Do we do outtakes for articles?

I had a paragraph on Vance's two-tiered citizenship ideas, and him parachuting into LA to condemn the mayor and then attend an RNC fundraiser in Beverly Hills....where presumably he delivered a Beverly Hillbilly Elegy.

Media applying their own TRANSitive principle:

If a trans person is involved, and someone else did a bad thing, then the trans person is responsible for the bad thing.

If you were solely going by the headline, you'd be under the wrong impression that this was a trans nurse that did this.

In fact, the trans person at the center of this is a doctor who was harassed by this nurse who constantly spouted racist, transphobic stuff to her colleagues.

Way to go BBC.

Kate…we were just talking about you at the University of Puget sound as you are cited in a book by the next Brien and Haley speaker. Thanks for a great lecture series.

Flint Finishes Replacing 11,000 Lead Pipes, Concluding Activists' Decade-Long Effort to Secure Clean Water A decade after lead-contaminated water was found in Flint's water system, the legal battle to replace lead water pipes is nearly finished.

All the lead pipes in Flint, Michigan have been replaced, save for abandoned houses or those whose owners opted out of the free pipe replacement. This is the work of so many people who spread the word and showed up over and over again to hold Michigan accountable for the replacement project.

And so now they're prosecuting two employees for standing in the way of their illegal operation. It's unbelievable. These officers should be prosecuted for violating the Constitution every which way, but instead, it's Americans sticking up for the Constitution who are locked up.
