On February 9, under cover of "government-wide guidance," federal agents quietly removed the rainbow Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument in New York City — the literal birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.
The National Park Service cited a January 21st memo restricting flagpoles to the U.S. and Interior Department flag. What it actually means: the shit-gargling fuck-sticks in this administration looked at the holiest ground in queer American history and chose to strip it bare.
WTF did the idiots at the AMA think that this administration was going to do with their broad meaningless statement?
It was enough to cover their own asses and they knew it would be weaponized against the trans community. The pathetic cowardice in this county is as horrifying as the hate coming from the fascists in the administration.
"The @ASPS_News and AMA have made strong statements on this critical issue."
They made baseless atmospheric statements without changing any actual guidelines as to what is good practice.
"The latest referrals also appear to violate, at least in spirit, the agreement in Oregon v. Kennedy, where 22 states filed a lawsuit challenging the Kennedy Declaration as violating the Administrative Procedure Act."
This administration acting like it's desires are the law is sadly typical -- and how many of it's actions are criminal, meriting prosecution under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, 18 U.S.C. § 241, & 18 U.S.C. § 242.
Donald Trump’s latest legal assault on four federally qualified LGBTQ+ health centers is not about policy — it is about cruelty, control, and the deliberate targeting of vulnerable communities for political gain.
This is yet another racist, bigoted attempt to weaponize government power against people simply because of who they are.
Federally qualified health centers exist to serve communities that are too often marginalized, underinsured, and ignored. LGBTQ+ health centers save lives.
They provide mental health care, gender-affirming care, primary care, and culturally competent services that many patients cannot safely access elsewhere.
To attempt to strip these centers of their ability to serve patients is an attack on public health itself.
Let’s be clear: this is part of a broader pattern. From attacks on transgender youth, to efforts to roll back civil rights protections, to inflammatory rhetoric that fuels hostility and violence — this is a coordinated strategy to erase LGBTQ+ people from public life.
These health centers must not stand alone.
They must band together. They must challenge these actions in court. They must demand protection under federal civil rights law.
They must call on governors, state attorneys general, members of Congress, and the medical community to intervene.
Silence will only embolden further abuse of power.
Healthcare is not a culture war weapon. It is a human right.
We call on:
State leaders to provide immediate legal and financial support to these centers.
Civil rights organizations to mobilize.
Medical associations to publicly defend evidence-based care.
Every citizen who believes in equality to speak out.
History shows that progress is defended not by retreat, but by resistance.
These centers must stand firm, defend their patients, and fight this unjust, discriminatory overreach in every lawful venue available.
Bigotry cannot be allowed to dictate healthcare in the United States.
“Breast reduction “ surgery is also known for as gynecomastic surgery. It includes removal of breasts developing on males due to pubertal problems, removal of breast from intersex boys due to pubertal problems, breast removal from trans boys/men and lastly the reduction of breast size from females whose breasts are so large it threatens mobility and health. Keep this in mind as the anti-trans hysterics try to interfere with patients health choices.
I'm sorry, but NOTHING this administration and its lackies do surprises me anymore. Mind you, I'm still incensed and disgusted, but just as the Jews were by 1942, I'm no longer surprised. I will say it again. The second amendment to the constitution was penned not for duck hunting, but for the citizenry to have recourse in dealing with a despotic government (foreign OR domestic). All of these exclusionary steps are merely the natural step-by-step progression toward the christian nationalists' goal of elimination. We are being warned. Woe to us if we fail to heed the warnings.
Die Asche unserer Bibliothek liegt noch immer auf dem Opernplatz – genau dort, wo die Deutsche Studentenschaft und die Sturmabteilung ihre selbstgefällige Barbarei zur Schau stellten. Sie warfen nicht nur unsere Bücher ins Feuer, sondern setzten auch die bronzene Büste unseres Gründers Magnus Hirschfeld oben auf den Scheiterhaufen, als groteske Trophäe ihres Fanatismus.
Schätzungen sprechen von 12.000 bis 20.000 vernichteten Büchern und Zeitschriften, dazu unzählige Bilder und sexualwissenschaftliche Materialien – ein gezielter Angriff auf Wissen, Vielfalt und menschliche Würde. Andere Angaben nennen rund 25.000 zerstörte Bände. Was hier brannte, war nicht nur Papier, sondern der bewusste Versuch, Aufklärung selbst auszulöschen.“

“Welcome to the Institute for Sexual Science.
The ashes of our library still lie on the Opernplatz — the very place where the Deutsche Studentenschaft and the Sturmabteilung paraded their smug barbarism. They didn’t just throw our books into the fire; they placed the bronze bust of our founder, Magnus Hirschfeld, stolen from the institute, on top of the pyre like a grotesque trophy of their fanaticism.
Estimates speak of 12,000 to 20,000 destroyed books and journals, along with countless images and materials on sexual science — a deliberate assault on knowledge, diversity, and human dignity. Other accounts put the number closer to 25,000 volumes. What burned here was not merely paper, but a conscious attempt to extinguish enlightenment itself.”
For more information go look up the Institute on Wikipedia or just search for “Nazi book burnings”. It’s very relevant to everything that is happening today.
Another governmental and political attack on business.
Punitive investigations like these have to violate the 4th amendment. It is a violation of a fair trial & due process to punish entities for holding view points that conflict with the President.

And far too many fold pre-emptively.
Thank you for your reporting.

Enough is enough.
Whitman-Walker is where I was treated and able to begin HRT 14 years ago. I really hope that they hold firm.

It not only includes that, it is the overwhelming majority of gender affirming surgeries done for youth.

Ah, we are nowhere near as bad off as the targets of the Holocaust in 1942 . . . more like circa 1935.
[time for the not great, not terrible meme?]
Our networks are too stretched thin and those with resources are just going about business as usual.
We need all hands on deck from the Democratic party to stop these attacks.
We need outright boycotts of companies working with the Trump admin.
We need coordinated efforts from those on the ground that know how to launch political counter-attacks.
What weaknesses does this open the admin to? What resources are not being utilized elsewhere? We need thinkers and leaders to step up.
I will be very, very surprised if every remaining hair on my head hasn't gone grey by 2029.
I live a couple blocks from the LA LGBT center. Going to have to keep a close eye on this.
