Health workers decry hasty House bills to ban gender-affirming care for children: ‘They hurt people’ Two bills mark the first time Congress has voted over national care bans and an escalation of anti-trans rhetoric

Thank you for standing up @bulletproofpride.bsky.social

“This is dangerous. They say that it’s to protect children, but they’re trying to prevent people from getting care that actually lowers the rate of suicide for trans youth and trans people in general.”

POV: You've tweeted about trans kids more than you've passed bills. Let's make sure her final act is as successful as her legislative record, a flop. Call your Reps and demand they vote NO on H.R. 3492 and H.R. 498, MTG and Crenshaw's transphobic bills. Call (202) 224-3121.

The horrific tragedy at Brown University is the 389th mass shooting this year and the 230th gun incident on school grounds so far this year.

This is not normal and we don't have to live this way.

Police scanner shows panicked response to Villanova shooting ‘hoax’ “Active shooter! Villanova University! Scarpa Hall!” an officer chirped across the radio. Officials later determined it was an act of swatting, a fake emergency called in to induce panic.

Late Thursday afternoon, police rushed to Villanova University over a report of an active shooter — later determined to be a hoax — searching for someone who did not exist and at one point misidentifying a victim of a gunshot wound who had not been shot, according to police scanner recordings.

Villanova University says active shooter report was a 'cruel hoax' "Mercifully, no one was injured, and we now know that it was a cruel hoax," Villanova President Rev. Peter Donohue said in a statement to the school community.

Yes, Villanova was a hoax. But students still ran for their lives, still barricaded their doors, still texted loved ones what they thought might be their last words.

The students were well-trained in exactly what to do.

This is what America forces on our kids. No other country lives like this.

According to Reuters, “The Trump administration has terminated more than half of all federal funding for gun violence prevention programs in the U.S., cutting $158 million in grants.”

This comes less than 48 hours after the shootings in New York, Nevada, Georgia, among others.

We are outraged.

Though we don’t know if this shooting was targeted or not, violence in and around our communities makes spaces like Stonewall feel more dangerous to go to, and that is a reality no one should ever have to face.

We just heard about the shooting in Greenwich Village in New York. We are offering our support to the community impacted tonight.

A few blocks away from the Stonewall Inn & NYC Pride, everyone deserves to have a safe space without the fear of gun violence, especially in the LGBTQIA+ community.

On college campuses, advancing autocracy threatens our right to speak & organize freely, threatens education & research funding, and our most vulnerable students.

In this critical moment, students have the opportunity to play a central role in the anti-authoritarian movement.

Illinois would benefit greatly from a true safe storage law that requires all firearms to be securely locked up when not in use. SB8 is not that bill. SB8 would not even apply to the 70% of Illinois households that don't have minor children. #needsimprovement 😐
