Wonderful! I’m tied up today but will dm you this eve. Thanks!
Omg this is amazing! I just got a job at a community radio station and I’m doing a segment where I play songs from found/contributed mix tapes, could I include this? Happy to dm more details.
I hate how true this is, and how many times I think about this post every time I read the news.
missed yesterday’s so I’m doing two at once and they’re really fucking dark. 42yo Honduran dad dies of what ICE calls liver failure due to alcoholism (family calls bullshit). 39yo DACA kid from Mexico dies of sudden illness, mom says no prior health probs & explicitly calls it “medical negligence”
He’s running out of time.
Please sign and share to help this innocent man who not only didn’t pull the trigger, but the man who did got life without parole, while Sonny is set to be executed for a murder he didn’t commit on March 12th. Gov Kay Ivey needs to do the right thing.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Anyway, please read my report—which is a culmination of nearly a year of work—and subscribe to The Handbasket:
I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans.

Where? How? These people have been pooping this stupid myth back and forth for so long that they don't even bother to provide basic evidence anymore.
It's the *premise* of the article, how did an editor not ask for specific numbers and peer-reviewed studies on this alleged phenomenon?
This has been part of the trans-kids moral panic for years, gay adults going "If I grew up now, they'd convince me I'm trans."
If your movement had real evidence, you wouldn't be pointing to alternative-universe hypotheticals! Child psychologists know the difference between gay kids and trans kids
A long overdue reckoning for Henrietta Lacks — the Black woman whose cancer cells led to breakthroughs but were harvested without her consent. Novartis has settled a lawsuit by Lacks’ estate that alleged the pharmaceutical giant profited off her cells.

Deeply disappointing to see the Court tossing this complex issue with an emergency order.
Justice Kagan is not mincing words here:
"The Court is impatient: It already knows what it thinks, and insists on getting everything over quickly."
Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this
“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”
Update/Scoop— New guidance sent this AM to Kansas DMVs indicates licenses that previously had gender marker changed not actually invalid yet. However, internally DMV can see who is flagged, and keeping track of who has/hasn't come in to update. Seems about 300 trans/GNC ppl flagged across the state.
New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:
Vouch
i know the situation in kansas right now is dangerous and terrifying. that said, i'm hoping to speak to someone who's had their license invalidated. i will do absolutely everything to protect your anonymity and maintain your safety.

The President singled out racial minorities as the source of fraud in the United States and the first line in recaps is “he stayed focused on the economy“ lol
this entire article from my former employer does not mention that Trump went full white nationalist, white replacement theory in his speech last night, demonizing immigrants in the midst of arresting non white ppl and building what experts call concentration camps.

we are losing our queer icons.
This is what I was writing about last week at Law Dork. This is what our government is doing right now.
This is one of the outcomes of Singal, The Atlantic, and The New York Times’s “work” over recent years.
This is the hate they unleashed. And empowered.
For The New York Times to choose to publish Jesse Singal today, of all times, is a choice to attack trans people, to make them even more vulnerable while they are already under attack. It is an appalling abdication of the Times’s journalistic duties.
There have always been horrifically anti-trans groups and individuals. Few have done more, though, to launder their hate into “respectable” conversations than Jess Singal. No publications have done more to help that along than The Atlantic and The New York Times.
I’ve been covering the lives of trans and gender-nonconforming people and their treatment in the law and government and in society for more than 15 years from D.C.
