Well, you know

How is that experiment where we unleash a goonish white nationalist authoritarian on the country’s most vulnerable populations because from the vantage of an extremely rich white person it could be kinda cool to watch actually going? Not great, Bob Susan!

The Trump administration Friday finalized a rule that would remove nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people when it comes to health care and health insurance.

“HHS respects the dignity of every human being, and as we have shown in our response to the pandemic, we vigorously protect and enforce the civil rights of all to the fullest extent permitted by our laws as passed by Congress,” said Roger Severino, who directs the Office for Civil Rights in the Department of Health and Human Services, in written statement announcing that the HHS rule had become final. The rule is set to go into effect by mid-August.

This is one of many rules and regulations put forward by the Trump administration that defines “sex discrimination” as only applying when someone faces discrimination for being male or female, and does not protect people from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Ok, but at least you have to admit that after four years of Trump it would be impossible for a generic old white guy to win the Democratic nomin…I’ll come in again.

…good piece by Katelyn Burns explaining the horrible effects this will have.
