Dear school administrators: Primary care providers don’t have time to be arbiters of your poorly written school attendance policies.

A fucking VA ICU nurse. You can’t be more of a patriot than that.

You can’t get much more dedicated to your country than being a VA ICU nurse.

I’m watching myself on YouTube saying things I would never say. This is the deepfake menace we must confront | Yanis Varoufakis These inventions trigger rage, but also optimism. Maybe they will make people think more critically about debate and democracy, says Yanis Varoufakis

I can think of a lot of things that would be better named in "honor" of DJT. I wish we still lived in a rural area. I would name our lagoon after him.

Death is the policy RFK Jr.β€˜s measles response is junk science and social Darwinism.

"Survival of the fittest". A Darwinesque vision undergirding the entire RFK Jr. antivax movement. A cult of death. In the Smokies on vacation decades ago, we walked an old graveyard. Many plots had parents accompanied by stone lambs. Babies they lost before they had a chance to live. RFK's vision.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

BILL BURR: β€œIf someone’s working 160 hours a month and can’t make their rent, you’re not paying them enough. Maybe you should just be worth $900,000,000… How does a CEO take a f*cking 8 figure bonus and none of your employees have dental insurance?”

@jasonkander.bsky.social I’m thinking of you and all the Afghan families that you helped get established here. This is a tragedy and I fear it will be used to hurt those folks. We have no idea of the shooters motive but we do know that wars damage everyone involved no matter their nationality.

When I see my young parents wasting their money on homeopathy, I get so angry. Allowing these companies to exist and prey upon people is so wrong.

As Some Dems Run From Trans People, Zohran Mamdani's Latest Ad Shows Real Support The 2 minute ad features Sylvia Rivera's story, Mamdani's commitment to transgender people, and even music from the legendary late trans artist SOPHIE.

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups.

The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.

Whitmer declares October β€œtransgender empowerment month.”

AG Nessel and the Michigan govt have yet to force state hospitals capitulating to Trump to return to providing trans youth care.

I feel like this message is empty, and will only serve as right wing rage bait while delivering nothing.

Deafening Silence After Mormon Church Shooter Not A "Transgender Leftist" But A Trump Supporter The event is a case study in how shootings are covered in America.

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist.

No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men.

The silence is deafening.

Yesterday my daughter's cat wiggled out of her collar and left it on the floor all night. There was a momentary worry that all the cats got raptured. #catsky

Exactly this. Dana Nessel needs to do something more than sending a stern note.

Boston Children’s Fights Back For Trans Kids: Judge Quashes Trump Subpoena Around 2,000 BCH employees and untold numbers of patients were targeted by the DOJ. A judge just told them, β€œNo.”

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth.

Many complied and shut down their programs.

Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care.

And now, they just beat Trump in court.
