A lot of "adult content" seems to just be suggestive stuff. So much mislabeling…

I get why this is the case, but it’s so wild that one million Americans died of COVID because of Trump’s handling of the pandemic, and it’s not even remotely an issue in this election. What a country!

Both the government and the media have done a good job of talking Cass up as a definitive, impartial overview of trans healthcare. It is neither. More young people will die as their very identity is demonised, and they're denied appropriate care. I DGAF that Cass's retirement has been spoiled.

Anyway, the Yale report, along with the numerous other critiques of the Cass report, illustrate how it *had to be* deeply flawed in order to align with the state’s anti-trans dogma. This wasn’t a mistake: it made a mockery of science in order to harm trans kids law.yale.edu/yls-today/ne...

I will repeat myself. In the absence of a ceasefire deal *this summer*, the displacement of close to two million Palestinians in Gaza (and beyond it) could very likely become permanent ethnic cleansing. Just like it happened in 1948.

Project 2025 includes the call to “outlaw” porn. If you want to understand what they mean by that? Look to what these groups are already fighting “porn,” and their connections to anti-gender movements outside the US. I start that analysis here:

If you live in N. America, food you eat is probably grown in the orange “major heat risk” strip in California's Central Valley. The heat threatens crops, farmworkers & our entire food system. This is our planet at 1.2 degrees of warming yet California is STILL approving new oil wells. #ClimateSky 🔌💡

Please, Americans, get yourselves together. Hopelessness is the luxury of your privilege. Hopelessness is not something those who are in actual dire straights prioritize. This user is enduring genocide surrounded by intense bombing constantly, expressing continued hope for himself. Do the same.

I swear, "Judeo-Christian" is just a token phrase to deflect criticism from accusations of anti-Semitism, when I, a Jew, actually think it is anti-Semitic because it's Christians dictating Judaism.

Except It's a Christian tradition, not a Jewish tradition. Judaism takes Saturday off. Christians take Sunday off. Once again, Christians think they speak for Jews.
