Nearly 1 in 4 out-of-state abortion patients come to Illinois, new report finds Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade in 2022, Illinois has become a major haven for people seeking abortion care in the Midwest and the South.

While our neighbors continue to restrict reproductive care, know that Illinois is and will always be a safe haven for anyone seeking an abortion.

Trump Erased Trans People From Stonewall’s Website. They Showed Up In Person. “We know what Stonewall was. And we're here to protect that history."

On Friday, hundreds of transgender and queer New Yorkers and their allies gathered outside the Stonewall Inn to declare that a brazen act of historical revisionism from the Trump administration would not stand. Here's what I saw and heard over about 10 interviews:

The Trans-Rights Showdown at the Supreme Court In a case on health care for minors, the justices could undermine decades of anti-discrimination law.

Is now a good time to remind everyone that the first real test of SCOTUS putting a check on this unhinged president may come from their pending decision on trans rights nymag.com/intelligence...

China overtakes US in number of top scientists, signalling global talent shift While the number of leading scientists in America is falling, the number in China is only going up, according to new data.

It’s a major surprise to me that this is the first time it’s happened.

The methodology in defining a
top scientist was to look at the authors of the most cited papers in 129 scientific journals.

Since 2020, the number of U.S. top scientists has declined by 14% while it’s up by 77% in China.
