This is exactly what it sounds like: a plan to implement tapering and discontinuation of HRT for any trans person in prison, regardless of how long they've been on it or what surgeries they've had.
This is medical torture, and will kill people.

hot take: if you're an American, this is not a nuanced issue. you do not need to "listen to Iranian voices" here. you need to tell your leaders to stop bombing a country and killing people. that's literally it.

WPD claims to be down some like 60 officers.
They still have plenty of work time to harass unhoused folks under the Green St. bridge, even when it is actively snowing.
Seems to me they still have more officers than they need.

the fecklessness of establishment Dems comes from the fact that they agree with much of what Trump is doing.
they want aggressive immigration enforcement. they want to blow shit up in Iran.
for them, Trump is a sin eater who's brashly doing what they've been trying to do politely for a generation
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city β you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders.Β You will be safe here.
