Here's what the marker never solves: nothing. They just told nine hundred pages' worth of readers exactly which paragraph was worth having.
The lever: say the page out loud. Name the passage they cut.

The Russian edition of Hope: The Autobiography went out with the LGBTQ+ sections cut or blacked through. Published worldwide in 2025; published in Russia only this year, only after the surgery.
Nearly 600 books banned there since 2022 under the "propaganda" regime. Alpina Publishing has said precisely nothing. It took a dead pontiff. WTF.

Some russian asshole read it first. That's the part that won't leave me. Somebody sat with the passage where Francis said gay and trans people are welcomed by the church, understood it and said fuck no, Russians are not reading this.

CW: CW: Anti-trans politics, medical records
Ask why the standard of proof for one man's forearm is a shrug, and the standard for a fifteen-year-old's endocrinology is a grand jury subpoena.
Show me the records, they said. They meant yours.

CW: CW: Anti-trans politics, medical records
Four separate explanations for one bruised arm. Handshakes. Then chronic venous insufficiency. Then a signing table in Switzerland. Then a forearm no handshake in the recorded history of the species has ever reached.
The same government spent a year subpoenaing hospitals for the confidential medical files of transgender children #TransRights #Trans #LGBTQ #QueerNews #News #Journalism #Resist #Solidarity #uspol #MedicalPrivacy #Politics #Accountability

Lilly Wachowski helped build a franchise that printed money for thirty years. She cannot get her next film funded. The cast is heavily trans. Because no movie house will touch it. #TransPanic is real. And its fucking taking a hold.

A count is a thing a person made with a pen. And it isnt even a fucking count. Its ZERO! Who's holding the pen, and when did anybody ask them? When did I ask them? I didn't. And Neither did any of you. Fuck our trans hating overlords.

Not few. Not declining. Zero — zero isn't even a goddamned number.
30 years ago the reference point was a man-in-a-dress joke in Ace Ventura (
I HATE THAT FUCKING MOVIE WITH A PASSION). From that bottom we climbed, up through a decade where trans people just turned up in things, incidental & unremarked. Now, that is all being taken away. I am fucking tired. Ready to give up.#TransRights #LGBTQ #QueerNews #TransVisibility #Representation #Film #Cinema #Hollywood #Journalism #Media #Pride

225 films. 0 trans characters. FUCKING ZERO!!!!
That's GLAAD's count of the ten biggest distributors' 2025 slates — A24, Amazon, Apple, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount, Sony, Disney, Warner Bros. Forty-six of the 225 had any LGBTQ character at all, down from 23.6% the year before. Total queer characters fell from 181 to 112. And of those 112 no trans

225 films from the ten biggest distributors. GLAAD counted the trans characters and got 0.
Not few. Not down. Zero — and round numbers take effort.
Why the fuck are they trying to erase us again? What the fuck did we do?

The AG said no attorney general should ever pledge independence from the White House. Eight hundred words was not room enough.
Tonight, four times the length and worse language.

Asked whether Trump should have a voice in individual prosecutions: yes, of course.

The President's former personal defense lawyer, now running the shop that decides who gets butt fucked legally in this country, announced that no attorney general in history should ever have promised the thing every attorney general in history at least had the decency to pretend they would promise. #uspol #Politics #DOJ #RuleOfLaw #Democracy #Journalism #News #Accountability #Law #TransRights #QueerNews

2 Sentences, and one goddamned question. That is fucking it.
Kristen Welker asked the plainest question in American civics history of all time: can you pledge the Justice Department will always act independently of the White House. Blanche said fuck no. Then he said no attorney general should ever pledge that, EVER. Fuck him.

A subpoena machine, a Medicaid administrator, and a $25 billion wizard franchise, all aimed at us.
Canada expanded our rights. Massachusetts opened its wallet. The government folded its subpoena.

An agent asked Ally Pankiw if Harry Potter was a hard no.
"Absolutely f**king not!"
Four words against a $25 billion franchise. Kate Herron got asked twice and never moved.
When did you last pay for a no?

$3.6 million. All MassHealth spent on gender-affirming care for under-18s in 2024. A suburban school's sports budget.
Washington walks in October. Massachusetts said we'll pay it.
What's your governor's number?

The Medicaid rule hits October 13. Healey didn't wait for litigation — Massachusetts committed state money for trans kids' care in days.
Endocrinology appointments don't pause.

Mehmet Oz runs Medicaid. He calls a 14-year-old's hormone prescription a "sex-rejecting procedure."
He sold raspberry ketones on TV.
Every doctors' group disagrees. Only one of them signs checks. Guess which.

JD Vance wants DOJ combing billing codes at 200-plus hospitals over trans kids' care. Regret rate: 1.94%. Pre-teen surgeries: zero.
The Vice President for Billing Codes found his holy war and it's a spreadsheet.

Caitlyn Jenner went on Fox to say two washed-up NBA centers doing a bit have "a point." She couldn't say the commissioner's name. Guessed "Cathy Edinburgh."
That machine reissued her passport as male in April.
