CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

More than two years ago, Utah Republicans commissioned a study on gender-affirming care for youth. It just came back, and the conclusion is unambiguous: full recommendation in support of gender-affirming care. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Utah study on trans youth care extremely inconvenient for politicians who ordered it

The state's ban on gender-affirming pediatric care "cannot be justified" by science, a two-year review concluded.

This isn't correct. I just googled this number...it seems to be the Canadian number for the Trans Lifeline here in the US. So it's actually a number for Canadian trans and nonbinary folks to call to get help from a US org! Please spread the word. The Trans Lifeline doesn't need to be innundated.

1. I am raising the alarm: If you are a transgender adult, your care is under threat by President Trump. You should prepare for severe supply disruptions and policies that amount to potential bans. The latest CMS letter indicates an expansion to target adults. Subscribe to support my reporting.

The Trump Administration Threat To Transgender Adult Care Is Growing At Lightning Speed

Many transgender adults have wondered when their care would be banned by the Trump administration. Now, we are seeing the first vectors to do so.

The tide is changing in Montana! Today, 17 Republicans joined with democrats to defeat another anti-trans bill in the MT house. Additionally, Republicans joined democrats to kill a "forced outing" bill in House Education yesterday. That's 2/2 in defeating anti trans bills this week!

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

Doesn’t take a detective to uncover that Republicans are enacting Project 2025 – just last night they began dismantling the Dept. of Education. Everything points to them misusing the Comstock Act to ban abortion even in states where it’s legal. Today, I’m re-introducing a bill to stop them.

Text: This is what Heritage thinks a GOP president should do, as aid out in Project 2025: reviving the nineteenth-century Comstock Act as a federal (abortion) ban.

I wish most lawmakers understood that the best way to communicate with young voters is not "speaking their language." Young voters don't want pandering. They want authentic strength on the issues important to them. You don't have to "speak Gen-Z." Just be yourself and show that you give a damn.
