Exxon Mobil: 1.31%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Fox News produces more trans articles than any other outlet Fox News, a right-wing media empire, produces more articles referencing trans people than any other outlet, research suggests.

Fox News was founded in 1996. Since then, they have produced more anti trans articles than any other media outlet.

Fox News is a major reason why the United States is divided, violent, and full of bigotry; they've been poisoning the minds of Americans for decades

You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?

No worries! Happy to help! Enjoy the race!!!

Not true. I’m watching it on Apple TV in the states as we speak. Martin is doing his grid walk. It’s in the “feeds” section or just search for it on Apple TV.

It’s the F1TV crew which is the same as last year on F1TV. Sky Sports is what used to be on ESPN.

If you want Martin Brundle you want Sky Sports commentary which is available in the “feeds” section. By default you’re seeing the F1TV commentators.

Isn’t it the same crew? Who were you expecting to see?

jesse singal is a lying hack and publishing him will actively damage the reputation of any news org dumb enough to do so

This whole Chorus situation feels like someone doesn’t understand how contracts work and then chose to publish the least charitable reading.

@adamconover.net misrepresenting the authors own intentions and citing a pre-print study is intellectually dishonest. I honestly expected better.

How embarrassing to work for the organized kidnapping ring known as "ICE." Rolling out of bed every day to be a brainless goon. You are lower than a worm to me

Tricia McLaughlin & @TriciaOhio 0... The narrative being pushed about Jose Hermosillo is false. On April 8, Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson and stated he had entered the U.S. illegally through Nogales. He said he wanted to turn himself in and completed a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully. He was processed and appeared in court on April 11. Afterward, he was held by the U.S. Marshals in Florence, AZ. A few days later, his family presented documents showing U.S. citizenship. The charges were dismissed, and he was released to his family. This arrest was the direct result of Hermosillo's own actions and statements.

In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS'. 's account was false. According to Hermosillo, he was visiting his girlfriend's family in Tucson from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several hours before his arrest, Hermosillo was transported to a hospital in Tucson by ambulance after suffering from a seizure. He has a New Mexico state ID, but did not take it with him during the medical emergency. After being released from the hospital following treatment, Hermosillo did not know how to return to where he was staying. He approached the Border Patrol officer because he was looking for someone to help him. "I saw a car, and I askled] him for help," Hermosillo said. He told the officer that he was staying in Tucson.

"You" re not from here. Do you have your papers?" the officer said, according to Hermosillo. When the officer asked where he was from, Hermosillo said he told the officer, "New Mexico." The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. "Don't make me lout] like [I'm] stupid," the officer said. "I know you're from Mexico." After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested. Hermosillo said that he never told the officer that he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, or entered the country illegally. And he would not have said those things because they are not true. He signed the transcript released by DHS because the officer ordered him to "sign everything." But Hermosillo did not read it, because he cannot read. According to Hermosillo's girlfriend, Grace Hernandez, Hermosillo has learning disabilities and can only write his name. Hermosillo said he did not graduate from high school and dropped out after the 10th grade.

The officer also signed the document, which said Hermosillo "read" the document or had it read to him. But Hermosillo said no one read him the document. Other documents created by the officer have inaccuracies. For example, the criminal complaint says that Hermosillo was detained "at or near Nogales, Arizona." But Hermosillo was detained in Tuscon, which is more than 70 miles from Nogales. John Mennell, a spokesperson for the U.S. Border Patrol, said that it was an "unintentional" error. Hermosillo said he was detained with about 15 other men in a cell at the Florence Correctional Center. He was served only cold food. He said he contracted the flu because "they have it cold in there and everybody's getting sick." Hermosillo said he requested medicine but was not provided with any.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Hasan lets anyone make clip content from his twitch so his community can make the money from it. So…whatever economic system that is I guess.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Elon can’t manage his own company well (TSLA plummeting) or protect X from cyber attack.

But don’t worry: Trump assured us that the foreign-born, ketamine-addicted egomaniac *definitely* cares more about you and this nation than he does himself and his companies.

#ETTD

If Musk and his Technoboyz can't stop a cyber attack at X, maybe they shouldn't have access to our Social Security? Just brainstorming.

So they banned research that would help women and girls because it happened to mention trans men too, then lied about it

Literally what we said would happen. The attacks on trans people harm cis women too. They aren't "defending women", they're attacking them too

Just a couple of sociopaths justifying their cruelty.

A mouse model mimicking gender-affirming treatment with pubertal suppression followed by testosterone in transmasculine youth Cynthia Dela Cruz et al. Hum Reprod. 2023. Show details Full text links 66 Cite •• Abstract Study question: Can mice serve as a translational model to examine the reproductive consequences of pubertal suppression with GnRH agonist (GnRHa) followed by testosterone (T) administration, a typical therapy in peripubertal transmasculine youth? Summary answer: An implanted depot with 3.6 mg of GnRHa followed by T enanthate at 0.45 mg weekly can be used in peripubertal female mice for investigating the impact of gender-affirming hormone therapy in transmasculine youth.

People say they want more study into the effects of puberty blockers and HRT, but then mock actual studies into it.

are you fucking kidding me, riley gaines in the NASCAR pre-show

For the millionth time, stop using this meme. The original context was Norm Macdonald joking about the brutal rape and murder of Brandon Teena, a trans man. It was depraved to say it at the time and it's worse that people continue to share this.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

(2/2)Exploring TikTok’s algorithm continued

(1/2) Supposedly TikTok released this information on their algorithm (I say supposedly because I couldn’t find a primary source for it), but I think it’s worth a discussion!

What’s good about TikTok’s algo? What could be improved?

Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton goes fastest and moves to P1.

Had to say it out loud to see how it feels. Takes some getting used to.
