Vanderbilt Will Stop Providing Gender-Affirming Surgeries to Trans Adults The hospital cited “operational limitations” for the decision.

Horrifying and also as predicted. This is genocidal shit. The only hospital in Tennessee that offered this kind of care. www.them.us/story/vander...

Your opposition to war can just be that war is evil. it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

No lie this was lowkey a really good one

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

James Baldwin

we are mere hours from Trump admin officials going on TV and talking about how women and LGBTQ people are oppressed in Iran and that's why we need to bomb them

meanwhile half the US has forced-birth laws in place and Kansas just revoked every trans person's drivers license

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Danny devito in always sunny stating "you would have to be a real low life piece of shit to be proud to be an American."

Good news: We won a victory in court to help salmon safely move past dams in the Columbia River Basin.

A federal court in Oregon ordered federal agencies to change operations of the Columbia Basin hydropower system in critical ways to help improve salmon survival.

I honestly think that this would officially set off the next Civil War if he messes with the election.

Mass horror at the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti has DHS’s budget at stake.

And yet in the past week, agents left a blind refugee to die alone.
And lied about it.

They pretended to be police looking for a missing child, to detain a college kid.
And lied about it.

What does this tell you?

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

If you're ever down just tell yourself facts, small things that you know to be true. For example one fact would be that you're alive, another fact would be that you have a body, regardless of the fact you choose to dwell on make it a small one that you're absolutely certain of.

I remember a time when I thought the world of myself, and of my friends, then things started to not go my way, things started to not go my friend's way either, and all of a sudden, all of our good feelings just went away.

I remember a time when I was happy, maybe not happy, but carefree, so to speak, on top of the world maybe, -hopeful- yeah, that's the word, hopeful.

If you aren’t Jewish and don’t get how this is antisemitic, I’ll do a short TLDR;

Jews sometimes refer to gentiles as goy or goyim. That’s not a slur, even if it’s derogatory.

If you’re a gentile saying it, specifically self-deferentially or defiantly , it’s a guaranteed Nazi dogwhistle.

The other thing is I've had multiple facebooks because I went through a period where I had to shed my friend group because they were part of a literal satanic cult, I might talk about that one day or I might not because it's actually kind of fucking scary but anyway it did inspire me to write a bit.

I can't believe Facebook is still fucking thing, I went on that shit hole out of nostalgia and I am really horrified by how ignorant I was. My last post was from 2016.

One of Trump’s cruelest policies yet has received almost zero attention America’s slaughterhouses could become even more dangerous for workers and animals.

The USDA proposed a rule to allow meat plants for pork and poultry to increase the speed of the kills lines that process chicken, turkey, and pork. While simultaneously relaxing rules for prevention of salmonella. The higher speed w/o increased staffing will cause more injury and sloppy processing.

Kat Abughazaleh catches Biss in a lie.

Kat Abughazaleh: "Last night at the SOTU would they [elected Democrats] have listened to Hakeem Jeffries and watched or stood aside or gotten kicked out like Al Green did?"

Kat Abughazaleh: "Democrats are still operating as if the only levers of power are legislation and votes and conversations behind closed doors. We need to talk seriously about general strikes about breaking quorum about exploiting parliamentary procedure."

Here is a thread of Kat highlights from the FOX32 IL-9 Democratic debate.
Kat Abughazaleh: "I do want to issue a little correction. As much as I respect the term of influencer, I'm a researcher and journalist."

It looks like there's some good queer communities in Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Boulder, and Pueblo if people are looking to relocate to Colorado.

Important thread. And this is why we can’t just look the other way with Newsom’s “reaching across the aisle” with transphobia.

I really hate anti-trans politicians, and I especially hate it because it was a culture war issue where we were clearly winning and then a bunch of nominally liberal people at the Times and the Atlantic decided to reverse that and they did.

''Ermmm it's unprofessional to talk about ''politics'', you'll lose followers!''

Oh shit my bad, here let me say this instead-
Fuck ICE
Fuck MAGA
Free Palestine
Trans rights
Black lives matter

I could give two fucks if people unfollow, i'm not here to surround myself by bigots.
