Arizona and Virginia, both of which are governed by Democrats, are ending Medicaid coverage of care for trans youth, Transitics has learned. The bans, which go into effect on October 13th, mark the most significant Democratic capitulation to Trump's anti-trans demands yet. Cowards.

transiticsnews.comDemocrat-led Arizona, Virginia Quietly End Medicaid Coverage of Care for Trans Youth, Acquiescing to Trump DemandsThe policy changes, which go into effect on October 13th, see Arizona and Virginia join Kansas as states where Democrats have needlessly opted to restrict Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care.

So much of what we are confronting today is best understood by the actions undertaken by white communities in response to integration orders. White supremacy is a form of democratic nihilism.

to be clear, the admin is alleged to have deported AT LEAST 25,447 individuals TO COUNTRIES THAT ARE NOT THEIR OWN with, evidently, ZERO PROTECTIONS. this is a scandal and crime of historic proportions.

the @forbidden-stories.bsky.social investigation is so deeply important. put the illegality to one side. the trump admin is brazenly sending ppl to third countries, lacking any cxn, without any guarantee they won't be sent on for torture, abuse, persecution... it's horrible.

it’s been said a ton already but I really do appreciate mamdani so throughly dismantling the core democrat ideology of “we actually can’t ever do anything helpful or good because of. circumstances”

They even made DoorDash apologize.

thinking about how many rent fundraisers and adopt-a-rents that Lilly Wachowski funded this year (our rent team would get a little fan girly) and wishing she had JK Rowling's entire fortune to redistribute. what an incredibly good human.

yes, and, um, some of us keep trying to tell people that this is how the supreme court ruling, and the EHRC guidance, is written. trans men can be excluded from any and all "single-sex" facilities if their appearance distresses someone of hegemonic class, for any reason, arbitrarily.

I want to apologize for remarks I made a few years ago suggesting I believe every human is entitled to respect and dignity in addition to basic human rights. I had no way of knowing at the time this sentiment could be interpreted as applying to people of a gendered persuasion

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

regular reminder that most of the millions of projected deaths from USAID's destruction HAVE NOT HAPPENED YET—which means they can still be prevented. but this is only possible if we demand that democrats prioritize it once in power. it is a moral imperative that we actually act on these numbers

The Author, Séamas O'Reilly@seamas.bsky.social

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

When is it appropriate to call what we are witnessing attempts at Black scholasticide and the undermining and devaluing of Black intellectual labor?

This is an absolute travesty. Northwestern has, probably, the 2nd best library collection for African History/Studies in the USA (behind Yale and ahead of MSU, UCLA, etc). A self-inflicted wound that is absolutely, 100% unnecessary given the massive wealth of Northwestern--north of $15 billion.

1/ Outrageous and unacceptable. The Namaygoosisagagun First Nation wasn’t warned of the blaze that burned their community to the ground and were not given supports to evacuate.

OTTAWA – A small Ontario First Nations community that was burned to the ground by a raging wildfire on Monday is being deprived of the help it needs because the federal government doesn’t recognize it as a First Nation, the community’s lawyer said.

In Washington State, anti-trans ballot initiatives threaten to reverse civil rights protections that make it an iconic landmark for transgender people. So Congresswoman Jayapal, to a large crowd, helped launch No Hate In WA State to combat it. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I'm working on a story on this as well, but the takeaway out of this is that Mamdani's direct-care clinic will apparently ban trans youth from getting care, will only provide it to adults. This is because of fear of loss of federal funding. This is DIRECTLY the capitulation reason NYU/Sinai gave.
