This is the point I keep making about Gen X and Boomers, especially those of color. The way Jim Crow, the War On Drugs & the AIDS crisis shaped the US needs to be studied
Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

public comment period for the proposed rule to remove trans care from the ACA as an essential health benefit & strip care from DACA recipients ends at 23:59pm EDT tonite

if you haven't commented, it won't take long & is worth doing. context & guidance in-thread ⬇️

if you have commented, thank you💜🏳️‍⚧️
hi, cis folks!

if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.

~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.

that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

What’s your favorite word?

I’m fond of the ones that sound like what they are. Shenanigans! Stupendous! Spectacular!

…apparently I also have a thing for the letter S.

I am not a capitalist. Not only that, I don’t believe in money.
I hate money.

Little pieces of paper and metal that have value.
Why are they valuable? Because we say so.
That’s it. That’s all.
We agree it means something, so it does – a shared delusion.

Paxton continues his bid for world’s worst person.
1. Texas AG Ken Paxton is usurping the authority of Texas Courts in a brazen act of autocratic power.

He's ordering court ordered gender changes void.

He's demanding licenses and birth certificates revoked, with reverted replacements for trans people.

One of my favorite things is when something gets approved but it’s only because the person approving it didn’t actually look at it. So when they finally do, everything is already scheduled and you have to rush to make lots of edits. Which never results in any errors, of course.
