Wow usually these are all so relatable...but this one is just extra relatable, I feel so called out 😹

I recommend just not paying it tbh, it will just go to collections and eventually be forgotten or you can negotiate for it to be less, you also can ask hospital for itemized receipt and sometimes it will go down.

Iowa Legislature Votes to Strip Trans People From Civil Rights Protections The bill will now go to the Governor for a final signature, and will mark the first state to strip any group from a civil rights act.

1. Today, the Iowa Legislature shamefully stripped transgender people from the State Civil Rights Act.

It becomes the first state to ever strip any group from a civil rights act.

There were powerful speeches, and huge protets.

Unfortunately I don't think states will do that even if things get really bad...

Oh my god.

They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service.

"Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights"

WOW.

At this point, there are only two options:

A) Elon is so dishonest that he is willing to peddle obvious lies to score PR points

B) Elon really is this stupid

I've seen some already claim it would be just as bad under Harris.

Well I think quite a few of them were fake and meant to stir ideological leftists up to not vote, or vote trump.

State Department Travel Safety Website Changes "LGBTQI+ Travelers" to "LGB Travelers" The change is an attempt to insert a divide in the LGBTQIA+ community by the Trump administration, and to erase transgender people from any consideration or recognition.

1. The state department has removed transgender people from its website and just reads "LGB Travelers," as reported by a number of journalists.

However, on further investigation, it is also removing trans-specific directions for individual countries.

If your child has lost care due to hospitals closing or stopping care, PLEASE contact Chase Strangio immediately.

I truly believe the only chance we have is through protests at hospitals that are complying with executive orders in advance.

These hospitals are attempting to detransition patients or deny transition to new ones because they are scared of Trump.

DC Children's Hospital has just contacted me to tell me my reporting is "inaccurate" that they have stopped providing gender affirming care.

How is it inaccurate?

They still provide "mental healthcare."

Read my response.

A tweet from Right Wing Watch ( @RightWingWatch ) reads: 'Father Calvin Robinson finished his remarks at the National Pro-Life Summit by throwing an Elon Musk salute, much to the delight of the crowd.' Below this, there is an image of Father Calvin Robinson standing in front of a backdrop that reads 'NATIONAL PRO-LIFE SUMMIT.' He is wearing clerical attire and is raising his right arm in a salute while his left hand rests on his chest.

They think this is a joke. It’s really really not. https://buff.ly/4hwGjuI

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.

Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.

Speaking of the handmaiden/fash nexus, here’s Ivanka Trump and her daughter today in outfits that could have been pulled from “The Handmaid's Tale” series:

It's so depressing what's happening. 😭

This Week in Wins looks back on a leader who kept delivering until the very end. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/week-progressive-wins-january-19

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

They stand only for whatever Trump says.

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

Oh, come on! At the inauguration? Are you f*cking ketamine with this?

In fairness the resulting fire and explosion might have set off the sprinklers.

Heartless. Cruel.

Here’s more.

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

Survivorship bias, there are definitely those who didn't survive 2016 to 2020.

This is what gets me that this genocide which isn't even the biggest recently and is more complicated is getting so much more attention than others, that are more obviously black and white and change would likely be easier.

Current Population of Gaza Is 200k Lower Than Projected 2.3 Million, UN Finds The sharp decline is reflective of the speed and brutality of Israel’s genocidal siege and ethnic cleansing.

This seems to be a estimate that hasn't taken the conflict into account. Is a source I find that supposedly measures the difference, not here to give my opinion on the conflict, just to share additional sources.
