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.

Out here in York, PA where @sbworkersunited.org strikers are BLOCKADING the largest Starbucks distribution center in the country to demand a fair contract!!

"Free press"
"Free speech"
But sure, let's talk about "Venezuelan propaganda"

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.

BBC linking to an anti trans group in this article is typical.

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.

cis people would be non functional having their rights up in the air and changing on a daily basis like this. but we’re expected to go on as if nothing’s happening, and not even mention it

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

When you saw only one set of boot prints in the snow, thats when I carried you, Comrade.

I lost a job for calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi, but this is cool.

EXCLUSIVE: Forced Detransitions ‘Nearly Toppled’ Medical Unit in Georgia Prison During Care Ban — Assigned In the midst of a lawsuit, a Georgia prison resumes gender affirming care for trans inmates.

EXCLUSIVE: A forced detransition policy had disastrous effects in one Georgia prison, according to the manager of the medical unit there.

Palestinians reject U.S.–backed U.N. plan: ‘A new form of occupation’ – Struggle – La Lucha A Palestinian child raises the flag over the ruins of his home — a reminder that no imposed plan can extinguish the struggle for self-determination. A U.S.-draf

A U.S.-drafted U.N. resolution endorsing President Donald Trump’s Gaza “peace 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.

Palestinians responded: This is not peace — it’s a blueprint for foreign control.

Fingers crossed this book comes to be

So I heard it's 'Transgressive Awareness Week'... finally!

Comrades, friends, and family gathered in San Diego to honor the life of Bob McCubbin, a lifelong revolutionary who dedicated over 60 years to the struggle for socialism and liberation. Bob was a pioneering theorist of LGBTQIA+ liberation and a tireless organizer.

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.

People hate Nazis, yes.

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

DEATH TO THE BBC

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.
