I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

I'd have not consented to having sex with a few ppl had I known what a prick they were behind lies and deception.

If I or any other woman took this to the cops we would be laughed at and called a slag for not being careful who we open our legs to.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is sparking debate with claims linking circumcision and Tylenol to autism, but scientists say the evidence is lacking.

Here’s what the science actually says:

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

Good news for transgender people at MIT.

Unlike some prestigious universities, MIT has defied the Trump administration and refused its attempt to pressure the university into banning transgender people from bathrooms.

The latest from reporter S. Baum.

Like how can we have endless pieces about fucking dissertation plagiarism and not one about "the spokesperson for DHS tells specific, easily-disproven lies constantly to provide cover for serious crimes against the public" how is that not a big deal? Do I have to write this shit myself?!?!?

Tricia Mclaughlin again with these absurd little-kid lies!!! "The local news producer was throwing things at border patrol" how is it not a scandal that the mouthpiece of dhs is this much of a lunatic

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."
Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

 

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer. 

 

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”

The nyt is locked arm in arm w Bari Weiss who cited a hoax “official antifa” Twitter account in an embarrassing piece it pubbed in ‘18. The times had to put an editor’s note on that but has apparently doubled down on this falsehood.
karlbode.com
you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate
NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

It's unfortunate to me that a lot of the LGBTQ+ neighborhoods across Texas are only now getting coverage because of the rainbow crosswalk removal stuff. It's important, but these communities deserve coverage, not just when something negative happens.

STORY SOURCE CALL: I’m looking for Brown University-affiliated trans/gnc people (especially trans/gnc alumni, students, staff) and any others who feel affected by the university’s transphobic actions and are interested in speaking with me for a potential upcoming reported piece. (If you’ve not read them already, check out my Boston Globe op-ed blasting the university’s administration, as well as my Assigned Media essay about my time as a closeted trans student back when.) For those who want to share their stories and are concerned for whatever reason, you can request anonymity if you like in your initial email. Please write me via my contact form.

OF COURSE, Less Streeting and the mid wizard book bigot are agreed.

No word about the violence against innocent trans people being plotted by the "feminists" inside the building.

No word about the violence you, @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social have personally visited upon innocent trans people! 🤬

Wes Streeting@wess.... 17m Ø This kind of violent direct action is disgraceful. It is designed to intimidate people - in this case women - into silence and it must not be allowed to happen with impunity.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

I encourage ppl to ignore such tawdry stories alleging unthinkable sexual immorality. Even if true, repentance and god's forgiveness can erase any sin, even that of a trans person who chooses to have sex with a Republican.

ADVOCATES FOR TRANS EQUALITY

Dear Corinne,

One year ago, two of the nation's leading trans rights organizations merged to create Advocates for Trans Equality. In just twelve months, we have built a unified voice for our community, strengthened the movement for trans equality, and connected with thousands of supporters and allies. None of this would have been possible without people like you who believe that every trans person deserves dignity, equality, and opportunity.

MIT rejects "compact" proposed by the Trump administration.
MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."
