NYT headline: With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans: In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.

"It seemed Republicans only wanted to deny health care and segregate children based on eugenics, yet in a shocking turn it seems they want to wipe out the entire population?" Imagine writing about anyone like this, let alone one of the most persecuted communities today. Sickening.

Her posts, flagged by an automated review system, alarmed employees at OpenAI. Internally, about a dozen staffers debated whether to take action on Van Rootselaar’s posts. Some employees interpreted Van Rootselaar’s writings as an indication of potential real-world violence, and urged leaders to alert Canadian law enforcement about her behavior, the people familiar with the matter said.

Oh my god.

I wonder if they didn't turn her in because chatgpt was helping her plan a shooting and they didn't want the scrutiny.

Humiliated in the media, denied healthcare, attacked by the human rights watchdog, shut out by the Supreme Court, bullied by social services and the police, disadvantaged in the jobs market, death figures covered up by the State, harassment de facto legalised, and attackers deified by Ministers.

I’m so very sorry. This is so heartbreaking. Solidarity in being trans from somewhere else on this planet. 🫶🏽🏳️‍⚧️

These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions.

They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.

What a scary thread. All the old dangers of being online, but fuelled by an algo trained to be persistent and emotionally pleasing to the user.

Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica:

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

One reason Republicans are so laser targeted on trans kids existing, is that trans kids existing requires accepting the bodily autonomy and consent of children.

Which is something republicans absolutely can't do, since they are pedophiles.

Their transphobia and pedophilia is them being consistent

i will never accept this excuse out of a society that demands you take on 5 to 6 figures of debt to commit to a degree for a career at age 18

INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

Disclose.tv @disclosetv NOW - EU Parliament votes to accept a report, that calls for "the full recognition of trans women as women" as part of the EU priorities for the UN CSW on "women's rights and gender equality." • • I| 0:14 12:31 pm • 12 Feb 2026 • 174K Views

The EU has just voted, by a VERY wide margin, for the full recognition of trans women as women…!

Wrote a piece that’s 10k words long. Multilingual, but primarily in an Indian language. Accepted for publication.

One early reader called it a text that expertly navigates cultures with a data-scientist’s scientific precision, but also with a poet’s love for language.

Not on Kobo? 😢 Would rather not use Kindle.

And the root impulse being acted on is that women don't know their own minds and decisions about their lives should be made by a committee of patriarchs or their delegates.

Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

they hate us because trans women illuminate the duality of femininity as both discipline and disruption

so the guy sharing gross transphobic slop with Epstein here is Robert Trivers, the scientist who invented the specious yet popular "parental investment" theory, in which sperm are cheap so men want to f*ck lots of women, but eggs are expensive so women are looking for a man with "good genes"...

They're all just a bunch of chasers and wanted to sex traffic trans women.

Like that's the whole story. That's it. That's all of it. Pages and pages of my scholarly book just get deleted now because they're irrelevant. I don't have to prove or explain anything anymore.

It's all just... there.

most people don’t understand the state of film, tv, and animation right now

it was always tough and over the last five years, with covid and the strikes and the collapse of streaming, it is GRIM out there for all of us

this industry always had problems but at least used to be self-sustaining

Might we tactfully point out that to obsess negatively with trans people when the richest and most powerful men in the world are trying to reverse centuries of humane progress and equality to acquire impunity for rape and murder shows a weird sense of priorities?

2026 is my year of multilingualism. Reading a French book for leisure. Wrote a 5900 word piece in an Indian language on my favourite Chinese playwright.

Behind the disturbing image of ICE snatching a half-naked, elderly Hmong American from his home DHS has claimed without evidence that they were looking for someone else when they took ChongLy Scott Thao.

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for.

My story:

Trans Victims Fight for Rohingya Justice in The Hague — Assigned Targeted for rape and harrassment, visibly trans members of Myanmar's Rohingya ethnic group are among the most vulnerable victims of the regime.

ONLY on Assigned Media: Rohingya refugees from Myanmar have accused the regime of genocide. Some of the most vulnerable are trans.

Crack reporter @mollyquell.bsky.social comes to us from The Hague to report on trans oppression as part of the ethnic cleansing of Myanmar.

cold-blooded murder by the state.
