"I'm against bullying... Unless you're a trans athlete"
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Status reports that ABC News deleted that explosive story about the Trump kids getting billions in federal contracts for their companies. ABC hasn't explained why they nuked the story, even as Trump has crowed about its deletion, sparking a firestorm behind scenes. www.status.news/p/david-elli...

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back
I spent a year watching school administrators do their jobs—and interviewing the students most impacted. I spoke to @thecut.com in a long-form Q&A about what I saw. Mainly, a system designed to protect perpetrators and punish victims in each and every case.

This was the best press conference of either of Trump’s terms. Change my mind.
LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

A UN fact-finding mission has claimed that a Feb. 28 missile strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran, that killed more than 150 people likely constitutes a war crime. Bellingcat was the first to identify the weapon that hit the school as a US Tomahawk missile.

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?
Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

I, the only data reporter at the Charlotte Observer, am among the McClatchy layoffs in the bloodbath today. The HR person asked me not to talk about it! AMA. Anyway, here’s a link to one of my most important stories this year. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/a...

Fun fact: in our polling of battleground states, about 60% of voters said it is a “top” or “high” priority for Congress to investigate and hold Musk accountable. Lean into it Dems. He’s a cartoon villain - treat him like one.
Musk is already underwater in polls and if Democrats lean in they can make him even more toxic. He's declared open war on you all and is pushing a toxic, destructive, racist agenda. Maybe it's time to push back? I don't know, I'm just spitballing here.

U.S. soldiers, no one- not even the Iranian government- respects you less than your leaders.
The Trump administration is now refusing payouts for US soldiers who died in the US-Israeli war against Iran "because it isn't a war." Libby Klinner, widow of 33-year-old Maj Alex Klinner, says the US Air Force deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following her husband's death because

this couldn't be a more clear, textbook, beat-by-beat example of how women who've been stalked are talked to and treated by police, versus how their harassers are treated and spoken to by cops. add to that: her stalker WAS THE POLICE www.404media.co/i-saw-a-shin...

"he was flirting with you" "he's remorseful" "he acknowledged it was dumb" "don't post about it" vs "you'll be ok bro" "wish you the best of luck" idk it makes me see red, especially that the investigator saying all of this was also a woman www.404media.co/i-saw-a-shin...

Florida cop Lamar Roman used a license plate reader to stalk a woman he met on a TV show. We not only have footage of him pulling her over for no reason, but also statements from both him and the victim. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/i-saw-a-shin...

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

"Ultimately, the gadflies don’t seem to actually understand how being a transgender athlete works. The idea that cisgender men like Enes and Royce would voluntarily undergo chemical castration to try to join the WNBA and make a minuscule rookie salary is farcical on its face."
ICE cosplaying as fucking Miles Morales now
ICE wants to spend tens of millions on electric shock gloves. The manual states the device should be deployed for 15 seconds. But a demo shows people falling to the ground almost immediately. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Story by @josephcox.bsky.social: www.404media.co/heres-the-ma...
