Weโ€™re proud to partner with Mattel to help create the first-ever autistic Barbie! Autism looks lots of different ways - we're glad to have the chance to represent some of them, and to highlight some of those that are underrepresented in toys.

BREAKING: Jeff Bezosโ€™ ex-wife has made a โ€œtransformationalโ€ donation to the LGBTQ+ advocacy group. This large gift comes just months after the Trump administration shut down counseling services for queer youth.

Highlights from this crazy story we just put out-

- One of the incarcerated women has a lawyer who has spent his time misgendering his client to random social media users.

- The government's case relies on an "antifa expert" who recently suggested support for drone striking weed smokers in the US.
Two trans women have faced torture, bigotry and horrific conditions since arrested as part of the infamous Prairieland crackdown on anti-ICE protest.

They tell TNN about surviving behind bars, as @thefreeradical.org delves into the absurd attack on "antifa" that's just about criminalizing dissent:
Two U.S. Trans Political Prisoners Recount Torture, Misgendering, Human Rights Violations After Texas ICE Protest Crackdown
Two trans women arrested in an absurd โ€œantifaโ€ crackdown face political prosecution for their beliefs. Experts warn itโ€™s a sign of growing authoritarianism in the U.S.

"ICE agents suck and should be prosecuted, and ICE should have its funding cut" is now the majority sensible moderate centrist popularist abundance third way blah blah blah position.

Anyone who says otherwiseโ€”as many 'data-driven' 'liberal' pundits still doโ€”is really just MAGA without the hat.
This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

(Gen X are the last generation to experience an improvement in their circumstances as they turned the corner from middle age and head towards retirement)
Gen X is at +5 support for ICE while millennials are at -25.

Is this at all related to the United States banning lead paint in houses in 1978?
Some interesting stuff in the cross-tabs.

Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."
