Trans healthcare saves lives. 🧵 "its findings reaffirmed what many academics, health care providers and trans people already know: gender-affirming care saves and improves lives, but transphobia often dissuades people from pursuing or continuing it when they need it most."

One-third of the 3,600 western soldiers who died in Afghanistan were from non-US ISAF contingents. Some countries whose militaries bore especially heavy burdens relative to their size and fought in difficult provinces include the UK, Canada, Australia, Denmark, the Netherlands, Georgia, and Romania

The only reason people think LA is a postapocalyptic nightmare is because of the X algorithm. An unreality machine.

Obligatory self promotion... When RFK Jr., fires all of the US's top vaccine experts, he's surrendering the US to measles et al. My book, So Very Small, on the discovery of germ theory, tells why that's such a terrible idea. A tale that begins in 1676 is, as they say, ripped from the headlines.

WOW! Trump and Hegseth ordered the military to screen attendees for his Fort Bragg rally to exclude any soldier who might disagree with Trump's politics, as well as anyone who was overweight — because Hegseth/Trump didn't want them seen in the crowd by the cameras. Outrageous!

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Florida child welfare officers found a 17-year-old living in a shed with no food or water. They sent him to a foster home... and then reported him to ICE, whereupon he was handcuffed and shackled and marched to detention. Not only is that victimizing him again, it violates Florida's own rules.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

The “big beautiful bill” has $160bn in new anti-immigrant measures including $8bn for ICE personnel, $15bn for deportations and $45bn to build detention facilities. Current total ICE budget is ~$8bn. They want to scale up this terror to an unimaginable level. www.wola.org/analysis/160...

1) VA regs prohibit providing any honors to Confederate war dead. 2) There is a federal court ruling that Confederate war dead aren’t US veterans/don’t get honors/benefits. 3) Lee was NOT a US citizen when they named the base after him. Congress didn’t restore his citizenship till early 1970s.

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

Allegedly the units sent this out, that soldiers who disagreed politically could ask to be excused from attending the speech. Army didn't want the optics of having people not applaud the President.

The world's stupidest trade war, incompetently executed. Chinese "exports have risen by 6% overall, owing to increased shipments to Europe and South-East Asia. China’s currency, meanwhile, is stronger now against the dollar than it was before April 2nd." www.economist.com/finance-and-...

Note the repeating trend that happens at least twice a year when Russia starts an offensive: there’s talk that Ukraine’s defence lines are about to break and thousands of troops will be trapped. The results are always the same, yet Russians still think next time will be different

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...
