It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.

"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Fox that Senator Padilla was not arrested. She added that law enforcement officers started to handcuff him but stopped after they were made aware of who he was."

This stand-alone item is inaccurate, @nytimes.com. In the widely viewed video Padilla loudly and clearly identifies himself from the beginning.

The whole trans girls in sports discussion is absolutely being used to propagandize people into being transphobic bellends.

In K-12, the number of trans girls in sports is five.
In college the number is fewer than ten, according to the NCAA President.

You're being manipulated. Please stop.

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia “In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning.

- <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT.
- The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia.

The latest from S. Baum.

What I think was *really* beneficial about Hands Off is that people need to see (in real life) that they’re not alone.

In-person events and marches can really fill up people’s fighting tanks, so to speak. And this regime has handed us a really really long, tedious, and difficult fight.

The rhetorical victory is this: the proposal that we can and will outlast them.

Today I saw a doctor put a mask on to see us… no asking. He saw a mask, he wore a mask.

Doesn’t sound like much, but it still meant a lot.

Three years ago, three other reporters and I ID'd and called any school accused of having litter boxes for furries.

We found one (1) in the entire country: Columbine's school district.

Cat litter was for a "go bucket," in case kids were locked in during a shooting.

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

Just a reminder that the HPV vaccine literally PREVENTS CANCER and the series can be started as early as 9 years of age.

On a day like this, it’s important to say THANK YOU to all the science and public health communicators for all you do. Your work will be even more critical in the coming years. Keep going! You are very much needed and appreciated. ❤️

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it.

Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on.

Making this my pinned post.

Got a library card today and feel very much reassured in my belief that few things are as much bang for buck as library cards.

I get not only free books but I get access to paywalled newspapers, and a "library of things" where I can check out soldering irons or hobby telescopes!

Hooray libraries!

A lot of people reply to moments like this by saying “they won’t stop with trans people” but…what if they do? That doesn’t make this less violent and evil. While you may not be intending to say so, there is an underlying implication there that the *real* violence is still to come. And that’s not ok.

Reminder: #RFKJr is not a medically trained professional. His opinions about how to treat depression, ADHD, substance use disorder, prevent infections in children, manage miscarriage/abortion or any other health issue should be roundly dismissed. He does not know what he is talking about.

The Trump White House has backed down and rescinded their memo shutting off funds to key programs for Americans.

This means they're vulnerable, and their vulnerability is everyday people finding out how their lives will be hurt by Trump's actions.

That's the path forward.

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.
