now please, and i’m so serious: take that anger and go buy some masks to wear in public indoor spaces so everyone knows how much you don’t fuck with eugenics. if you need low cost or free masks, or just don’t know where to start, check out covidactionmap.org and maskbloc.org for groups near you.

The ban on gender affirming care for trans kids that the Court upheld as constitutional today in Skrmetti is so obviously *un*constitutional that John Roberts basically just writes 20something pages of buffoonery ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/skrme...

Today is a particularly good day to support trans mutual aid as a concrete way to fight back against the fuckers trying to take their healthcare and other rights away. 🧵 of a few groups, campaigns, and individuals you can donate to:

This week on Live Like the World is Dying, @jamesstout.bsky.social and Miriam talk about how to stay safe with danger all around. They talk health and safety basics for protests like security culture, protective gear, first-aid kits, and dangers like projectiles, tear gas, and pepper spray.(1/2)

this anti-surveillance protesting and direct action guide that I helped to organize and create in 2020 is still as relevant as ever, there's a plethora of tips for reducing risk before, during, and after actions, please use it to try to be safer. full site with resources: maskon.zone
An orange and brown gradient graphic that reads:

"QUESTIONS TO ASK: ANTI-SURVEILLANCE PROTEST TOOLKIT

-Will posting this help more than it will harm other people, particularly Black folks on the frontlines?

-Can I do something more helpful with this information/photo/video than post it on my account?

-Is this photo beneffiting me, my "clout," my career, or the movement & activists at the forefront? 

-Am I putting someone at risk?

Don't treat this as a spectacle rather than a real movement and struggle."

Kinda worried about this not gonna lie, since it’s the same tactic used in Masterpiece Cake Shop which then led to the 303 Creative ruling which probably allows the precedent for this suit to be successful.

Opinion | Trump's message to trans people is clear: Detransition, or potentially die
My question to everyone reading this is: When is enough enough?

I know many people my age still have a lot of nostalgia around Harry Potter and might be tempted to watch the new HBO TV series. Please, I'm begging you, do not tune in. J.K. Rowling is singularly motivated. The new Harry Potter series is a cash cow intended to fund anti-trans bigotry.

I just want people in media and publishing to be safe and like any other industry it's a hot mess of institutions protecting serially abusive and harmful people for basically no good reason other than men in power looooove to do that shit

I just think it's so beautiful and sweet that you can out a serial abuser who personally harmed you and many others and instead of getting fired, the premier trade mag in publishing promotes him and gives him even more power... boys clubs that protect and defend violence are so cute huh

Utah Republicans accidently did an honest scientific and medical review of the evidence behind youth gender care instead of the overtly political reports done by the UK government and federal HHS.

Seeing a lot of confusion about the budget's provisions on trans care--it would strip Medicaid funds for trans care (which is awful enough) but it would NOT prohibit private insurers from providing coverage for trans care. It actually does something far more narrow and wonkier

When I talk about the importance of granting students accommodations WITHOUT relying on formal paperwork this is why it matters. It is DANGEROUS for some people to have diagnoses on their medical records. 1/3

It was never about the law
"Indeed, a White House official told The Free Press that the basis for targeting Khalil is being used as a blueprint for investigations of other students. Khalil is a "threat to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States," said the official, noting that this calculation was the driving force behind the arrest. "The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law," said the official."
