If I told you this was not about fossil fuel air pollution that kills 200,000 people a year but instead about people smoking pot in public would you believe me
"Progress demands elderly people and small children must also inhale this?" @thomaschattwill writes. "There is something perversely unserious about a culture that insists the answer is yes and that you are some kind of 'Karen' if you beg to differ." on.theatln.tc/tpy5khO

The intersex exemptions in the trans health care bans are no mere hypocrisy--they give up the whole game. They preserve the right to deny intersex people autonomy over their own bodies because that's the central project of these laws--to enforce binary gender assignment.
"You have these trans young people, who are very confident in who they are, being denied healthcare. Whereas intersex children do not get to consent about the surgeries that they have." @SeanSaifaWall on @NPR #TransIntersexSolidarity npr.org/2023/04/11/116919479…

so the tiktok ban is just a huge internet restriction bill? it says using a VPN to access "banned apps" lands you a minimum imprisonment 20 years + a fine of either $250k or $1 mil. the president appoints someone to head a group that monitors anything that access the internet

Solving the horrifying problem of sexual violence in academia will require task forces with actual power as well as student representation. To be blunt, it isn’t going to be solved by toothless #DEI committees. Justice is only justice if survivors say so. Change should happen now

One intended effect of Trump threatening to ban care for trans adults is it makes bans on care for trans youth seem like the more "moderate" position

(content warning) This is absolutely horrifying. Women at Perryville are being forcibly induced early, also making their labor process extra long and painful. Then they're billed for the costs. Our prison system is one big human rights violation after another.
EXCLUSIVE: Arizona is inducing the labor of pregnant prisoners against their will — sometimes as early as three weeks before their due date. Health care experts call the policy unethical. Reproductive justice advocates say it's a human rights violation. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
