"The Republicans will drop all this trans stuff after the mid-terms"

Important update: after previously signaling that it would cave to Trump's pressure, Michigan has announced that it will be restoring Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care for trans youth. Pressure works, y'all. Don't let up on Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Virginia.

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.

I'm very proud of Nick. He has put so much into E//A. I'm disappointed that Ian and Ellie continue to show what kind of people they are mostly cowards, but hopefully they can no longer hurt and take advantage of anyone else. I can't wait to play E//A. www.rascal.news/email/5d90f0...

I think it'll go the complete opposite direction, because there's no such thing as culture war or wedge issues, just real people's lives and those who gamble with them. This has been the same fight for centuries because most of the world forever vacillates between outright evil and lesser evil.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict something today. If the shellacking of the Republican party happens the way I think it will, it will cripple (but not destroy) culture war wedge issues....

Josh Turek says he didn't vote for a Democratic ticket, and instead voted republican for several races. And yet trans people are vilified for doing the same to him?

the whole party got together and kicked her out which is the opposite of a divide

Someone scraped ao3 and uploaded everything to AI. My novel alpha is on there. I feel sick.

Over sixty Democrats in the House and Senate have done exactly this - over and over again - for the last three years.

this is a far, far bigger scandal than anything Peltola did, and the fact that the media refuses to treat it as such is embarrassing but not surprising
