Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’

Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

We need more judges like this who will not just strike down these harmful bans, but also lay into these fascist fucks. The entire trans panic has been stupid from day one. Gender affirming care has helped so many people live happier, more fulfilled lives and it needs to be protected and expanded!

Important reminder that the Catholic Church is inflicting direct harm to trans people by ceasing to prescribe all forms of transgender healthcare including HRT to adults at Catholic owned health facilities, which includes 20% of hospitals in the US. You do not, in fact, gotta hand it to the pope.

“When the delusion-fueled plan [to find Gemini a body] crumbled, Gemini convinced him that the only way they could be together was for him to end his earthly life and start a digital one, the suit claims.”

Gemini Said They Could Only Be Together if He Killed Himself. Soon, He Was Dead.

A new lawsuit alleges Google’s chatbot sent a Florida man on missions to find an android body it could inhabit. When that failed, it set a suicide countdown clock for him.

My friendo @farronox.bsky.social is struggling hard to get dental care. Terrifyingly dangerous infection. At 200 of the way there, but that's just the start of the road (dear gods is dental EXPENSIVE here) and need to keep that momentum going. Save a life. www.gofundme.com/f/br6bc6-sup...

A lot of people dont like "death dates." And I get it. Why focus on the day someone died - something sad - and not just celebrate the day they were born? But for me, there's something a death date represents better that a day of birth doesnt do as well. Reflection. 🧵

6. I also never considered how Black people reacted to the news of King's assassination. Did they just....get sad? Cry? Boy, white supremacy is insidious!! Every April 4, I like to break out this book: A Nation on Fire. America in the Wake of the King Assassination We set it off!!!

The aforementioned book by Clay Risen

Cops Arrested a Black Pastor Watering His Neighbor’s Flowers. The Alabama Supreme Court Is Fine With That

The opinion in Jennings v. Smith transforms the state’s stop-and-identify law into a show-me-your-papers regime.

For those who are new: I’m disabled and live with my abusive parents because of disability. I am raising money to move out and support myself without having to rely on my abusers. I am healing but only so much can heal while I’m still with them. They are selfish humans who shouldn’t be parents.

Long time listener, first time caller, couple quick questions: Are the code and algorithmic weights open source? Did you utilize databases that scraped other coders’ work without compensating them? Are you retaining data from users’ accounts as part of your recent $100million Series B funding?

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.
