The latest anti-trans dem is Kathy Castor, Florida congresswoman, who laughed at trans people and said she opposes them in sports in a candidate forum. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/dem-congre...

We are learning so much more about the importance of prevention and yet see society as a whole (including scientists) doing so much less to protect themselves…Makes no sense. “COVID-19 can wake up dormant viruses in the body, large study confirms” www.science.org/content/arti...

Glad to see CNN reporting on this. @jimacosta.bsky.social and I raised concerns about DHS potentially using a military-grade “heat ray.” After 20+ years in national security, I find this deeply troubling. A weapon designed to inflict intense pain. Against civilians? Why does DHS need this?

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Kroger just announced the largest layoffs in its history, with plans to cut 3,000 employees as it ramps up use of AI. Reminder that Kroger has spent $12.3B on stock buybacks since 2019 and paid its CEO $14M last year — 417x its median worker's pay. AI is turbo-charging corporate greed.

Colorado. Michigan. 28 Democratic party elected officials with a national platform. Anti-trans ads being run by democrats. Ohio Dems censoring its LGBTQ+ caucus. South Carolina dems voting en masse for anti-trans policies. Never think what happened to UK Labour can't happen here.

Despite Seattle's reputation as a trans haven, the University of Washington has reacted to escalating attacks on trans rights with silence — even after a trans student was murdered. But trans academic workers, unionized with UAW, are fighting back. Our latest, from @thefreeradical.org.

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.
Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

ProPublica designed a reporting experiment to demonstrate how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money. We succeeded in opening two schools. No credentials or background checks required.

My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

The administration keeps telling us that ICE is in our cities to make us all feel safe, but if they're goons in plainclothes bum rushing vehicles with guns and pounding on the windows, how exactly does that make anyone feel safe?
The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.
