So grateful to be a part of this spectacular program building the #HealthLaw field. Amazing work by this year’s scholars.

This is like living through a public health nightmare. It was so so preventable.

While I agree with you on this, I hope you are never the dem candidate at the national level. You throw marginalized people under the bus trying to curry favor with people who are never going to vote for you. It is so disappointing.

Since 2020, political attacks on LGBTQ and especially transgender people have dramatically escalated. Until now, these attacks have unfolded in legislatures, government agencies, and executive offices. But in 2026, this fight is being put to voters directly. Read more below. ⬇️ 🧵

One of our favorite weekends of the year is upon us — the #HealthLaw Scholars Workshop. Now in its 25th year, we are thrilled to induct 4 new scholars into the fold over 3 days of meaningful work & lots of opportunities for discussion and camaraderie.

Just looked at my little man this morning and said “it’s sweater weather bud” and I could not be more giddy. Not sure about him though 😂

Well now I have another book to read.

In Alligator Alcatraz, detainees were forced into small outdoor cages for hours at a time. In Camp East Montana, detainees report beatings from guards and denial of medical care. In Delaney Hall, detainees report unsafe drinking water and retaliatory abuse for speaking up. Unimaginable cruelty.

We all need to take responsibility for making this stop and changing the tide. All of us. It cannot be on trans and nonbinary folks to do this alone.

When will they learn???

@profwaltermac.bsky.socialSep 2, 2026, 12:39 AM

Good.

I hope people will read this article and truly take in the way anti-trans policies are impacting real people. This is not some academic debate.

I don't think we should mince words. Transphobia and hatred killed May Pollard. The Idaho legislature killed her as surely as if they'd pointed a gun at her head and pulled the trigger. Anti-trans laws were the gun. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

nbcnews.comIdaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.
