Said it before. Saying it again. These folks will do this & then wonder why DSA candidates are gaining steam/be confused their attacks against them get them called out of touch centrist ghouls.

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

Watched Forgotten Island today and it was so good! Loved the animation style and the audience was cracking up. I wish everyone has a grandma as wonderful as Jo’s. Great music, fun characters, good story. Go watch it!
