Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17
One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage
Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states

Wonderful piece by @mskellymhayes.bsky.social about the right's vision of a life without women.
I talked with my friend @shaneburley.bsky.social about Nick Fuentes' recent rant about putting women in gulags. How seriously should we take Fuentes, culturally and politically? And what does rhetoric like this reveal about the broader trajectory of the movement he’s trying to shape? We get into it.
Nick Fuentes Wants Women in “Gulags.” Here’s Why That Matters.
"Gender has always been an important throughline of fascist politics," says Shane Burley.

I will never fucking forgive the fucking Biden administration for declaring "mission accomplished" and forcing people to go back to their workplaces without any guarantees of clean filtered air, or a guaranteed right to mask, or guaranteed paid sick leave, or guaranteed universal healthcare.

The risk of developing Long COVID goes up with each infection.
The upper bound for developing Long COVID after three+ infections is 47%.

Said it before & will say it again: A vast proportion of the current framework of Western technology & power is founded on, & delights in proliferating, eugenics. Thiel, Musk, Epstein; "AI," life extensionist, way too much of transhumanism. Gebru & Torres gave it 1 name, but the connections are OLD.
I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com.

Epstein couldn't stop emailing people about eugenics
In the latest files, the trafficker gives it a Silicon Valley–pilled name: "genetic altruism."

I am once again imploring anyone with the ability to do so to create a stable, living-wage job in a working class community, particularly if you can hire veterans
giving people options other than working for the regime is effective resistance

Avoiding COVID isn't rocket science, and it doesn't require abstaining from doing every activity in public. Using layered protections appropriate to the risk level of each space is sufficient.
