Surely this is not shocking, but Rogan had most of the big anti-trans scientists that my reporting found to be in the Epstein files on his podcast.

Krauss even tried to connect Epstein to Rogan at one point.

Why Target is the Center of an ICE-Out Campaign in Minnesota - Workday Magazine ICE Out of MN, a coalition of unions, worker centers, and community organizations, is putting pressure on Minnesota’s corporations that stayed silent as thousands of federal immigration agents wreaked...

Target has allowed ICE to abduct its workers and use its property for staging. Now Minnesota organizers are building a pressure campaign against the company. "There is no neutral here," says labor organizer Veronica Mendez Moore. Vital reporting by Isabela Escalona.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hasan. Hasan is a ux/ui designer and his wife Duaa taught English. They have two sons, Amir, 6 and Osama, 3. I spoke with him this morning and like everyone in Gaza his family is terrified and heard bombs all night. Help if you can ❀️

Politicians crying that they're just "protecting the children" while doing the exact opposite is nothing new, but if this becomes law it could effectively end the careers of some of you favorite queer creators (including mine!)

Scottish Government's New Guidance Counters the Myth of "Irreversible Damage" Scottish Government and NHS Scotland have published new patient information for trans and non-binary patients considering fertility preservation by egg freezing.

"This new guidance by the Scottish government highlights how much the gender critical use hyperbole, fear and a distortion of facts to terrify other parents into preventing their child from receiving the healthcare they need."

β€œI would love some kind of collective revolt where we could stop feeling like shit about everything. We could stop feeling so powerless.”

Trans Mission is next Wednesday – and this is such a lovely preview by @dorianlynskey.bsky.social in @theguardian.com ✨

hey pets, this is your report that we've applied for the brasilian poverty aid, and will be receiving money. in 1 to 3 months.

until then, we need money to buy food and other groceries, instead of plain bread, so we'd appreciate any donations if you people are willing to give.πŸ’•πŸ’Έ

#WATCH | β€œI have been living through wars since I was six. In 1971, and in 1982, and in 2000-something. And it’s still wars, wars, wars.”

Like thousands of people from south Lebanon, Aliyeh Hijazi has been on the road for days, since fighting between Israel and Hezbollah resumed.

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICE’s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

β€œNever again” is meaningless if it doesn’t include this. There’s no reason to mince words other than cowardice: these are concentration camps and never again is now.

Thought experiments for exploring how you think about gender: An ongoing thread

Please note these are not experiments with correct or incorrect answers.

Rejecting the premise is a kind of answer, but often less useful to you than engaging with the premise in good faith.

The Green party has been unapologetically supportive of trans people and they took a seat from Labour after they gave cracked down on trans people. Liberal parties cannot abandon trans people without losing their base.

correct

there is no reason for a single one of them to vote for Mullin (yes, Mr. Fetterman, that means you) and they should make this as embarrassing as possible - which, given Mullin’s extensive track record of putting his foot in his mouth, shouldn’t even be that hard

The thing that about child safety online is that it is going in the exact wrong direction.

As a kid I had it drilled into me that I was never to disclose my real name, location, age or other identifiable information so that people couldn't groom me.

But that's hard on marketers, so.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Hi! Do you think Tucker Carlson β€œhas a point”? Do think Platner platforming Holocaust deniers isn’t really a big deal? Do you think the β€œEpstein class” is short for β€œgood w/ $$”? Well, my pal @kathrynajoyce.bsky.social and I wrote an article just for you! inthesetimes.com/article/form...

This is alarming.

Was ICE targeting a journalist? One in particular who had covered their detention activities in Nashville?
