Fact-check header image reads: "Are trans people most likely to commit mass shootings?" FALSE with red banner covering flawed data shared on social media
๐I usually do not sign non-climate pieces any more but felt this one was so important to share on Bsky considering the harmful narratives that have been going viral. This graph that's been doing the rounds online is absolutely flawed, crime experts and statisticians tell me: u.afp.com/chartshootings

The National gender service currently has 7.25 staff with an 18 year waiting list. At current trends that waiting list will be 40-50 years within 5 years. To bring the waiting list down to 6 weeks like it was a decade ago in 2 years would require them hiring 96 staff...

I become more and more convinced that the AI is just right wing class war and the lack of white collar worker organisation due having been flattered for years as geniuses and fed like farm geese has just led to a colossal lack of awareness of the class interests going on.

Third American death linked to ice uncovered by Newsweek
While the 23-year-old's death was reported in March 2025, it was not made clear that a federal agent fired the fatal shot.
โA federal agent fired shots through the driverโs side windowโ.
Sound familiar?
Thatโs exactly how Renee Nicole Good was killed.
This 23 year old lost his life and ICEโs involvement was covered up for a year.
Theyโre killing people and hiding the evidence.

Margaret Hodge, a callously ambitious and privileged woman, when chair of Islington council ignored claims of child abuse because of her political ambitions and vanity.
She described children in care as "disruptive and difficult".

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.

Last night at the #DataCenters meeting in Claremore, Darren Blanchard, who has attended most of these meetings around NE Oklahoma & has some pretty impressive FOIA/ORA skills, was arrested after going over his 3 min. allotted speaking time. First arrest I've seen at one of these.
in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.
