Rep. Johnny Olszewski D-MD (lower left) tried but failed to get recognized on the House floor today to get Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva D-AZ sworn in. Speaker Johnson has refused to seat Grijalva for more than 3 weeks. "This is wrong and you know it Mr. Speaker."

There are no good-faith anti-trans arguments and no acceptable compromises on trans lives

Like many trans healthcare bans, the Fenway Health policy covers everyone up to age 19, including legal adults who are 18 years old.

Mainstream reporting consistently ignores this creeping ban on adult care, which extends the legal minority of trans adults to maximize the harms of delayed care.

snippet from the Boston Globe home page:
Under federal pressure, Fenway Health ends gender-affirming medical care for trans children
The community clinic, long a key institution for the LGBTQ+ community, treated 5,000 patients transgender patients in 2023, although its unclear how many were minors.

With "and young adults" added after children in red

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

My pressure headache cleared up immediately after eating a paleta so I’m choosing to believe correlation = causation in this case.

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

John Carpenter made some of the greatest movies of all time and then retired to make music with his son and play video games. It’s possible he has lived the greatest life in human history.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
