The Transgender “Issue” Is Not a Distraction for Democrats It’s an opportunity to speak clearly about human rights and morality. Follow the facts and the Golden Rule.

“It’s possible, even probable, that Trump is interested in the issue as an instrument for bludgeoning Democrats…But Democrats don’t have to make it easy. There’s no reason for them to fuel the MAGA fires by overthinking, underreacting, and avoiding confrontation.”

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.

Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

If that thing guts Social Security , I would like a lump sum payment please. Every cent that the government has taken out of my paychecks for the last several decades, plus interest. That’s MY money.

This is a tough read, fellow Americans, but this is the cruelty we're doing to people who have no criminal records.

I have made a terrible mistake

Can't get through to either @durbin.senate.gov or @duckworth.senate.gov.
Dear Senators Duckworth and Durbin:
Please make a public statement confirming that you'll be doing the right thing and voting NO ON CLOTURE.
Thank you.

Putanesca-style sheet pan salmon from Ottolenghi's COMFORT is what's for dinner

Close enough 🤣 Whatever you find, though, the cheesemonger says let come up to room temp and it will be even better.

Whatever cheese you like best! Or: Rogue River Blue if you like blue, Willoughby if you like a Washed Rind, La Tur (kind of like brie) or cheese whiz straight from the can if you're feelin' it

My story "Last Bloom on the Sage," (along with a lot of other really great stories from the antho Fungi) was republished by Brazilian imprint Macabra Darkside. Thanks @orringrey.com and @silviamg.bsky.social for the book that keeps going!
