After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them

This is a nightmare scenario for trans people. If language like this gets into an HHS funding bill that becomes law, pretty much every hospital and doctor's office that treats trans people of any age would stop doing so.
This is the most extreme anti-trans push yet.
This is the most extreme anti-trans push yet.
![For the last few years, the GOP has coalesced around an idea that would short-circuit essentially all trans health care in America: banning federal funds from going to businesses that provide health care specific to changing one's sex or gender identity, including hormones and surgeries. It would essentially signal to the private sector that if it wants federal dollars, it needs to stay away from sex-or gender-affirming care, and bow down to right-wing pundits who aim to, in their own words,
"eradicate" and "erase" this form of
health care.
Language in House Republicans' most recent funding bill for the Health and Human Services Department would do just that - ban money from any federal program to entities that do "social transitioning" or drugs and surgery for "gender dysphoria." Gender dysphoria is the specific diagnosis doctors use to justify those medical interventions. This legislation has not gotten a vote yet and would need to be reintroduced next Congress to be considered. But it has been a top priority for Republican lawmakers in the House, and Trump himself has promised he'd ask Congress "to permanently stop federal taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or pay for these [trans] procedures." (You can hear all his promises on trans health care in this short campaign video.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hf7ezrajxadu7v3tzcyij424/bafkreid3evqccjqsjbwtdleb4kkevl4nepvc3h7wornyv37q5po7swxsei@jpeg)

I’m not going to sit around for four years lamenting about everything that goes badly. There’s no point. Either we’re in this fight or we’re not. Focus on the battles we can fight and win, not the things that are beyond our control.
