So they’re blanket banning social transition for children in my country. Just thought you should be aware.

the only correct take! like do you want a team solely comprising red faced chuds who wear Mormon garments and pay instagram grifters to replace all their blood once a month? Or do you want someone with some pizazz, someone who unbuttons his jersey most of the way down, someone who loves Scooby Doo?

“oh weird, the guy whose whole thing was being swaggy and slutty and opening his jersey brought A BEER into the dugout after getting pulled from a game?” grow up

I've said this before but I truly believe we could revitalize YA and kidlit overnight by switching to MMPB and paperback first. Kids want paperbacks! It is by far the biggest request I get from teen readers.

this is how god will create the first woman to win a cy young award

A picture a friend of mine posted in a Discord. Its several Harry Potter books on Audible for an ad. Graffiti is sprawled over the books and it reads in all caps: “FIND A BETTER BOOK” A male female, gender symbol, which I’m going to assume represents trans folks is in the top right corner, but there’s an a for anarchy inside of the circle in the symbol

Find a better book

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Josh Shapiro is a disgusting worm. Krasner’s opinion here should be the message of every elected democrat in the U.S.

"stepping down from their positions after leadership blocked a report that deems Israel’s denial of Palestinian refugees’ right of return a “crime against humanity.”"

Take a look at this insane image the Illinois College Republicans posted and then read their statement about how they're not trying to excuse or glorify violence.

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE 404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

New from 404 Media: here is the user guide for ELITE, the tool Palantir made for ICE. A map shows people on a map; ICE clicks them, brings up their dossier. ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target. We obtained it, you can now read the document for yourself: www.404media.co/here-is-the-...

The police only enforce the laws they want to enforce, and only against the people they want to criminalize.

(g) (1) Any driver's license issued prior to July 1, 2026, that identifies the gender of the individual named on such license in a manner that is contrary to the definition of such term as defined in K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 77- 207, and amendments thereto, shall be invalid. (2) The director shall correct any driver's license records that identify the gender of the individual named in such record in a manner that is contrary to the definition of such term as defined in K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 77- 207, and amendments thereto. The director shall send written notice to each such individual notifying such individual that such license is invalid and to surrender such license to the division of vehicles. Upon the surrender of any such license, the director shall issue a new driver's license to such individual with the correct gender identification for such individual.

It plainly invalidates all driver's licenses held by trans people if they've changed their gender markers. It requires them to turn those licenses over.

They don't have a list to check but now any out trans person could be ratted out by family, friends or coworkers and have their licenses revoked.

Want to re-emphasize what this bill does. It implements a $1,000 bounty for anyone to sue someone they suspect is trans and using the bathroom.

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

It is time to go back to the old blogging ways: aggregating posts we saw for posterity. aftermath.site/the-new-baby...

The aggregation of 22 separate federal agencies, most of which had nothing to do with each other, into DHS was the second most corrosive post-9/11 action taken (after the passing of the PATRIOT Act) and I will die on that hill

this is such an embarrassing speech to give a newsroom of media professionals. this all boils down to "the internet exists and people don't watch as much TV news". incredible revelation Bari. Her solution seems to be "create a product people want even less than TV news".

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Louise Perry, you say?

“I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice.
Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be
counting his bullet wounds.”

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.
