For a Boise family of medical providers, Idaho criminal trans bathroom ban was the last straw This year, Idaho Legislature approved trans bathroom ban, forcing teachers to out trans kids to parents, and re-banning LGBTQ+ pride flag displays by government

The Devitts have seen the Idaho Legislature and the governor approve a wave of anti-LGBTQ+ bills in recent years. Michael and Dr. Angie Devitt, both medical professionals, watched their trans daughter, Eve, testify against a bill years ago that outlawed gender-affirming care for minors. But this year’s criminal transgender bathroom ban — described by advocates as the most extreme in the nation for extending to private businesses — was the couple’s last straw. So early this month, Michael Devitt notified patients that his practice, Focus Physical Therapy, would shut down at the end of August as his family prepared to move out of Idaho. “Obviously, this law is a disaster for families like ours,” he wrote in a letter. “We can no longer take a road trip across our beloved state, or even enjoy a family night out at a restaurant, or a movie, without running the risk of Eve being charged and sent to a prison merely for using the facilities.”

A family of doctors in Idaho with a teenage trans daughter describes their decision to close their practice and leave the state after the governor signed a law last month threatening her with a felony charge and five years in prison if she uses any women's restroom

just following onto this — trump picked up the phone from an *msnbc* reporter *in the middle of a war meeting* but sent jd to voicemail twice 😂

A screenshot of a post on X by Christopher Hale (@ChristopherHale) quoting an earlier post of his. ​The main post reads: "UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year. Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See." ​The quoted post reads: "NEW: A stunning new report claims that the Pentagon summoned Pope Leo XIV’s top American diplomat and threatened him after the U.S.-born pontiff gave his January state-of-the-world address." ​The bottom of the post shows it was last edited at 3:22 PM on Apr 8, 2026, and has 1.5M views.

The Trump administration threatened to kill the pope to the Vatican's ambassador and install a antipope in the US.

Under New Olympic Sex Testing Policy, A Cis Woman Who Gives Birth Could Be Considered Male History is set to repeat itself after the IOC announced a trans ban and mass sex testing for the 2028 Olympics.

1. The new IOC trans ban also targets cis women with genetic conditions.

Under the policy, it's even possible for a cis woman to be banned after giving birth with the uterus she was born with.

This policy was revoked before after unintended consequences.

A Texas pregnancy center told her everything was fine. Three days later, she was in the ER A crisis pregnancy center told a Texas woman that her pregnancy was intrauterine. Three days later, she had emergency surgery for an ectopic, or out-of-uterus, ...

This is WILD and also not at all surprising.

An OBGYN associated with the Texas anti-abortion pregnancy center that failed to diagnose a woman's ectopic pregnancy on an ultrasound (she later required emergency surgery) told the DMN of the care she was given:

"There is nothing to fix."

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline.

A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

I respect trans people, so it's such a little thing for me to not watch the Harry Potter trailer or show. The proceeds from that property go directly to funding anti-trans work. It's a straight line from HP to destroying lives.

I can actually SAVE TIME by not supporting this. It requires NOTHING.

This is completely unbearable. But also like… why are his insane ramblings never summarized like this in the media? We gotta wait for a substack guy to put it together like this?

Fuck yeah friend, congrats!!!!!

Kansas Republicans are trying to ban abortion by proposing an EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT and sneaking fetal personhood language in

Dept. of Defense shoots down Customs and Border Protection drone near El Paso: Officials Ranking members of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure released a statement on the incident on Thursday.

This is how screwed up everything is. The DOD shot down a CBP drone which cause the FAA to shut down the airspace around El Paso. We have stupid idiots in all levels of all agencies thanks to this Regime.
If we go to war, GOD help us.

Colombia is a major agricultural producer in specialty food & beverage! 🤦‍♀️😂 CBP needs a cup of chamomile or something.

The Roberts Court loves corporations. Corporations are their benefactor more so than Trump. Corporations were not happy with the tariffs. SCOTUS rules against Trump when it's Corporations v. Trump. End of.

Don't let this fool you into thinking this court as any goddamn legitimacy. It does not.

CNN confirms what MSNBC reported live a few hours ago: DOJ is surveilling Dem lawmakers when they go to the DOJ to search unredacted Epstein files.

Y'all, ICE thugs are still terrorizing people in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

They are counting on America looking away, and it's currently working. Please tell everyone you know, please reach out to people with huge followings, and ask them to help refocus our attention on the ongoing abuses.

The Threshold The right used to attack athletes who protested. Now they attack athletes who express feelings at all.

Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

We have enough evidence for UBI in general that this policy should be a given. But the difference is, to understand UBI works is to believe that people are fundamentally good. And a big chunk of society is built around the belief, *must maintain the belief* that people are fundamentally bad.

100% not the first time that guy’s laid hands on a woman smaller than him.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Protecting women and children, is it?

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment
