minorities fucking over minorities will never make sense to me

Minorities don't escape difference-based intolerance either. I have heard old wave immigrants hate on new wave immigrants coming from the same country. It is some kind of mix of boomer intolerance ("they don't know how we struggled at our time"), mirroring of the hate they received themselves, and fear of getting their acquired privileged stolen by new comers.

What the AG said makes total sense, though... So unless they're lying—and I'm sure it'd be easy to fact check—I don't really see why they're on the block, especially for something they advocate too.

It sounds like she’s doing a great job given the circumstances, and I agree with her suing hospitals directly isn’t a good strategy right now

I'm not familiar with this situation so I don't want to weigh in, but for people who haven't clicked the link, these seems to be the key bits

Some people need a few extra seconds to turn "because I'm terrified of losing some Republican votes" into meaningless political jargon.

For correspondence specifically concerning transgender youth / gender-affirming healthcare, reprojustice@mass.gov is particularly relevant: Campbell’s own May 2026 advisory directs questions concerning gender-affirming care there.

Democrats love giving up healthcare to fascist nonsense.

Democrats are the kinder, gentler face of American fascism. Don't forget it was St. Obama, winner of the Nobel Prize for Not Being George Bush (formerly known as Nobels fredspris or Nobel Peace Prize in translation), who presided over the War on Iraq (yes, he "ended" it, but then started it up again) and the War on Afghanistan while adding bombing attacks on Libya and Syria (and increasing by an order of magnitude the drone strikes on Pakistan and Somalia). There has never been a brown-skinned person the Democrats weren't content with bombing or shooting abroad, even when the president was brown-skinned.
