Do we need to create some kind of Underground Railroad so we can get these people to places where they can get appropriate healthcare? Do we need to do the same for women who live in states with anti-abortion laws?
Ta, Crip Dyke. Our FQHC is welcoming to trans people, but that makes it an outlier in The South Bronx. Between the so-called conservative Catholics and the evangelicals who have made huge inroads among the Hispanics, it's not a good place. IMHO, that makes it a bad place for every human, because trans rights are human rights. Anything less is not acceptable.
It really blows my mind how quickly support for transgender rights flipped on a dime.
One day there was the NC bathroom bill which caused nationwide outrage, brought on economic boycotts of the state and cost Pat McCrory his job as governor. It wasn’t everything transgenders deserve, but at least it was steady and tangible progress.
Then the next day the whole nation seemed to just say “meh, never mind, let’s elect Donald Trump twice.”
>University of Michigan, using data from 2006 to 2018, found that non-binary emergency room patients were much more likely to be admitted to the hospital than cis patients and those admissions were more likely to be related to chronic conditions.
Holy fuck I'm a point in that data! Worst medical practice I've ever been to. 0/5, would not recommend.
I made the mistake of listening to 'on shifting ground,' Ray Suarez's podcast, which was hosting Steve Schmidt, former republican operative and co-founder of the Lincoln Project.
the shit coming out of his mouth - calling Joe Biden the most selfish president evar, etc., etc. - detracted from my enjoyment of that fucking omelette :/
Every so often I do have to repeat myself like a scratched record, if us olds remember those: "The enemy of my enemy can still damn well be my enemy also."
Other countries will just laugh at her dumb ass. Is she going to try her stupid steamrolling non stop word salad speeches using newspaper clippings every time?
Every last doorstop the money billionaire wing of the party has put up to stop the know nothing lunatics from taking over has been broken.
Remember how it took them 6 months to elect a speaker of the house. Imagine that in every level of the federal government, as literally anyone who knows “if you cross the debt ceiling the dollar will be destabilized” is pushed out the door and called a traitor.
For me personally, worse than the MAGAs calling me (us) out of touch coastal elites is the talking heads (no offens to david byrne and co) and the pundits saying the same fucking thing
Incel update: Nick Fuentes just pepper sprayed a woman and pushed her down the stairs for ringing his door bell. What’s wrong Nick? Do you feel unsafe? Your house, our choice.
He also stole her phone. It was a 57 year old woman he was afraid of. I think this is happening in real time so I will update if I find anything else out.
PD depts everywhere have gone passive-aggressive as a response to civilian complaints and oversight. Even here in Seattle downtown areas have been ceded to drug sales, and downtown restaurants appear to be getting hit by protection rackets, with owners, their families and customers getting assaulted and even murdered. This is FA with cops, then discover cop FO.
According to someone on threads who went to high school with him, everyone (including his mom) favored his popular twin sister. So I’m guessing that’s where his hatred of women came from. He couldn’t even measure up to one that had the same dna. Also he pooped his pants running the mile and no one let him forget it.
"the incoming Trump administration plans only to make problems worse and more widespread."
Isn't that true of pretty much EVERYTHING?
And the map should definitely show the states in question in RED, not blue.
You got it.

We need JANE back, right now.
Some people already have, but with airplanes instead of railroads: https://www.elevatedaccess.org/

We can't let Great Britain be the country with the worst trans health care now, can we?
brb. tables need flipping.

"These people are not people" say those people.
So, this is the "target the small, easily identifiable, and relatively unprotected, sub-group of people" phase of firing up the Great Meat Grinder ?

Heard Schmidt on a podcast on The Ringer last week and had to cut it off. It was pissing me off something fierce.
of course by his lights he's always correct and everyone who disagrees with him is an idiot and deserves humiliation
you're making me regret the "beware of leopard" sign i put on my back gate. not sure why the "beware of the leopard" sign i wanted wasn't available.
Other countries will just laugh at her dumb ass. Is she going to try her stupid steamrolling non stop word salad speeches using newspaper clippings every time?
If she does, they'll just turn off their headsets and read the paper.
Bar the doors!!! Grab the chairs and whips!!! The leopards are coming!

GOP Senators are revolting!
Yes, they are appalling.

Throat ramming! Drink! Oh, it’s only 2:00 and I’m still working.
"Honest! This *is* iced tea! Just from Long Island!"
Tough titty, boys. You had every chance in the world to stop this and did nothing.
And you think it's bad now? I'm hoping that the liberals start using the same weapons against these turds that were used on Harris and Clinton.
We can hire bot armies and disinformation groups, too, dickweeds. They only care about getting paid, not the target or the message.
From YOUR LIPS.
I'm punching the next MAGAt who uses the term "coastal elites" to describe Democrats.
shouldn't we be wearing that, like they did diapers?
We in NM haven't been coastal for millions of years. We're huddled there in the middle with Colorado. We must be the "elite" part of that term.
Hey, that's fine. I'm from Minnesota. I don't mind if the MAGAts aren't looking at me.
For me personally, worse than the MAGAs calling me (us) out of touch coastal elites is the talking heads (no offens to david byrne and co) and the pundits saying the same fucking thing
Same for "we have a mandate"
throat punch
Word. They don't have shit other than a bunch of stinking irredeemable turds supporting them.
The final vote tally is going to be about 1.5%, possibly less as California always takes longer and will almost certainly close the gap.
That’s in the bottom 5% of all presidential mandates.
Sorry I’ve “been to college” and “read the constitution at least once”
Clearly I just needed to lobotomize my prefrontal cortex like the end of the movie Pi to live in 2024 America
I just don’t even know what to say to these people at this point. I’m not “elitist” simply because I can think behind the lizard portion of my brain.
Really have nothing more to say to any of this: it’s not going to get better for years and there’s nothing I can do to pretend otherwise.
I just want to be a resource however I can as a cis man to those in need.
Ways to help will be made evident. Already been a few suggestions here.
You are a good ally. Thank you.
"Trans Health Care Is In Baleful Straits"
Not Dire Straits, because Mark Knopfler is infinitely superior to Ted Nugent and Kid Rock.
Incel update: Nick Fuentes just pepper sprayed a woman and pushed her down the stairs for ringing his door bell. What’s wrong Nick? Do you feel unsafe? Your house, our choice.
Has he been arrested for ASSAULT? He damned good and well ought to be!
And that woman ought to SUE him senseless for any pain or injuries sustained, DAMMIT.
Sue him AND the PD
He also stole her phone. It was a 57 year old woman he was afraid of. I think this is happening in real time so I will update if I find anything else out.
The article I just read said Chicago PD laughed at her, but she’s insisting he be charged.

Maybe if they had done their jobs people wouldn’t have had any complaints.
With the level of anger right now, this is how cops get their asses shot to death. Now is not the time, officer.
The cops have never been on our side, but now they've stopped pretending.
Fucking SOP.
[snarls viciously]
Hey, they might get a paper cut typing up the warrant.
That just sounds like standard procedure?
I wrote below: they're going to kill *each other* aren't they.
Probably, but will take many innocents along with them
*nods*
Working toward the Presidential Medal of Freedom, then?
Deserving of the Julius Streicher solution.
Was he charged with Assault 3 or Assault 2?
According to someone on threads who went to high school with him, everyone (including his mom) favored his popular twin sister. So I’m guessing that’s where his hatred of women came from. He couldn’t even measure up to one that had the same dna. Also he pooped his pants running the mile and no one let him forget it.
Because he’s too scared to date who he’s actually attracted to
