The Coming Out of a Transgender Scientist "I know that I am making the right decision because whenever I think about changing my gender role, I am flooded with feelings of relief."

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it β€” and his memory β€”Β alive.

Amazing how quiet you are about the pro-gaza students getting their visa revoked

They have Kompromate on Chuck, there can be no other explanation

They have Kompromate against Schumer, i see no other explanation, expose it. He is another one who has fallen, like Lindsey Graham.

It’s good to see people mobilizing. Find a group near you that’s taking steps to fight what’s going on. Join. Help out as you can.

I will call it: "Death of Democracy foretold." Don't worry, it will be playful like GGM's novel, despite the seriousness of the matter. Very excited! n/n

People are warned that such and such are going to kill someone, but nobody takes it seriously...the murder is foretold in both the story and the narrative structure 3/n

But I wasn't sure what my set up would be. For those who have not read it (i suggest you do, it is my all time favorite novel) it follows a crime, backwards, a little like the movie momento. 2/n

Please listen, my dear literary fans, i've been dreaming of writing a novel immitating the structure of 'Chronicle of a death Foretold' by GGM 1/n

On the other side of the coin, the progressive Democrats said Kamala couldn't win, Democrats didn't listen. Part of it is on them!

I wish Democratic leadership and the press would be as alarmist and motivated about actual fascism as the GOP has been about imagined communism all these years.

For this to work the legal system must still be in working order (lawful) by time this gets to court.

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

If you’ve been wondering what Elon Musk and his lackeys are up to since taking control of the US government, look no further. Our latest story names six 19- to 24-year-olds working with his DOGE organization, which now has access to sensitive federal systems. wrd.cm/4jzpiSN
