A new federal rule would ban gender affirming care at virtually every hospital system in the country.
Now, an organization says they've prepared, have private clinics and financial aid ready for families that need them.

If a budget deal goes through without restoring Medicaid & ACA subsidies, they will never be restored.
That's a death sentence for millions of Americans but also to the entire republic and economy: Health care is a for-profit business generating TREMENDOUS economic activity & will grind to a halt.

Imagine DOGE opens your mail and finds your household electric bill. To eliminate this cost, they burn your house down without warning. Then they total up the bills that, as a homeless person, you will never again pay. On its website, DOGE boasts about the money it has saved you.
Hey allies here’s something you can do

I swear to the gods if another one of these pearl-clutching Dems so much as even thinks about asking me for cash for this milquetoast excuse for a planI will go absolutely feral.
Parallelization just landed in the dev version of purrr: purrr.tidyverse.org/dev/referenc...
Really pleased that the mirai framework makes this possible.
Huge credit to the tidyverse maintainers @hadley.nz @lionelhenry.bsky.social and @davisvaughan.bsky.social !

A strong and important message from the rOpenSci team 👏
SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but it just occurred to me that written music is, at its most basic level, a plot. Like the x axis is time and the y axis is pitch 🤯
NiceR! Taught me about the #rstats {eyedroppeR} pkg

I don't know if I'm just on drone Tok or if there's something [else] that we should be worrying about??
targets, the District Court reasonably concluded that the balance of the equities tips toward preliminary relief pending full consideration of the merits. Its analysis of the last two preliminary injunction factors was not arbitrary or unreasonable. The court did not manifestly abuse its discretion, and its injunction was not overbroad. 156 Finally, both parties have submitted notices of supplemental authority, citing recent cases considering challenges to various laws regarding gender-affirming care. Without exception, the additional authority pertains to claims grounded in the equal protection clause or otherwise based on alleged unlawful discrimination. Some of the authorities also reference new developments in research and evidence that was not part of the record presented to the District Court in the preliminary injunction proceedings. Because, on the record here, the District Court's conclusions on Montana's express privacy protections are sufficient to uphold its preliminary injunction, we affirm on that basis. The parties will have the opportunity during the merits proceeding for full development of the record, where their experts may offer insight on any new research, and for briefing on the current case law relative to their claims. CONCLUSION 157 The District Court made no error of law and did not manifestly abuse its discretion. We affirm its grant of a preliminary injunction on the basis of Plaintiffs' right to privacy claim. The case will proceed to trial, at which point the District Court will finally resolve the disputed facts and issue a final determination on the constitutional issues presented. /S/ BETH BAKER 32 We Concur: /S/ MIKE McGRATH /S/ LAURIE MCKINNON /S/ INGRID GUSTAFSON /S/ DIRK M.

Incredible news! Montana’s Supreme Court just affirmed that the state’s gender affirming care ban is likely unconstitutional.
This makes the state the first state Supreme Court to rule that trans medical care is protected.
This applies REGARDLESS of what the US Supreme Court does.

Happy first day of December! Hope you're skating through your R CMD checks 🤍❄️⛸️
I know that Dems & Reps are not the same. We will be better off with Dems running things. But, things like this make it hard for me to believe it. No matter how many nice words Newsom puts in his order, people will suffer from this. They will be assaulted & lose everything they own when this happens

I am so glad to find a lot of my old #rstats people here that I haven't been keeping up with since I left Twitter. I've missed feeling connected to the R community in that way. I hope everyone is ok. I've been busy building things with Shiny and just a *lot* of life things.
Hiii, I am so glad to find you here! I doubt you remember me but I quit Twitter when toddler man took it over and I've missed all the rstats chatter for ALL THIS TIME. Anyway, hi I hope you've been alright.
