There is a medical conference in Boston on Sunday at 8am at the Menino convention center that will be featuring a panel on trans health moderated by a Trump HHS co-author along with SPLC designated hate group SEGM affiliates.
BREAKING: We're joining over 120 organizations issuing a travel advisory to warn anyone visiting the U.S. for the 2026 FIFA World Cup of possible civil and human rights violations.
FIFA must pressure the Trump administration to protect the people traveling to and working at the games.
By the DOJ's own account, the SPLC's informant program was cheap and effective.
For a fraction of their annual budget, SPLC penetrated the nation's worst hate groups and published their secrets with info from their turncoats.
The DOJ's case assumes donors felt defrauded by this. buff.ly/cwTnYg6
The shadow docket hurts people, judges, and a functioning legal system.
And I'm glad that Steve is out there, as patiently as humanly possible, reminding the public that, as much as defenders of the Supreme Court may try, there's simply no sanewashing it.
I can't stress enough how central "hating-the-SPLC" has been to far right politics in Oregon (the state I'm most familiar with). For example, here's a story from a far right independent newspaper called the Oregon Observer in 1998. For context, Texe Marrs was an Alex Jones-esque conspiracy theorist.
"But all of these reforms require constitutional amendments..."
This is nonsense, and I wish people would stop repeating it
The Judiciary Act of 1789 wasn't a constitutional amendment. It was a statute enacted by Congress and signed by the President.
It can be amended like any other statute
I think this is misleadingly presented. It is legal for a 16-year-old girl and a 30-year-old man to have sex in the UK. He is using this to sell his 'redemption' arc to US conservatives, it is not something he is on trial for; he's on trial for rape and assault of several adult women.
Scott Galloway absolutely sucks shit & has always sucked shit.
When I talk to colleagues about how to do public-facing work as a professor, he's my prime example of what not to do - leverage your fancy position as faculty* to opine on shit you know nothing about.
*B-school, so not real professor
If only there was a word for “exploitative sexual behavior with a 16-year-old girl when he was 30.”
Wendy Vega Lores dreams of becoming a pediatrician. She finished high school in two years and began intensive prep to become a doctor.
She has a pending asylum case. On her 19th birthday, ICE detained her anyway. She has been locked away for 10 months.
They are broadening the framework to criminalize Black residents of DC so that they can then remove them from the city and put them into prison labor.
It's a disgusting two-for-one combo of ethnic cleansing and slavery.
This president’s voters chose him to protect and dignify women’s sports
They never minded his record of locker room talk
Here is how he chooses to congratulate a women’s sports team
To be this misogynistic, you really have to try
To be this incompetent, you really have to be misogynistic
I like the headache analogy for these reasons:
1. No one denies headaches exist, but there's no proof you're having one
2. Considered medical even though environment can trigger them
3. No social stigma for occasional mild headaches
4. Basic meds clear em up, but no permanent cure
Unlike the Democratic leadership in Congress, which still suffers under the delusion that there's a rump of good Republicans who are better than this and really want to forge bipartisan solutions to get back to normal, former GOP allies like Bill Kristol know that it's time for major changes.
Democrats with aspirations to enact any kind of policy need to confront the fact that a right-wing super-legislature currently possesses veto power over anything any Democrat might want to do. Voters need to know their plan to clear this hurdle.
Sulzberger is a liar.
Woke 2 needs Democratic leaders to remember that the Federalists and anti-Federalists hated each other. Get that attitude toward Republicans and talk accordingly. They are your colleagues working against everything you stand for, not good-intentioned, misguided friends.
Notable that your Supreme Court didn't even respect the law, either.
For the sake of our democracy, i don't think the Heritage Foundation should be allowed to exist
A mom asked the NYT publisher about harm from trans coverage. He defended the process instead

in the postwar era and the civil rights era people discussed racism not just as immoral but as dangerous. they noted the role it played in WWII and said that for civilization’s sake we cannot afford to let a cancerous ideology spread. we need to talk more like that imo. racism as dangerous to all.
I regret to inform you that the techno fascist billionaires are continuing to do dumb horrible things. As a result, I must keep writing about them. Alex Karp edition: www.thenation.com/article/soci...
FWIW: SPLC’s use of paid informants has been public knowledge since at least 1994, when the Montgomery Advertiser did an investigation of the group (a Pulitzer finalist). Its anti-Klan activities go back to the 1970s, and to say disrupting the group equals subsidizing it is pure lunacy.
This is indeed a despicable piece, filled with errors of fact, but this one stood out to me since comics are my beat: Maia Kobabe’s “Gender Queer” does not depict any such thing and the assertion that it does, after years of litigating and relitigating every panel in the book, is frankly libelous.
This is an extraordinary, searing interview. In the context of the repulsive new Jackson biopic, it raises questions about why so many people just don’t want to know what he did. FWIW I saw Leaving Neverland before HBO pulled it, and I absolutely believe those kids.
This weekend, pseudoscience pushers, including Trump’s HHS report author, will be teaching doctors from around the US anti-trans pseudoscience.
Now, anti trans activists say as a result of our story, 2k emails have been sent to get them to cancel.
They are pointing followers to an email address.
Matt Drzik @themattdrzik.bsky.so... 8h The Pittsburgh Penguins should be embarrassed and ashamed for their performance tonight. Not because they lost; that was always going to be a possibility. But to show zero effort in a must-win game against a franchise that actively MURDERED your mascot, your crest, your SYMBOL? Disgraceful. Matt Drzik Follow @themattdrzik.bsky.social And by the way, anyone who celebrates what Gritty--and therefore the Philadelphia Flyers--did tonight in that act of throwing a Penguin from one deck to another: You are no less a psychotic than the current warmongers that run the U.S., and good luck sleeping at night with that conscience. 8:03 PM • Apr 22, 2026
this is the best website on earth by far
The NYT believes their coverage on trans people has been fair – we beg to differ!
GLM affirming mom of a trans teen confronted the New York Times during its annual shareholder meeting about its anti-trans coverage, which Trump administration & others have cited to justify discrimination & harm.
Instead of focusing on priorities people care about, tonight Republicans are using a procedural end-run to get around the will of the American people & stuff ICE & CBP with billions more of your taxpayer dollars.
