This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.
Banksyβs latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.
We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.
In the last week alone, Rush University Medical Center, UChicago Medical, and Children's National announced closures of their gender affirming care programs.
Today, Kaiser Permanente announced a pause on surgeries and Connecticut Children's Medical Center announced the closure of their program.
Let's do a roundup of all the letters from different professional sectors objecting to the supreme court ruling & the EHRC's bathroom ban, and promising to defend trans people in their spaces!
For anyone feeling alone in this, look at how many people will stand with us:
ultimately the question is not is Donald Trump popular but can you organize the anger against him in a way that matters

Isnβt it interesting how protests are peaceful when there arenβt a bunch of cops in riot gearβ¦ or white supremacist militia groups lurking around?

Itβs weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything Iβve seen in my life. Itβs not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

Solar and wind growth in China has ramped up to 1400 GW of installed capacity.
The news getting you down? I invite you to stare at this chart of solar and wind deployed capacity in China.
They blew past their ambitious 2030 target... last July.
from my @heatmap.news story tonight:
emails from the fish and wildlife serviceβs migratory bird protection office now all apparently have boilerplate language sayingβ¦
they are not allowed to talk to wind companies.
