This was the worst fucking podcast I have ever come across. They had to go to Europe to find an adult trans person who transitioned as a kid who was willing to speak with them.

Huh. You'd think a comprehensive 6 episode audio investigation of youth gender medicine by a major US newspaper would include at least one interview with a trans young person or their parent.

We're at 56 years and counting of a GOP-appointed SCOTUS majority, since 1970, and it's effectively self-perpetuating now. When presidential wins alternate near evenly. It doesn't take a partisan preference either way to see how insanely unhealthy that is. It's indefensible on neutral principles.

Why worry whether a case has merit when you can screw your enemies just with an indictment?

i think it is a testament to the inherent radicalism of the reconstruction amendments that the supreme court’s main project with regards to them has been to limit and weaken their impact on american society.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

It's such a breath of fresh air to see @aoc.bsky.social stand against gutting our tax base.

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

A group of trans youth in Boston have organized a letter writing campaign urging the pediatric conference to remove the panel. They've reached almost 11,000 letters sent so far. Add your voice to the effort. Please share. actionnetwork.org/letters/send...

Multiple peer reviewed studies in high impact journals have shown a substantial benefit of gender affirming care for trans youth. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon's penis for "further study" says this care is dangerous. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

the theft, the murder, the audacious destruction of institutions and knowledge built through generations of ceaseless toil. and for no real end but to satisfy the short sighted greed and cruelty of preposterous fools. i struggle with the scale of the damage and how this will echo through the years

It's obscene the level of which this administration has gone after trans youth to make their lives a living hell. The latest attack on care will completely defund any hospital or clinic that provides care to trans youth. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"Jews promote race-mixing among everyone else, to undermine the white race, while protecting their own racial purity" is a quite longtime fascist view about the Jews. It's literally part of Nazi ideology.

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist

We need to be as internationally mobilized as the reactionaries are

It’s true — a catalogue of the internet as it was, and not as it is constantly being re-edited, deleted, paywalled, etc is an invaluable tool. Huge archives of articles and data have disappeared from the internet in the last few years. Keeping the internet archive is critical.

my sign saying we operate under US law has a lot of people asking a lot of questions already answered by the sign

Now 14 months in, Canada’s rejection of the U.S. is the most successful tourism boycott in memory.

That's not what j pilled means, NYT. It's a deeply antisemitic term that means someone is awakened to antisemitic beliefs that Jews secretly run the government and they must be removed from the United States. The NYT is laundering white supremacist terms.

I specifically wrote about how 1st Amendment law is becoming bastardized to ensure trans people lose in the courts regardless of their position.

As a Jewish historian who works at a university, I think it’s great that an administration committed to destroying “the internal globalist enemy” which is staffed by groyper antisemites is collecting lists of Jews. Can’t see any potential downside here at all.

anyone ever noticed how psychotically evil, cruel, and anti-human republicans are

I agree with this. But also, if you're going to watch this anyway, the very least you can do is to not tell me about it, tbh.

This is a specific example of a broader problem in mainstream trans coverage. How things actually work in trans youth healthcare, or all youth healthcare, has been shoved aside to make room for paranoid anti-trans fantasies.

1. The largest medical organization in the United States, the American Medical Association, has reaffirmed that gender affirming care for trans youth is medically necessary. It disavowed the New York Times reporting. Incredible development for trans youth. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

I analyzed over 10 years of anti-trans legislation. Over 330 bills have passed, with ~300 of them in just the last 5 years. There is no precedent in American history for so many bills to target one particular minority group like this in such a short timeframe. www.thedissident.news/the-ratchet/

real quick who came up with the term. who coined it and for what purpose

For the record, the Nazis are spreading terms like “zio” and “zog” into leftist spaces intentionally as an on-ramp to fascism. This is what cryptofascism means. They explicitly talk about doing this on their forums and telegram channels. You’re being played.

You may be inclined to amplify Joe Kent right now because of concerns over the Iran war. Don’t. He’s an extremist with deep ties to Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers who never should have been in this role in the first place (sadly one of many in this administration). 1/

1. The US DOJ is omitting that they *threatened* NYU into their decision to halt these medical treatments. NYU was happily offering services until the threats, & in fact was a leader in this area 2. The DOJ doesn’t seem to understand the distinctions here between state & federal law

I wrote up what the Iran War and crisis in the Strait of Hormuz means for the world. If this continues to spiral, we may be heading for a very different world than the one we currently inhabit. The last bit of normal may be gone for a generation. www.thedissident.news/the-last/

The NYT reported how Dr. Oz held a meeting with Medical orgs and a anti-trans hate group to coerce those groups into backing off their support of trans youth. Jeremy Peters and the NYT framed this shakedown as a reasonable meeting about medical evidence standards. The NYT's bias is clear again.

Under Kansas law, he must use the women's bathroom or be subjected to criminal charges in government owned buildings or $1000 vigilante lawsuits in public spaces. I think everyone can understand why this is absurd and causes more problems than it was ever intended to fix.

I didn't believe this so I looked it up and holy shit, it's true. There is a literal pathway to life imprisonment if a trans person uses the bathroom 4 times in Idaho, if this bill fully passes.

Two anti-trans initiatives have just made it onto the Colorado Ballot, pending any additional challenges. They were backed by political arms of the Catholic Church. The backers called trans people "a plague" Now, they'll go directly to voters. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Mamdani's promised $65m for gender affirming care doesn't appear to be in his preliminary budget. In my first for @prismreports.org, I explored why that might be, and what trans advocates and activists have to say about it. prismreports.org/2026/03/18/m...

"Tucker Carlson (Jeremy Culhane) stops by Weekend Update to discuss how liberal politics have influenced the 2026 Academy Awards." www.youtube.com/watch?v=cssP...

I want to congratulate Taylor on this, it's a huge accomplishment and she's a fantastic attorney. However, Mamdani is clearly using this to deflect from the fact he has done nothing as NYC hospitals violate the law and deny care to trans youth. We want action, not representation.

Horrific. Texas Supreme Court ruled that PFLAGs in Texas have to turn over records related to fleeing the state, contingency plans to get care, doctors lists, and more. Texas has become such a terrifying place for trans people. www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/lgb...

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

Iran's government is more hardline, its people are poorer and more isolated, the region's on fire, and the global economy feels like its about to go into shock If you want to know why people wanted to avoid war with Iran for so long, you're finding out in real time
