Ooof

That’s a “no” from me, man.

Bye, AP.

The same way you don't want people bombing you and your loved ones is the same exact thing that other people feel where they live.

4. Under his interpretation, therapists, counselors, psychologists and social workers who provide gender-affirming mental health care would be barred from receiving any public funding, including Medicaid, and could face revocation of their licenses and criminal penalties.

3. Under the new interpretation, any therapist in the state could find their license pulled, lose the ability to take Medicaid dollars, or even risk child abuse charges if they provide gender-affirming care, according to the seven-page legal opinion released alongside the press release.

TORNEY GEN THLTEXAS KEN PAXΤΟΝ ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 2, 2026 www.texasattorneygeneral.gov Communications@oag.texas.gov Attorney General Ken Paxton Issues Landmark Legal Opinion Declaring It Illegal for Mental Health Providers to "Transition" Texas Kids AUSTIN - Attorney General Ken Paxton has issued a legal opinion declaring that the prohibitions under S.B. 14 making it illegal for health care providers to "transition" kids does apply to "mental health care providers" licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. The opinion notes that the Council's licensees constitute health care providers under the law, which makes clear that they are governed by state law barring funds going to those who facilitate the prohibited "transition" procedures. Licensees are defined as "health care providers" in this sense for good reason, as the path to kids being "transitioned" often starts with unethical indoctrination by activists providing mental "health care" designed to confuse children about their gender. Thus, the Legislature's prohibition on those unlawfully "transitioning" our kids which covers not only any person or entity who "provides" medical interventions, but also an individual or entity who "facilitates" medical interventions certainly applies to licensed mental health care providers. "Any radical facilitating the 'transitioning' of our kids is committing child abuse," said Attorney General Paxton. "The law is clear that these radical procedures are illegal and in no world should Texans' tax dollars be used to permanently harm children. This opinion should send a clear warning there will be consequences for any medical professional, whether a doctor or a therapist, who is illegally 'transitioning' Texas kids." The opinion's summary states: "Any licensee that facilitates the provision of unlawful procedures or treatments that aim to transition a child's sex are thus forbidden from receiving public money in support of those e…

2. AG Paxton of Texas announced a new interpretation of state law that would extend the state's ban on gender-affirming care for minors to mental health providers, declaring that any therapist who affirms a trans youth's identity is "facilitating" illegal treatment and committing child abuse.

Oklahoma often follows Texas. This is why my family will have to flee in the next few years and help others evacuate too.

Julia is standing in front of her. She is wearing a denim dress with an embroidered bib, a light blue puffy coat, and her dark brown hair is in pigtails.

Baby Talia lies on a brown mattress with her head on a blue pillow. She is wearing a fuzzy white zip up pajamas with a hood and has a white headband with a bow. She is looking at her sister three-year-old Julia, who is sitting next to her looking at the camera. Julia is wearing a green and blue plaid dress with a white collar, white stockings, and her dark brown hair is pulled back into two pigtails.

The crossings are closed — we are trapped without food or medicine…my kids fall asleep to fear and wake up to hunger.

I’m not asking for comfort, only a small meal to ease their hunger and protect their dignity.

My brother Waseem has been quietly living with dental pain for a long time.
He rarely complains, but I can see it when he tries to speak and some letters don’t come out clearly.
Pain should not be part of a child’s daily life.
We want to begin his dental restoration treatment as soon as we can,,,,

We are so cold 💔😭

Please help Mahmoud's family survive Israel's genocide. Mahmoud is caring for his sister's orphaned children, who are starving, sick, & in urgent need:

Please send even $5 to support Amal’s family.

They’ve been kicked off BlueSky so many times that they’ve stopped making accounts. Every account I’ve made to share their stories has been banned.

They need medicines, food, & vitamins. Coats are rising bc of US attacks on Iran.

Please donate!

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

This logic played a substantial role in the US-Mexico War of 1846-8: the US imagined it was “liberating” Mexico from despotism and could not understand the opposition of the Mexican people to their invasion

And yes, the Iranian regime is violent and oppressive, and yet, I believe that the US/Israel/West’s intentions are not benign and it is naive and ahistorical to believe otherwise

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

Mohammed was unable to be active on Bluesky today as he has high blood pressure, but he urgently needs help in raising funds for little Jamal’s diabetes and asthma treatment. Please continue to give if you can and share:

I forgot that I had another piece available!
Hammam called it first, so this is for him and Abood -he is the real artist, btw, you should check out his portraits!
Send £25 their way, reply here, and I will send you this as a thank you.
UK only -but please, do hurry!

If you've grown up having to deal with the weirdest and most unsettling of church goers (often white and republican, lets not mince words) you know how true this is. Christian Nationalism is just that mind bending and dangerous. Its basically no different from a turbo cult but now they have power

Through all of this horror we're also in the background and almost completely forgotten at this point still holding the president of Venezuela hostage because this is empire with the mask of human rights ripped off

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Worms in food, poor medical care, lights on 24/7: Families tell of life in Texas detention center When ICE officers in Minneapolis detained a 5-year-old boy and his father last month and sent them to a Texas detention center, many Americans were alarmed.

There’s a reason the children being held captive at Dilley have been heard screaming “let us out”.

One girl tried to kill herself.

Many stop eating.

Little Liam Ramos’s health declined in a matter of days.

A toddler ended up in the ICU.

Close the camp. Now.

Another picture of him there, but looking at his leg with pain expression.

🚨From Gaza, we appeal to everyone's humanity. My brother is disabled, autistic, and his leg is broken. He needs surgery to fix it with a metal plate. Abood is in pain, screaming, can't sleep😭💔
We urgently need €200 to complete my brother's treatment

Agreed! 🫂

Bc of the war in the Middle East, people are now desperately scrambling for goods in Gaza. The specter of famine haunts us, and we fear it, and we fear anything that could cause a crisis. I hope this planet can live in peace. Everyone loses in war. I wish peace for all.

Help displaced families in Mawasi Make a great change for the better: help relieve the suffering of displaced families in Mawasi, Gaza, who are facing hunger, thirst, and heat.

A beloved friend of the giving circle helps their neighbors in Mawasi with food parcels and more. This is especially urgent with the occupation manufacturing famine during Ramadan. These are families with truly no lifelines.
