Trump's trans healthcare ban is affecting Americans in Canada • Celeste Trianon U.S. international students studying at McGill now need to contend with the fact that if they are transgender, they can't get trans-specific healthcare on campus until they turn 19.

SCOOP: McGill University's on-campus doctors are now refusing to prescribe hormones to trans youth and adults under age 19... if they're U.S. citizens.

They claim liability issues, but this isn't the first time U.S. EOs have interfered with Canadian doctors.

OKAy Yeah I want ten

Inspired by @kezl.bsky.social 's Bi State Furry Transit Agency cards, I decided to make my own based on RTA's reduced fare/special cards, hmu if you want one :)

Archaeologists Find Iliad “Catalog of Ships” Papyrus Inside Egyptian Mummy - Arkeonews Archaeologists in Egypt’s Oxyrhynchus have discovered a Roman-era tomb containing mummies with golden tongues and a rare papyrus

This is just so cool. A Roman-era mummy recently excavated in Egypt contained a fragment of papyrus with a section of the Iliad.

A lot of centrists on twitter are watching videos full of middle-aged white people in Michigan being pissed at Stevens and pretending they show brown college students. It's all very transparent

The Catholic Church, y'all.

Gen X tastes were “childish” too but the expanded media landscape meant their art was marketed eventually as “cool” and old media “classic.” Boomers/gen x still run the show so new media is either marketed to their tastes or “childish” since it’s 80/90s reboots or made by “kids” (people under 45).

🔥 People are waking up! 🔥

Democrat Congresswoman Haley Stevens booed over her support for Israel and the genocide of Palestinians.

At a Democratic Party conference in Detroit Michigan, the whole crowd collectively chanted “shame on you” as the pro-Israeli official began to speak.

Why would you look at a state with such a budget crisis that they are cutting a bunch of services and think “let’s copy them!”?

The rise in climate pollution from the US is 2025 canceled out the reductions from China, India, Japan, and the EU combined.

On a related note, I thought the people who made this site were free speech fetishist libertarians? That's the defence busted out when we ask why known famous transphobic figureheads aren't moderated, but it's "intolerance" to criticize a religious hegemony that dehumanises me?

Yeah it’s nuts how politics Bluesky/Twitter continues to do this 2016 Primary Shuffle, while you have people like Angie Sullivan and Jennifer Welch just fully opposing aid to Israel at this point. These are Bravo-coded white women that would have been bog standard Hillary voters. It’s over.

There’s a reason Republicans don’t constantly shit on their own voters and that’s because it is an abysmal strategy for winning elections

one of the most insane aspects of all of this is that "a wide ranging government crackddown after a handful of newspaper cranks said insane things based on misunderstood cherrypicked papers" is considered illegitimate in every field of endeavor except this one

Riffing on this: if you assume your neighbor’s house would become an 8-flat the moment it hits the market, you’re implicitly concurring that the housing shortage is real and that your local municipality is actively suppressing the market through restrictive zoning

I have no idea what else is hiding in the omnibus bill. Frankly I don’t think anyone does.

Both bills are scheduled to be voted on by the house by May 8th.

I specifically asked to not be included in the e-bike bill and I’m not happy about being drug into it anyway.

It is insane that Spain was discussing the problem of “containing the Americans” within years of our independence because that it how expansionist the founding fathers were. Jefferson & Madison were doing reddit style natural law arguments for the right to navigate Spanish waters and take more land.

i've seen libs call anarchists tankies. i've seen libs call other libs tankies. the word has breached containment and doesn't mean anything except, like, being on the left of reagan maybe

Zohran Mamdani on CBS — “Socialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.”

Seems fitting that we have the shadow docket because Roberts got mad at an EPA blog post.

"why do all the fake trans people of this website spend all their time acting like fake rape victims and talking about fake genocides and fake concerns about democrats?"-concerned cis people of bluesky

I think this is just genuine bias. I don’t question your experience in a soviet satellite but you were called a communist if you opposed Jim Crow across much of the United States. Same goes for opposing Vietnam and fighting for the great society. This all gets buried somehow. Look to MLK himself.
