If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.

It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

You guys really need to develop the capacity of simultaneously holding the truth that the colonialist occupation and genocide of Palestine is unacceptable AND violent antisemitism is real

Both are true

#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵

I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

When Texas tried to steal 5 seats, I said to watch the litigation my law firm had filed because we had a good chance of winning in court. Today a federal court BLOCKED THE MAP.

A reminder that these fuckos can’t do shit without our talent and if you work for google you should reconsider it.
NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials.

also not to be this guy but the Heritage Foundation was CLEAR that one of their goals in Project 2025 is to criminalize "pornography," the people who make it and the people who distribute it.

And remember porn here is used VERY broadly to mean anything with LGBTQ content.

So defend porn.

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color

Every queer press org should be picking up this story

State and city laws prohibit local police departments from turning people over to ICE. That restriction does not apply to the federally run Amtrak Police Department.

Take your Kimmel protest energy and use it to freeze out that hateful JKR too!

Maybe HP was a part of your childhood. Well now it's a slap in the face and a dagger in the back of people who just wanna live.

Don't let her see a dime!
Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,
If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST LET US HAVE A FEW MOMENTS OF HOPE

Do y’all not understand how hope is active? How it is motivating? How it drives people to fight?

If you try to stamp out every last ray of hope and every good moment and every tiny bit of happiness you have truly doomed us all.
There’s a certain type of poster that seems to think it’s helpful to stamp out anything hopeful in the name of being realistic about how bad things are.

Don’t be that poster.

We know how bad things are. But for most of us, hope helps a lot more than your cynicism.

Rebellions are built on hope…

I think all the time these days about how the supervillain-ification of the Nazis in media has done us all a dangerous disservice. They were a bunch of weird losers who everyone laughed at until they were in power
i will die on the hill that the original Nazis were just as silly as our modern versions. Hitler based his plans for the invasion of Russia partly on cowboy novels written by a con-man.
