A government that can officially declare that Jesus is your savior can just as easily declare the opposite.
Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

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.

Real wages (after inflation) were growing at 2.0% last year. Now it’s 0.8% — “clearly playing into what the majority of American households would define as an affordability crisis.”

It's a slippery slope from "illegal aliens" to legal immigrants to naturalized citizens to people whose parents were born somewhere else to anybody who learns a forbidden concept or searches for the wrong phrase on the internet.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Utah, like many states, desperately needs more power -- demand is rising rapidly. But its hard-right legislature is busy passing bills meant to stifle solar power.

Republicans are fucking morons. They can't be trusted with our energy system.

In Utah, solar power accounts for two-thirds of the new projects waiting to connect to the state’s power grid. State Republicans’ hard turn against the energy source mirrors Trump’s hostile approach t...

No one should be fired without just cause. Racially abusing or sexually harassing a customer (or coworker) is quite often a just cause for termination, because we live in a society and people’s actions affect other people. It’s not as simple as “siding with a corporation against a poor racist”

No one’s last moments with a parent should be this horrific especially if you’re 8 years old. Russia must leave Ukraine 🇺🇦 today!
Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil
