Once again, the right is openly admitting that the entire focus on trans youth is to ultimately ban all gender affirming care for adults.
All the credulous reporters and institutions that helped launder this right wing project are responsible.

We all need to be tracking the crazy going on in the Courts right now to keep taking away repro freedom. Highly recommend @reprosfightback.bsky.social @angryblacklady.blacksky.app @hegemommy.bsky.social
NEW: The judge in the Louisiana case that could upend medication abortion access has issued a ruling temporarily protecting telehealth abortion care in the state.
Rewire is tracking this important case and will keep updating our timeline as the case progresses.
"Two Trump judges (Ryan Nelson and Lawrence VanDyke) striking down a California state law that prevented dialysis providers from price gouging patients on First Amendment grounds" is such a cursed sentence that the non-American mind cannot comprehend
NEW: A federal court paused a case by the Louisiana attorney general seeking to make it harder for people everywhere to get a medication abortion.
While this current threat is on hold, the Trump administration is still laying the groundwork for new nationwide restrictions.

NEW: This morning, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Christian therapist challenging Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ youth in Chiles v. Salazar, citing free speech. @hegemommy.bsky.social and @angryblacklady.blacksky.app broke down this case back in October:
An ultra-wealthy city in MN that’s home to Target and United Health executives is the only city in America not on Google Maps Street View because the HOA, not the city, owns the roads. The rich have always commanded privacy not afforded to the rest of us and it also extends to the digital domain.
This week on Boom! Lawyered, @angryblacklady.blacksky.app and @hegemommy.bsky.social discuss how the Supreme Court’s right-wing majority is using its shadow docket to redefine parental rights at the expense of trans kids. Listen to the episode here or wherever you get your podcasts.
A new Boom! Lawyered episode just dropped! This week, @hegemommy.bsky.social and @angryblacklady.blacksky.app discuss Mirabelli v. Bonta, the Supreme Court’s latest anti-trans ruling. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is what Trump meant by saying the war was "very complete, pretty much."
All that's left is the commitment of ground troops and the global repercussions, so probably just a day or two more, right?
You should listen if only to hear my super great Donald Trump impression.
Rumpled hotness strikes again!
In this episode of Boom! Lawyered, @angryblacklady.blacksky.app and @hegemommy.bsky.social go deep on Supreme Court drama—infighting among the justices, retirement rumors, and why it’s more than political theater when the president attacks the independence of the judiciary.
It's fun to spend the morning vibrating with anxiety because of *flails arms around* all of this
"They were not shy about their doomsday ambitions."

Casey Means’ Surgeon General confirmation hearing is tomorrow.
Means holds a number of extremely disturbing views, including that hormonal birth control is “disrespect for life”.
She isn’t a “fringe” or “alternative” healthcare provider. She is a person who blithely ignores scientific facts.
NEW: Three Minnesota faith groups/leaders — local ELCA and UCC bodies, and a Jesuit priest — are suing DHS over its refusal to grant them access to immigrant detainees at a federal building.
It's one of 2 related suits filed against the government in recent months. religionnews.com/2026/02/23/f...
A federal court will hear arguments in a case brought by Louisiana designed to upend medication abortion access nationwide. Boom! Lawyered has everything you need to know about the case here

My young adult children still get us up by 6 am on Xmas and I honestly love it.
Anyway I’m sure I’ll regret this later lol in the meantime… may you all find peace and community and shared resistance in the face of petty exercises of authoritarianism. That’s what’s holy about tonight.
This is the xmas miracle I’m talking about! ❤️
And I think it’s a Midwest sensibility. The humility of the liturgy hits different. We saw it in the resistance to and at Broadview. *THIS* is the Catholicism I have in my veins
I’ve been lost in American Catholicism for most my adult life despite being raised in the most radical of Dorothy Day centered American parishes. I don’t do cult of personality and also Leo is different
It’s Xmas Eve and yet I’m still gonna be a little spicy. The fact that the first American pope is from Chicago matters because unmooring power and perspective from the coasts especially east coast is an imperative for building something new and better
