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.

Re-upping this piece once more because it was a long time in the making. But also because after he was wrongly accused by media outlets, law firms, and politicians, Silverman deserves to have as many people read about his vindication as possible.
Accusing Jordan Silverman
A D.C. teaching assistant was accused of molesting up to 15 kids. Multiple law enforcement agencies cleared him. But his nightmare was just beginning.

Pierre Poilievre, Canadians don’t need to be lectured on our good farmers by your party who sold the Canadian Wheat Board to the Saudis and who signed the FIPA agreement with China, handcuffing this country for over 30 years. You yourself were in govt, you rage-farming hypocrite.

What possible prior commitment can Poilievre have? He has no job. The by-election IS his job interview. #cdnpoli

Let me fix that for you, @calgaryherald.com:
"A cyclist was killed by the driver of a dump truck, who made a dangerous right turn and ran over him."
He didn't "fall beneath the wheels" on his own 😡. Unsafe right turns are THE biggest danger to cyclists & pedestrians.

@goingwild.bsky.social My neighbour spotted a river otter on the bank of Waskasoo Creek near the Red Deer River. I remembered your CBC story a few years ago that there had been some sightings in Southern Alberta. Any other signs they are moving north?

Federal agents thought they could stay at LA-area hotels. Communities are trying to make sure they can’t — LA Public Press
When federal agents checked into a Pasadena hotel, they didn't expect hundreds of protesters and a day laborers’ band — now the tactic that kicked them out is spreading across LA.

All across America, if you look like you might not belong according to the rightwing extremist regime’s conception of “real America,” you are now at constant risk of being assaulted by these masked thugs tasked with purging the nation.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A.
After realizing he’s American, they just slink away.
Their only explanation: “Why were you running?”
Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.
