I wonder if all the people braying about the "war on Christianity" might raise some objections if it were a *Democratic* administration who had its armed thugs shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and waiting outside Catholic Churches to disappear parishioners?

Rachel Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com · 1d

"After the warning, neighbors showed up and formed a human chain outside the church to guide parishioners home. NBC Chicago found more organizers doing the same for the beginning of the 6 p.m. mass..."

Fenway health in Boston has stopped providing gender affirming care to trans youth.

I was previously on the board of this organization and I've never been so disgusted with their leadership cowardly capitulating like this.

Alt text:
Statement from Fenway Health explaining that due to new federal requirements effective October 1, 2025, they can no longer provide medical gender-affirming care such as hormones and puberty blockers to patients under 19, but all other services for patients of all ages will continue unchanged.

My whole adult life from 20s through my 40s I had tons of Hello Kitty stuff, mostly to poke people as I was incredibly masculine. Then I realized I had to transition, got boobs, dropped Hello Kitty and now I am a happy trans girl.

Hello Kitty made me trans.... Also Queer.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

Last night was the first frost. I got a lot of tom's harvested Monday. I have a few more to grab, & the tomatoes will be done.

I have a whole separate bowl of red tom's in the fridge and will make and freeze more sauce. Wife is making a green tomato pie again. Heavily recommend. It's now my fave.
