This seems to be a common reply to my thread, so I'll address it here. Basically, the argument is who cares if this is a misleading attack on Newsom, he's bad so if it hurts him it's fine.

And I think it's important to push back on misinformation so that when there are legitimate criticisms...

The plan, quite obviously, is to restrict the age to 14 when it's too late for puberty blockers to do anything and then use that as evidence that they are ineffective. Transphobic policy based evidence making.

Its Time For Mayor Mamdani To Live Up To His Campaign Promises On Transgender Youth With NYU Langone's shuttering of its transgender youth care program, New York City has significant tools in its toolbox to push back.

1. Mayor Mamdani promised to hold hospitals accountable that capitulate to Trump.

He promised funding to trans youth care in the city.

There are very real steps he can take right now to maintain care for trans youth after NYU Langone's capitulation.

It's time for Mamdani to uphold his promises.

The political effects of X's feed algorithm

Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects.
Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

It's a scandal the way children in desperate need of medical treatment are being abandoned by clinic after clinic. It is no less of a scandal than diabetic patients cut off from insulin or poor people turned away from ERs if they can't pay.

I think it’s pretty clear this is all extremely intentional.

The media has refused to cover Trump as he actually is for 10 years: a corrupt, racist imbecile.

It’s intentional.

These way out of proportion attacks on AOC, smarter than Trump in every way, are intentional.

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand

it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating

Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocketed In UK After Care Drawdown; Government Covers It Up A Freedom of Information request to the National Child Mortality Database reveals that 22 trans children under 18 died by suicide in England in 2021-22 alone.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

The number of trans youth suicides in the UK quadrupled in 2021 following significant restrictions in access to care. The NHS tried to cover this up with a fake report that tried to hide the truth.
