Cops used 83,000 cameras to track a single abortion patient — on her abuser’s tip.

100% The way this story was reported was... irresponsible and reprehensible.

There's plenty of complexity to the story of Ian Roberts, the Black Iowa superintendent arrested by ICE. But the way the @nytimes.com chose to frame this article is racist and shameful. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/u...

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

To be clear, ADF cooked up a case with fake facts, distorted medical research and fabricated harms to be able to gain the constitutional right to torture LGBTQ children. That's what they want to do, to torture LGBTQ youth. slate.com/news-and-pol...

lol

…

The two most cynical people I've ever known are both in the news today. One of them, you've no doubt heard, is taking over CBS News. The other is this guy:

NEW: Christian legal group Alliance Defending Freedom "deceived" the Supreme Court + "profoundly misrepresented" LGBTQ+ research, according to scholars cited by ADF. Quoted experts speak out about ADF's "distortions" + "false evidence" in major case, on deck tomorrow, to revive "conversion therapy"

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says: "Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

From the people who brought you a fake case in 303 Creative and still got the justices to bulldoze protections for queer people………

If you have a trans kid, as a parent the one thing you want more than anything else in the world is to ease their pain. I was glad when my son transitioned because he became a much happier person. Any parent who tries to inflict pain on their child must be stopped. It’s that simple.

The only thing you really need to remember about Chiles v. Salazar is that ADF couldn't find any children harmed by not being able to find counselors who will practice conversion therapy— so they rely on anonymous complaints on Reddit. It's a fucking joke.

I've been writing about the war on drugs for more than 20 years. There are some cases that have stuck with me -- names that have never left my head. For the last couple years, I've been working with The Intercept on a podcast to tell their stories. It launches in a week.

The ADL thought it could fall in line with Musk and it would stop his attacks on them. Instead, it just made them complicit, legitimized Musk, and ultimately didn’t actually change him at all. This is how fascists work. Greenblatt tried being transactional: for fascists, it only goes one way.

if there’s one thing that’s good for morale it’s summoning your workforce from around the globe to call them fat in person

this is my shocked face 😑

If you're a student at Angelo State University (or know one!!) with thoughts on the school's new policy barring discussions of transgender identity in classrooms, I'd love to talk to you for a story I'm working on. DM me on here, or find me on Signal at kissphoria.57

Patel is basically admitting on camera that the FBI no longer adheres to the Attorney General Guidelines, which prohibits investigating U.S. persons based solely on First Amendment activity (including membership in a group).

Scoop: Trump lost the legal battle over halting the offshore Revolution Wind project after Orsted, its developer, brought reams of evidence to court alleging the government was lying about military security concerns. It’s a sign truth can empower companies Trump targets. Via @heatmap.news

Totally outrageous, but/and thanks Ramsey Khalifeh for this reporting. gothamist.com/news/cruisin...

The most extreme example I've come up with is in #WESTVIRGINIA, where a 64-yr old couple earning $84,601/yr would go from paying $599/mo to $4,898/mo. That's over EIGHT TIMES as much as they're paying today. (The example here is based on them earning $90K): acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...

yes

Republicans don't want debate or compromise, they want trans people eradicated. That's the simple truth, they've openly stated that is their intent. Stop acting like this is a debate about tax policy.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

“We are indeed going to have to live with each other, barring apocalyptic violence—but we already have been for quite some time, and doing so has not required revisionist history of the sort we are now witnessing about one Charles James Kirk in particular.”

think of the cathartic joy we could experience if we could look each other in the eyes and know that we were all doing what we could to stop genocide and oppression from continuing, in our own individual, little - and collective, massive - ways.

Make sure you contact your senators here - Democrats control whether or not a budget with anti-trans provisions passes. There are many that would devastate the trans community. www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

And here's @theresagaff.bsky.social interviewing Gordon Guyatt (profiled in @motherjones.com story) - so critical to give context to what 'low certainty' or 'quality' evidence actually means and how commonplace it is in medicine www.statnews.com/2025/09/22/e...

the state of texas pulled a 13-year-old trans boy out of class and subjected him to the same questioning that kids get when they're molested because his parents accepted him. it's what's happening, and it shouldn't be considered activism to say it. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/...

This is such an important read from @davidkurtz.bsky.social Trump’s Retribution Requires a New Way of Covering Bogus Criminal Cases talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

critical reporting from @hencarnell.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Research conducted by @transjournalists.org “identified 43 outlets including the Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and The Daily Beast running with the disproven stories of a ‘trans shooter’ and ‘trans bullets.’”

NEW: LGBT+ rights leaders held an "emergency" briefing today on reports that Trump may "weaponise" the FBI against trans people. "We need every elected official to sound the alarm with us... to confront the lies that put trans Americans in danger," one said. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I looked into the group and the guy pushing the FBI to create a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism”—itself a political project, meant to conflate the fact of trans people’s existence with extremism.

A crackdown on gay cruising inside the Penn Station bathroom by the federal Amtrak Police has landed one person in ICE custody. Amtrak Police, unlike the NYPD, are not bound by local sanctuary protections. www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/24/a...

see how settled science suddenly gets turned into something unclear as soon as conservatives make it a political issue? this has happened on dozens of issues.

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity. "To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

i've been studying the right-wing for over a decade what is happening now in online right-wing spaces is fucking me up in ways that i'm currently unprepared for and don't know how to cope with

I wrote this a few months ago using data from @mapresearch.bsky.social. The piece also evaluated why there's been less pushback to bathroom bans in the decade since North Carolina's HB 2. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...

So proud to be representing these courageous patients in their first-in-the-country lawsuit against a medical system for stopping gender affirming care for those under 19.

👇

so the Economist article isn't attributed an author. but someone in the replies of this 🧵 tipped me off that it was Jəsse Singal. & it turns out that it was, which in retrospect isn't surprising (as he's one of the ppl who would never answer this question):

Even down to how they exploit the changes in diagnostic criteria to suggest there's some "contagion" or "epidemic." What those changes actually point to is a move away from a model of suppression to a model of acceptance, and that's what actually terrifies them

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us. More on Trump’s false claims with @lenasun.bsky.social

So many crazy details in Ben Terris's story about Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski, who we can confirm are not only dating but running DHS together: nymag.com/intelligence...

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

Yeah, today is a great example of that thing where you see a newspaper article about something you're an expert in and tut about how it's riddled with inaccuracies, then go on reading the rest of the paper, trusting everything else it says.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.
