My recurring nightmare is what gen ai can do to trans people.
Like, the terror of them using it to create their own justification is immense.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth.
Many complied and shut down their programs.
Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care.
And now, they just beat Trump in court.

Gavin Newsom is anti-trans and I will never, ever vote for him.
Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?
I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.
This seems kinda significant.

I wish it didn’t need:

- the death of over 20,000 children

Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane.
This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.
