9. The message from Democratic voters is not subtle. Abandoning transgender people does not win you new supporters—but it may win you an uphill primary challenge you are likely to lose.

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States. snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack...

It’s live! Our #AnnualReview2026 is out now. This year’s findings are stark. What started as attacks on LGBTI communities has evolved into something much broader. The full picture is now public. Read, share, and use it 👉 ilga-europe.org/report/annual-review-2026/

New Zealand is the latest country to ban conversion practices. This vile abuse must be stopped everywhere, LGBTQI people do not need a cure. This week, I raised the issue in Parliament & wrote to our Govt again, asking for UK legislation to be brought forward now. #BanConversionPractices #LGBTHM

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Our nation was founded on standing up to government tyranny. What the hell does she think the Boston Massacre and the Tea Party were all about?

🇺🇳 UN vs Trump’s “Board of Peace” UN Deputy Spokesperson said, “The Board of Peace has been authorized by the Security Council for its work on Gaza — strictly for that. We’re not talking about the wider operations or any of the aspects that have been in the media for the last several days...

I have not. Again, I highly discourage people from doing this. Try to imagine a scenario where pulling that trigger does not result in the destruction of many of your neighbors' lives: observers, residents, bystanders. You can't. As good as you might feel what comes after will be 100 times worse

Was es auch gab: Überschriften wie „Ausgerechnet Minneapolis wird nun erneut zum Symbol für ein zerrissenes Amerika“ („Welt“ mit Bezug darauf, dass auch George Floyd dort ermordet wurde) oder „Tödliche Schüsse, entzweites Land“ („Süddeutsche Zeitung“). (1/x) www.mdr.de/altpapier/da...

Bitte an alle Journos hierzulande, von der ARD-Hörfunk-Korrespondentin, die davon spricht, der Schütze solle im Krankenhaus behandelt worden sein, bis hin zu denen, die Trump und andere aus seinem Team zitieren - schaut Euch dieses Video/diese Analyse an und überlegt, wie Ihr formuliert.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

#BestOf2025, from @candicebernd.bsky.social: Approximately 40 crypto-mines are operating in the state in 2025, together consuming about 3,200 MWs, enough to power 800,000 homes. The 15 largest operations each consume more than 75 MWs of energy.

Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise. It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

9. For more scientific and culturally competent ways of covering trans issues, reporters can consult the Trans Journalists Association’s Stylebook and Coverage Guide—a tool for newsrooms to bolster their coverage of trans people and the stories that affect them. styleguide.transjournalists.org

2. Following a contentious newsroom battle at the BBC over allegations of political bias, it seems the media empire has given way to transphobic rhetoric—canonizing anti-trans talking points in one of the world’s most influential news outlets.

1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman. This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

So I was invited to accept an award for "imagination in service to society." This forced me to think a bit about what "imagination," "service" and "society" mean to me. Here's the speech I delivered last night: buttondown.com/charliejane/...
