Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

#Juneteenth is Black and trans! Today I’m taking a moment to reflect and honor all of those who have paved the way for our freedom.

You're afraid I might say something mean on bluesky.

I'm afraid they'll murder me or bomb my gender clinic.

We are not the same.

🔥 Top Campaigns, Last 24 Hours:

1️⃣ “Demand Noem's resignation for abusing power, violating civil liberties” (+2,266)
2️⃣ “No war with Iran!” (+2,018)
3️⃣ “NO public land sell off. Strike that section from the budget bill” (+481)

It's worth reflecting today on what it took to end legal chattel slavery in the US.

And it's worth remembering that the work stoppages of enslaved workers in the south crippled the Confederacy and were the largest and most effective labor action in US history.

After Getting The Ruling It Wanted, New York Times Publishes 6 Anti-Trans Articles The paper has lost all claim to objectivity on transgender people.

1. After the Skrmetti decision, the New York Times has published 6 articles dancing on the graves of trans youth and spreading disinformation on care.

It was cited 7 times in the ruling.

"'I think they genuinely want to take away rights for trans people and kill trans people,' Strangio said in a round-table discussion with other advocates."

An Arkansas legislator privately acknowledged to "family policy" groups that trans kids would die after these bans, and they would be blamed:

"Some advocates fear that Skrmetti could open the door to banning medical transition for adults and perhaps other health care that some conservatives oppose, like birth control or in vitro fertilization - even vaccines."

Well, that's the trans-cis shared impact of an extreme right supreme court

@drkaveh.bsky.social Was this me??? Please don’t let me drive you to drink, my partner just thinks it’s funny that all my favorite podcasts are just leftwing dudes talking about current events (he’s an actual recovering alcoholic and now he’s worried about you too)

@socialistdogmom.bsky.social Congrats on the Webby! Much deserved

They ALL need to be echoing this message

Trump officials kill federal research on safer period products over mention of transgender men The study is meant to improve health during menstruation.

Musk has now poured $8.3 million into buying the tie-breaking Wisconsin Supreme Court seat for Brad Schimel. That is vastly more than any other single donor—to eliminate a state-level check on his and Trump's power.

The comments saying this man deserves this treatment because he (or other Palestinians) didn't vote for Harris are infuriating because (a) HE CANNOT VOTE, HE'S NOT A CITIZEN; (b) collective punishment is morally repugnant; (c) genocide is wrong; (d) human rights aren't transactional;

@edzitron.com Thank you so much for bravely calling out the sad degradation of the DC universe in your last Better Offline, it needed to be said!

(In all seriousness thank you for being a trans ally too, love you man.)

I just referred to @iwriteok.bsky.social, @edzitron.com and @kavehmd.bsky.social my “leftist manosphere” and my partner just shook his head sadly at me

Canada Targets Red States In Trade War FAFO, hoser.

U.S. automakers are warning that Trump’s tariffs could shut down factories on both sides of the border. Red states will face massive job losses.

WIC. They are pausing WIC.

That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings *in the same fiscal year.* For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.

Trans people are so truthful, we didn't hesitate to tell this world a truth that a critical mass of people then refused to hear

Major news:

Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth.

It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle"

I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades.

Shameful.

I love being a silly little guy

Meta is now completely censoring searches for the terms "trans" and "transgender" etc. on Threads.

So much for free speech and free expression.

Had a genuinely charming conversation with a NP who misgendered me and then corrected herself and apologized after looking at my chart. It’s not hard to be kind. Like, at all.

Yesterday @nytimes.com ran a piece which mischaracterized how the trans community sees its fight for equal rights through the voices of @transequality.bsky.social. But in my exposè of the paper last year I detailed how anti-trans bias comes right from the top.

I’ve thought a lot about this sort of thing recently, as we’ve seen such a dramatic increase in the amount of homophobic and transphobic things being said and done publicly. Destabilizing is the right word. It makes you redraw the boundaries of where and who you thought were safe
