Boston Children's Hospital says it won't be bullied into abandoning trans youth - LGBTQ Nation
The hospital has faced bomb threats, hate campaigns, and threats to funding over the years but has never wavered in supporting gender-affirming care.
"We are here to affirm, uplift, and advocate for transgender and gender diverse youth...and we remain committed to doing all we can to support their care and well-being.β

I get it guys, coded eugenics are real, but strategically "let's take down the girl all the boys are obsessed with" is probably less of a winner than "let's stop the hoods in street disappearing people".
btw, I do think the media is actually blowing the actual cancelling out of proportion as well.

have you listened to the Power Trip podcast? I was shocked by it. I love psychedelics as much as the next person, but the people behind the therapy are often quite terrible. I strongly recommend it for a fuller picture.

Genocide
Debate over whether thereβs a genocide in Gaza has special resonance when your family was a victim of the crime that gave the world the term.
Wild. The founder of J-Street.
It'll be interesting to see if this leads to shaming of J-Street. A lot of folks don't know JVP used to be liberal Zionist, till ADL/AIPAC called them anti-semitic radicals anyway. And JVP was like, well then fuck Zionism.

Regular people are way more anti-genocide/pro-humanity than billionaires and media elites.
That makes the ballot box actually a great place to talk about the issue. Sure, AIPAC was able to take out some progressive legislators with big money, but they did it by NOT talking about the issue.

Well, this is among the more disheartening moments of Trump 2. When AOC votes for continuing to fund genocide, then claims we're all too stupid to understand what solidarity should look like, even as fellow squad members vote the other way. All for what? Future presidential ambitions?

Congresswoman, this is extremely disheartening. It's one thing to vote pragmatism over principle, another to gaslight the people looking to you for hope in dark times by claiming we fell for "misinformation". If it's "misinformation" why did Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar, and Summer Lee vote for it?

@aoc.bsky.social Could you please explain to the public why you would strike down a bill meant to cut military funding to Israel? We've talked about this - Israel and Netonyahu absolutely SUCK. We should not be funding any of their BS, or their genocide.

The funny thing is the individual words are practically synonyms.
Yea, I mean I hate talking about companies being "woke" or "virtual signalling" but if there is one industry where liberal language runs way ahead of actual systemic changes, mostly to provide cover for bad behavior, it's tech.

Well, I googled. I advanced searched her twitter. Couldn't find any recommendations. All I learned was that her statement that "maybe genocide is bad but leftists are worse and probably antisemitic" is largely in line with what she has said in the past.
