Children ‘low-hanging fruit’ in fight to end trans care, official at pro-Trump thinktank says America First Policy Institute, which boasts close ties to president, discussed transgender policy ‘reform’ at DC event

Once again, the right is openly admitting that the entire focus on trans youth is to ultimately ban all gender affirming care for adults.

All the credulous reporters and institutions that helped launder this right wing project are responsible.

Mapping Google's Unmappable City How filmmaker Chris Parr put North Oaks, Minnesota on the map.

An ultra-wealthy city in MN that’s home to Target and United Health executives is the only city in America not on Google Maps Street View because the HOA, not the city, owns the roads. The rich have always commanded privacy not afforded to the rest of us and it also extends to the digital domain.

This is what Trump meant by saying the war was "very complete, pretty much."

All that's left is the commitment of ground troops and the global repercussions, so probably just a day or two more, right?

In this episode of Boom! Lawyered, @angryblacklady.blacksky.app and @hegemommy.bsky.social go deep on Supreme Court drama—infighting among the justices, retirement rumors, and why it’s more than political theater when the president attacks the independence of the judiciary.

A new generation of birth control skeptics leans right More young women are embracing fertility tracking methods long popular among Catholics, looking to influencers, questioning doctors — and finding a home in MAGA.

Casey Means’ Surgeon General confirmation hearing is tomorrow.

Means holds a number of extremely disturbing views, including that hormonal birth control is “disrespect for life”.

She isn’t a “fringe” or “alternative” healthcare provider. She is a person who blithely ignores scientific facts.
