Another name for this would be "pre-existing conditions," a way used to exclude disabled people from health care for decades in the US.

Understand, when you hear people talk about "rewarding the healthy" - these are policies that have a body count.

By my count there will only be one (1) trans character on all of the major networks and streaming services as of January 2026.

Buy something for Transgender Awareness Week.

No, I'm not justifying that further. If there's a week, you should be reading my weird ass queer books, that's one of them.

I regret to inform you that "Go for it king, do whatever you want forever" isn't how gender shakes out in everyday life, and that... matters. You can't structure a politics around self-expression in isolated queer enclaves. There isn't actually any place free of patriarchy's influence and burdens.

on monday the regime was going to revoke existing passports. yesterday they were going to allow all already-issued passports to remain valid til expiration. today it’s back to revocation. yet we’re called hysterical or wreckers for criticizing the politicians supporting these policies

A U.S.-drafted U.N. resolution endorsing President Donald Trump’s Gaza β€œpeace plan” passed in the Security Council on Nov. 17. At the center of the plan is a U.S./British-dominated governing body chaired by Trump.

This reminds me of something I've been noodling for a while

The times we're living in are perfect for superhero stories, but our favorite heroes can't address them because they're owned by one of two evil megacorps

(This thread will probably come off as disjointed; thinking this thru in real-time)

Feels like it should be bigger news that a journalist known for being loud about her investigations into banks/payment processors appears to be getting financially stonewalled by the entire industry unaminously right now.

The Truth About the Protests in Mexico A copycat protest funded and organized by billionaire far-right actors is not what the U.S. media would have you believe

Much of what happened in Mexico over the weekend stems from consistent attempts by wealthy elites and the U.S. to delegitimize President Claudia Shienbaum’s administration.

I'd advise American trans people to stay clear of GenderGP unless you absolutely have to

They have a reputation here in the UK of being awful. Low doses, AI to do prescriptions and when there's a fuck up (there usually is) AI is used to fix it

Its an awful service. Cash over care

There was a brief, shining moment when Teth Adam was trying to build an anti-imperialist coalition of metas including the Great Ten and Rocket Reds and it seemed like a good writer could take hold of it and make something. But no.

DC hasn't had any clue what to do with Adam since.
