Either transgender Americans are important enough to warrant year after year of breathless coverage questioning their healthcare and existence, or they're so insignificant that destroying their rights is the "least consequential" action of a presidency. www.readtpa.com/p/not-exactl...

Well said @lollardfish.bsky.social - My son has worked so hard to carve out an independent life and now it feels as if it's all about ready to fall apart... the impact of what's happening and fear are very real on families like ours.

Trump’s abhorrent behavior with Zelensky should be a moment of clarity. America is firmly on the side of the global authoritarian movement and the post-war order has cracked. What makes it worse is all of this was predictable and our leaders failed us. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-end-of...

I like it when I come across a post which is neatly encapsulated, like a short story. It is an art, to write in such a way that, by the time I reached the fourth line line, I was reading it with THAT voice.

"A weaker current may also allow more warm water to penetrate southwards, exacerbating the melting of Antarctic ice shelves and contributing to global sea-level rise. Faster ice melting could then lead to further weakening of the current, commencing a vicious spiral of current slowdown."

I understand why those once-great papers, the Washington Post, the L. A. Times, bought up by billionaires, don't tell us how Trump/Musk are shredding the Constitution, taking away our safety net, destroying cancer research, impoverishing people. But the NYT? Where is it? We need the press!

Note that not only are they stopping payment to farmers in Kansas (and across the farm belt) for work already completed. They're doing the same to USAID contractors abroad, cutting off payment for work already done. So many of those aid orgs have already gone under. US farmers next.

I see the completely predictable and recurring third way bullshit is back. We do not, in fact, have to accept the moral panics about our queer friends and lies about our cities where you are safer, less likely to die of any cause, and are not, in fact, lawless hellholes.

Everybody get your shocked face on real quick: "The study found that religious teens who attended gender-segregated schools were more inclined to have sexual experiences w/members of their own sex than those at coed schools: 12% of boys vs 7% in coed schools; 13% of girls vs 9% in coed schools."
