Ahem the guy who invented the term "evidence based medicine" just rebuked the most prominent anti-trans health lobby group in the world www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine. He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews. Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care. Great coverage from Henry carnell.

“There are people who have real benefits [from this care],” said Guyatt. “To deny it to people, to make people suffer unnecessarily, that’s another type of harm.” Well, when you lose the godfather of evidence-based medicine... @hencarnell.bsky.social has an incredible report. Check it out:

For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine. Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)

This was a great interview and a fascinating read. I had never heard of Hasan Piker before (I’d hardly heard of Pike), but he is incredibly thoughtful.

VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: The progressive streaming icon Hasan Piker spoke with @juliametraux.bsky.social and @samveep.bsky.social about how to be “honest about the role that Charlie Kirk played.” "It’s a dishonest assessment to refuse to reckon with some of those opinions that he was very proud of." WATCH

VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: Hasan Piker on Charlie Kirk and the need for "radical empathy." @juliametraux.bsky.social and I spoke with uber-popular progressive streamer just 48 hours after Kirk's death about everything from his own safety to content vs. debate to how we can course correct from this moment.

“The first interaction that many…have with Charlie Kirk is going to be, from these reputable institutions, a completely whitewashed perspective.” My colleague @samveep.bsky.social and I spoke with Hasan Piker for @motherjones.com this morning. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

good god this is crazy to watch side by side

yes, exactly! because having an efficient, affordable, extensive public transit system instead of robotaxis is what it means to fall behind.

Such a good piece from @annamerlan.bsky.social "What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism."

new neighbor just dropped off vegetables from her garden in the back of my new building!! 🥹

Even Taylor Swift—one of the most famous and wealthiest women in the world—can’t escape MAGA logic: Women only achieve their full value when they’re wifed up and having kids.

NEW @motherjones.com: MAGA hopes Taylor Swift will inspire a new generation of trad wives 🤡 "Submit to your husband, Taylor," Charlie Kirk said today. Anti-abortion leaders say they hope she'll inspire more women to marry But Swift herself once sang: “No deal / The 1950s shit they want from me” 😆⤵️

New: We just published a video featuring parts of our interview with Neri Alvarado, who spent more than 4 months in CECOT after the Trump administration falsely accused him of being a gang member. As you can see in the video, his largest tattoo is an autism awareness ribbon.

There’s a lone Trump counter protester at the Texas capital, asleep at the wheel.

Rep. Jon E Rosenthal just took the stand and called out his colleagues for not listening.

I’m currently sitting in the Texas state House gallery as a line of Democrats stand up to speak on the new congressional maps proposed by House Republicans. While they give impassioned speeches on the consequences of maps like this, Republican lawmakers are looking bored, barely listening.

I got my own apartment today 🥰😁

"A MAGA occupation of a left-leaning city." If you look closer at what's happening on the streets of LA and DC, you'll see this is more than just "fighting crime"—it's a politically partisan occupation. @dfriedman.bsky.social reports on what's happening in the streets of DC.

Pete Hegseth boosting Christian extremist Doug Wilson's CNN interview is no surprise. @kieraevebutler.bsky.social reported on this last year!! And as her and I lay out in this video... his comments are far from the most terrifying belief surrounding powerful people like Hegseth, and yes, JD Vance.

Conquered lord status on Scarlet, Emma, Mantis, Sue, and Johnny... and now I'm hopping through people trying to find my next main—but I don't know who to pick!!

LBJ signed Voting Rights Act 60 years ago today. It ended Jim Crow & transformed American democracy But now country’s most important civil rights law under attack from every angle, from Texas Republicans to Supreme Court. This is 5 alarm fire for democracy www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

the internet wants "names" of epstein's circle. but they've been circulating for years—and we get into some of the more prominent ones found in his address book. including donald trump. (which is circled for some reason??)

NEW: A whistleblower reveals what's really happening at US-funded Gaza aid sites. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyNu...

History is not going to be kind to this moment. And it is entirely deserved.

This clip...I have no words. Gaza Humanitarian Fund whistleblower Anthony Aguilar describes ordering pizzas for their site while Palestinians starve.

ICYMI: @motherjones.com partnered with @france24.com to publish an incredible interview with a whistleblower who claims the US-funded Gaza Humanitarian Fund and its contractors are engaging in "abhorrent" bahavior. The video he provided is wild—and the pizza story... just wow. Check it out:

New policies—from a "green" government—have slowed the adoption of a widely popular green technology. What gives? My latest dives into "cost shift," Gavin Newsom's shenanigans, and how utilities are responding to renewables.

Police said there wasn’t enough evidence to link her attack to the Golden State Killer’s spree. But records show a footprint—same size, same shoe—matching those found at other confirmed GSK crime scenes. And get this: he was arrested just minutes away from where she was attacked. New video from me:

Vin Diesel I have a proposition for you

obsessed is an understatement—how do you manage to bring up transgender people in a briefing about putin and ukraine? weirdos (it doesn't make any sense in context of the briefing either fwiw)

I have really devastating news... I'm back in the US :(

Bonjour!!!!

bye london!! off to paris today!! 🕺

Checking in from Amsterdam! 🥰

Headed into my second day in Amsterdam! Spent yesterday walking 12+ miles around the city to get a feel for it. My friends fly in today and then the fun really begins 🕺😎

Later USA! I’m taking a break from the 24 hour news cycle to do some travels across Europe to rest and experience something else for the next 4 weeks. If you have any recommendations for Amsterdam, Paris, London, or Berlin I wanna hear them ☺️

Photos show police clashing with No Kings protesters in Los Angeles. Protesters could be heard yelling “drop your guns,” “shame on you” and “your neighbors will know what you’re doing.” See photo gallery → www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti... 📸: @stephenlamphoto.bsky.social / S.F. Chronicle

I’m very curious to see how the #NoKings protest attendance stacks up with the 2017 Women’s March attendance!

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Today I asked protesters in New York City: "What are you worried America is turning into?" Their answers were poignant, and defiant. Watch the video I took (edited by masterful @peter-berger.bsky.social).

It’s really funny and quite poetic watching how sad and pathetic the vibes are at the weirdo military parade compared to the color, laughter, and love at the #NoKings protests.

Watsonville, CA, showing up for #NoKings! Watsonville is one of California’s central communities of farm workers and immigrants, and has recently experienced ICE agents out in the streets and fields. These young women are dancing while holding pictures of their immigrant loved ones.

I am here in beautiful downtown Oakland California for the gigantic #nokings march through downtown. Grabbing a spot with signal to share pics and conversations with folks I’ve met.

Santa Cruz, CA, where hundreds (if not many, many more) are gathered outside the courthouse for #NoKings day! California coast STRONG 💪
