Aside: Regardless of #politics, #policy, or even #analysis, it’s genuinely refreshing to listen to an intelligent, capable, informed #expert from the #USGovernment. The last 6mos have felt like 60yrs of total #clownshow #idiocracy. Whether you agree with him or not, #JeromePowell is one of the few competent #FederalAgency leaders remaining.

The U.S. Supreme Court will soon rule on L.W. vs Skrmetti, a case that will decide whether state bans on gender-affirming treatment for young people are constitutional. @TeenVogue spoke to trans youth and their supportive families about what this means for them, the difficulties they've had in accessing care, and why it's so important. One mom, Esther, spoke of what she witnessed right after her daughter Kai told her she was trans. “I opened the door, and she was just beaming. She had her headphones in and was just kind of be-bopping and, like, dancing,” Esther recalls. “I'd never seen her smile like that. She'd been suffering with depression, [harming] herself, anxiety for years, and just had this heaviness to her. And it was just gone. There was a lightness.”
