BREAKING: A judge refused to block a Kansas law that invalidates the driver’s licenses of transgender people and allows trans people to be sued for using public restrooms.

This isn't the final say, and we will keep fighting in court to stop this discriminatory law.

There is no hope for the large conglomerates, but I really hope all the people who listened to the bullshit about how the continued flow of fossil fuels into this country was way more dependable than *checks notes* the sun rising every day take note.

The FaceMaskStore has almost run out of all their size small FFP3 masks - many are expiring in a couple of months, from those they still have - and from their answers, I do not think they are going to restock small sizes.
For women, on average, PPE rarely fits appropriately. Size small was helping.

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.

The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.

It’s time for accountability.

Where Have All the Long COVID Clinics Gone? A nationwide survey reveals the uncertain state of specialized care for Americans living with the chronic condition

In 2022, I counted more than 400 healthcare centers in the U.S. offering Long COVID care. @delfimarchese.bsky.social followed up three years later, and found many of them have closed... or at least failed to respond to our inquiries.

Unpopular opinion: I legitimately despise the "Lindsey Graham is a self hating closeted gay/trans person" takes.

It blames an already marginalized group for the actions of a cishet white man with enormous privilege and plays into a right wing narrative of queer people being violent.

OUR FRIEND IS FACING A TRIAL IN JUNE REGARDING THE CUSTODY OF THEIR YOUNG CHILDREN. THE CASE AGAINST THEM IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT THEIR PRIMARY FORM OF INCOME IS SEX WORK.

BECAUSE OF THIS PRECEDENT, THEIR LAWYER FEELS VERY CONFIDENT THEY WILL WIN THEIR UPCOMING CASE.

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.
