Jonathan Joss was MURDERED.

Words matter here.

He was MURDERED.

it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man.

Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

1. I am raising the alarm: If you are a transgender adult, your care is under threat by President Trump.

You should prepare for severe supply disruptions and policies that amount to potential bans.

The latest CMS letter indicates an expansion to target adults.

The Trump Administration Threat To Transgender Adult Care Is Growing At Lightning Speed
Many transgender adults have wondered when their care would be banned by the Trump administration. Now, we are seeing the first vectors to do so.
