I’m sure MAHA will be fine with this. I bet Alex Jones won’t even start talking about gay frogs again. Those antivaxxers won’t even be concerned with mentioning how their food is impure and full of chemicals. They’ll all magically be onboard with teen testicular cancer in the name of Trump.

My phone is doing all the same things from 2015 with only minimal benefits. The only reason we have to upgrade is increased software bloat.

We should actually just have phones that last 15 years now.

So, of trans children starting HRT, more than 98% stay on it, and of the small fraction that don't, over half identify as nonbinary. Less than 1% go “nah, turns out I'm cis.” From an N of four fucking hundred. Why the hell are we making children run a gauntlet? Some asshole's political career?
A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... & of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Trans care saves lives.

This is terrible, and I also hope readers will note the article’s sidebar list of things ICE *is* (& always has been) Legally Allowed to detain and imprison people for— and ask themselves how many of those offenses really warrant imprisonment &/or expulsion from the country
ICE detained Katie, a British woman in the final stages of her green card process, while she was holding her 6 month old son.

She’s married to an American and was following the process, yet at her last immigration meeting they grabbed her.

She’s been detained ever since:

Katie was in the final stages of securing her green card when she was detained.

Also, America doesn’t do slick regime change now, if it ever did. What it does is: it collapses the government then leaves the country to fall into violent anarchy, so that it’s ripe for domination by friendlier countries in the region. You can decide whether that’s by accident or design.
Cracks me up how you could just replace Venezuela and Venezuelans with Iraq and Iraqis and it’d be indistinguishable from something written in 2002

At once reportage and public history, "A Theology of Smuggling" by @cetracey.bsky.social traces the work of activists & religious leaders in the 1980s to protect refugees at the U.S./Mexico border—direct action that galvanized the Sanctuary Movement.

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency
Kempsville High School assistant principal charged for threats against police, ICE
Virginia Beach assistant principal John Bennett and Mark Bennett charged for conspiring threats against police and ICE agents. Both are held without bond.

Read the thread. The enshitification of Gmail continues a pace.

You can turn it off, but it removes the tabs/categories. You can reenable them but only by manually setting them up yourself.

Seems like it's time to seek out a new email solution...
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.

This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.
