Not really sure “Knockin’ on heaven’s door” is the right hold music for a medical center. And yet Optum chose that anyway.

New: Seattle residents call on Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, Alaska Airlines, other major employers to stop fighting the proposed taxes that would give the city resources to properly address serious social issues that lead to public safety problems.

It isn't your business how someone is or isn't transitioned. It isn't your business how or if they access medical care, and what medical care they access. Doctors and patients should make medical decisions, not politicians or voters.
There is never a compromise you can make that will satisfy them. They will still attack you and force you to concede more. You should never concede anything to them because they want to eradicate trans people.

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
The Verge@theverge.com · 2mo agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
He ends by implying that this is an easy problem to solve if we could just drop our left-wing ideology long enough to finally impose consequences on homeless people and addicts. Not only is this unconstitutional, it's also incredibly expensive! Either way we're providing housing and services.
The core argument is that cities like Seattle are so addled by left-wing ideology that they have fallen into dystopia. In reality, the city has never adequately funded harm reduction programs and continues to rely on incarceration to address homelessness. What Powell wants is what we're doing.
There is no good faith concern. None. There are only people who never gave a shit about trans women in sports being manipulated into thinking there are good faith concerns and then normal people. You can't have good faith concerns about a few dozen people playing fucking sports. Shut up and stop it

Overnight, a masked bandit broke into our kitchen. Armed with opposable thumbs, he proceeded to sample everything on offer. I’d just visited the farmers market, so the menu was extensive. I can now share a highly specific peer-reviewed list of what this particular raider did & did not enjoy. 🧵

The anti trans crowd was outraged by this study because it included clinicians who actually practice gender affirming care. Yet another systematic review that follows Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Utah, and Louisiana that finds this care is safe and effective with rare regret.
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 3mo ago1. In an incredible new landmark review, the Health Council of the Netherlands has declared that gender-affirming care for trans youth works, reducing wait times is "morally urgent," and regret is rare. It is the latest of many Euro countries to advance care. Subscribe to support our journalism.
I thought I was training this crow (I have nicknamed the crow Buddy) but it turns out Buddy has been training *me*. I’m the one who hops up when Buddy arrives cawing, and I’m the one who has learned which food Buddy prefers. And I’m ok with the arrangement 😏
🧵 In Coe v Blanche, the Department of Justice has refused to confirm to the court that parents of transgender kids are safe from federal prosecution through the use of data obtained through Grand Jury Subpoenas to NYC Gender Affirming Care providers.
It's weird the way the Democratic alleged leadership (Jeffries too) think that the party is a club with rules rather than something the voters choose. It's....undemocratic. But also didn't the voters choose these people because of their policies, not just because of Mandani?
