Isn’t this the same deal Biden and Harris brokered before they left office?

9. In an era where legacy journalism is curated by those who it should hold to account, skepticism is essential, especially when the story is about the trans community.

8. After a recent company merger, Paramount Skydance Corporation—which owns CBS—is now eyeing an acquisition of Paramount, the parent company of HBO, which is the streaming service that carries John Oliver’s show.

7. In an email to Oliver’s team, the mother of that trans youth said, “I’ve been fighting for the truth about that damn Free Press article for a while.”

6. But the majority of patients say the opposite. Reed brazenly mischaracterized the experiences of trans kids and their families, revealing personal data about their medical history in their process (although she did not identify patients by name, many were able to identify their cases).

5. The Free Press has also published other anti-trans hits like an essay from Reed’s spouse: “I Spent 13 Years Living as a Man. But After My Spouse’s Exposé, I’m Detransitioning.” archive.is/ZmMcS

4. The former case manager at Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital wrote a since-debunked Free Press article that “jumpstarted the legislative push to outlaw gender-affirming care for minors,” as per the Missouri Independent.

3. Weiss stepped down as a conservative opinion editor/columnist for The New York Times and launched The Free Press in 2021. In trans advocacy circles, Weiss might be best known for birthing the anti-trans activist career of Jamie Reed in 2023. www.mediamatters.org/bari-weiss/t...

2. “She’s been given editorial control of a massive news organization, even though she’s never run a TV network, has no experience directing television coverage, and as one 60 Minutes producer pointed out, is not even a reporter,” Oliver said. Watch his segment here:

1. Last night, John Oliver destroyed Bari Weiss and specifically called out her inaccurate and targeted coverage of transgender people. It's the latest of several shows Oliver has done in defense of trans people. Weiss at CBS is a disaster for trans people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

9. California may still pass progressive legislation, but leadership is measured not by symbolic gestures—it’s measured by the courage to act when it matters. And when it came to the bill that could have made the most tangible difference for trans people this year, Gavin Newsom failed that test.

8. SB 418 would have been a critical backstop for trans Californians facing care disruptions. Under the Trump administration’s ongoing campaign of extortion, several clinics in the state have shut down programs for trans patients under 19yo, abruptly cutting off access to hormone therapy access.

7. A nearly identical law already exists in Washington, where HB 1971 passed earlier this year with broad bipartisan support—including several Republicans. The measure, like California’s SB 418, allows patients to receive a 12-month refill of prescribed hormone therapy.

6. There’s also little evidence to support Newsom’s justification. Hormone therapy is among the least expensive forms of prescription medication. Generic estradiol tablets often cost under $20 for a 90-day supply, and testosterone modestly higher, but still in the low-priced generic tier.

5. In his veto message, Newsom cited concerns about rising healthcare costs for other Californians, writing, "Prohibiting this cost containment strategy is likely to result in an increase in enrollee premiums to offset costs incurred by health plans and insurers.” It's a familiar refrain.

4. The bill, SB 418, passed with huge majorities, with 60 votes for it and 18 against in the California assembly, and 29 votes for it and 10 against in the California Senate. The bill would mandate that insurers and pharmacists dispense 12 months of hormone therapy for those prescribed.

3. Newsom rejected a bill that would have allowed transgender people—and anyone using HRT—to maintain a 12-month supply of their medication, a backstop to protect access amid federal crackdowns and disruptions. The bill would have also amended healthcare laws to explicitly protect gender identity.

2. Yesterday, California Gov. Newsom signed a slate of pro-LGBTQ+ bills, earning quick praise from supporters who heralded the move as evidence of his commitment to equality. But buried beneath was a quieter, far more consequential act: a veto on an important protection bill for the trans people.

1. Yesterday, the press gave Gavin Newsom favorable coverage for signing pro-LGBTQ+ bills. Little noticed, however, was that he vetoed one of the most important ones: a bill allowing trans people 12 month HRT stockpiles, protecting them from federal threats. Subscribe to support our journalism.

While he's mostly known for his posters for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, and The Muppets, he also did dozens of beautiful posters for others. His entire legay is worth checking out. His works alone can make you feel like that movie is going to be something special.

The greatest thing about Drew Struzan is that he reminded us about something that is generally taken for granted, and that's the artistry that goes into making movie posters. You never see this level of craftsmanship anymore because it is agreed that peaked with him. He truly was a legendary artist.

First the Trump regime fired 1,300 CDC workers. Then it rehired about half of them. Those who remain fired include key officials working on injury and violence prevention and crucial health statistics. This hurts federal workers and puts us all at risk in a public health emergency.

I'm an ISFP which means I'm better than anyone that starts with an E and also I can say stuff like that without sounding J because I'm a P so suck it

It finally got cold and rainy out here in Los Angeles. They were hyping it up yesterday like it could be really dangerous, even saying tornadoes were a possibility. I'm not sure about that, looking at it right now, but it's definitely a big shift in weather either way.

Freedom of Press... Trump refuses to take questions from ABC News in "retribution for George Stephanopoulos’ interview with JD Vance".

Thank you, Drew Struzan. If you've never seen how a master creates a masterpiece, check out this three-minute segment. Machines can try to crap out fake images in his style, but nothing beats a true artist elevating his craft. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKMt...

‘KPOP DEMON HUNTERS’ creator Maggie Kang says she doesn’t think a live-action remake would work. “There’s so many elements of the tone and the comedy that are so suited for animation” (Source: www.bbc.com/news/article...)

The funny part is they're trying to make the guy most directly responsible for Charlie Kirk's death fuckable.

The thing media outlets like GQ fail to understand is that things changed. It's not like Richard Spencer. You're not loaning them your credibility. They're destroying yours. It doesn't grow back. You're gonna pretend like you never published this one day, and it's going to be pathetic.

(also funny that nikole’s post is just a straightforward statement of fact!)

also i know why they are accusing me and nikole of antisemitism

incredible to see one of my posts on fox news

From the looks of the pic, Alex Jones is spending all those judgment assets on booze.

Pardon me if I delay celebrating this vile cretin losing until those poor Sandy Hook families he victimized for cheap publicity see all of the cash. I don't trust him for a second. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sup...

hug.

i mean when you're running against authoritarians every time it's kinda the only possible strategy
