Wow, great news: the CDC has a study proving COVID vaccines slashed hospitalizations by 55%. Bad news: RFK Jr.’s team killed it before publication because facts were inconvenient. They are literally hiding data that could save your life.

it is truly terrifying that we just don’t have real media anymore
Alt text: a graph showing a massive spike in anti-trans articles per 30 days.
The x axis starts in 2012, most of the spike is just in the last decade
The spike really starts to kick in around 2017 or so, corresponding almost *perfectly* with powerful sexual predators feeling threatened by MeToo.
Absolutely incredible watching them run the same playbook on children with ADHD and autism that they did on trans youth.
If I have any advice for trans women existing in this world, when you are out in public, don't you ever lower your head. If you are nervous, embarrassed, scared, whatever, do not let them know that you are anything less than as powerful as you are. Chins up ALWAYS.
Our liberation is all interconnected.
We can't fight for gender justice without defending transgender people.
can confirm. this was nuts.
@Nemzsi thank you black mold. thats a wonderful idea black mold
what people sound like when they say i asked claude
you should quit your job
Everyone who works for the NYT — including my many friends — should be incredibly embarrassed by this statement.
The depths to which the NYT will go to back its agenda of challenging trans people's right to exist is horrifying, ongoing, and has caused very real and specific harms to trans people.

The NYT purposefully mischaracterized the position of the AMA to make it seem like they changed policy and opposed gender affirming care on trans youth. It appears they have rejected efforts by the AMA to correct the record.
This is making me ponder conservatism and children.
For immigrant children, a parent crossing a border illegally justifies extreme deprivation and harm to the child.
In the case of trans kids, potential harm to the child justifies stripping parents of the right to direct medical care.
it is unavoidable
Just made these carne fries on stream, still going live for 13 days so far!! Timer do be getting low though 👀 c'mon over watching taskmaster while eating then more games
An infographic titled "president Trump is reshaping the media", reposted from his truth social account.
Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

An image of a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) from the account of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (@KenPaxtonTX), posted on March 9, 2026. The post text reads: "🚨🚨 BREAKING: I secured a victory against a New York-based child mutilator to stop the sale of chest binders to Texas girls. I will never allow radical companies like Lola Olivia to abuse Texas children by 'transitioning' them." Below the text is an embedded image of an official press release from the Office of the Attorney General of Texas. The press release is titled: "Attorney General Ken Paxton Secures Victory Against New York-Based Child Mutilator to Stop the Sale of Chest Binders to Texas Girls." The body of the release states that Attorney General Paxton secured a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against the New York City-based online retailer, Lola Olivia, Inc. It claims the company sold chest binders to children as young as nine years old without disclosing health risks. The release cites concerns regarding medical conditions, physical pain, and long-term bodily harm. It concludes with a quote from Paxton stating his office will continue to protect children against "radical, sick corporations."
Texas AG Ken Paxton has gotten a TRO in Texas court blocking retailer Lola Olivia from selling underwear to trans people.
he absolutely knows. he just doesn’t care.
Too bad there's no opposition party that could run a 48 hour Youtube telethon program with 48 elected officials each programming one hour to point out the awfulness of the war on Iran. That would definitely not get any media or other attention.

I hate asking for help again. But I just received a $1300 bill for the anesthesia from my surgery last year, which is on top of being shy on my rent tomorrow. If anyone has got anything to spare… I would really appreciate some help.
As the Trump administration is attempting to erase Black history and silence educators, we spotlight and honor the legendary Dr. Mahmoud El-Kati, for his work in preserving Black history, and pushing for human rights for all. #BlackHistoryMonth

A screenshot of a mobile Google search results page in dark mode for the query "Kansas trans". Under the heading "News about Kansas," there is a list of four news articles: An article from the Kansas City Star, published 13 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday". The thumbnail shows a sample Kansas driver's license. An article from The Independent, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas sends letters to trans drivers demanding the immediate surrender of their licenses over birthright law". The thumbnail shows small pride flags on desks inside a legislative chamber. An article from The Topeka Capital-Journal, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas invalidates IDs and birth certificates of transgender people". The thumbnail features a close-up of colorful pride flag stickers. An article from Erin In The Morning, published 16 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses". The thumbnail is a nighttime photo of a state capitol building illuminated in pink and red lights.
A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas.
This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people.
This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.
I want to clarify this because people have asked: organizations in general giving money to trans people for hormones and ID changes and moving fees, good. Organizations giving money to legal teams for the newest lawsuit to try and slow this down, maybe not the priority right now
Important insight. ALSO, I have no patience (and I mean ZERO) with people who say "they won't ban birth control." They will eventually try BECAUSE WHAT THEY WANT IS TO CONTROL YOUR BODILY AUTONOMY. We need to be proactive about BODILY AUTONOMY IN GENERAL.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Kristen Waggoner. The text of the post reads: "Everyone should read this important essay by @jessesingal in the @nytimes. Then, take a moment to drop a quarter in the “Clarence Thomas was right” jar. THREAD🧵⬇️" Below the text is a preview image of a New York Times Opinion Guest Essay. The headline reads in large font: "Medical Associations Trusted Belief Over Science on Youth Gender Care." The publication date is listed as Feb. 24, 2026. The article features an illustration of a medical professional wearing green scrubs and a stethoscope. The top half of the person's face, from the nose up, is entirely obscured by a transgender pride flag (consisting of blue, pink, and white stripes) stretched across their eyes like a blindfold. Small text at the bottom reads "Illustration by The New York Times."
Here's the legal director of ADF, the organization that wants to criminalize LGBTQ people and ban care, praising Jesse Singal's NYT op ed.
This is the goal of Singal, to spread uncertainty and undermine liberal support so that the far right can pass their anti-trans policies without resistance.
