For my newsletter, I wrote about Dr. Ting's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the trans talk in the Epstein files, and how hard it is for trans people to talk about abuse.

From the owner of the paper
The NYT says Democratic proposals for reforming ICE are “facing blowback.”

But blowback from who? Not the people! Polls show support for most reforms exceeds 60%, with some ideas reaching as high as 94% of the public!

Leslie Wexner, former CEO of Victoria's Secret, was the other man named by Ava Cordero as her rapist and abuser alongside Jeffrey Epstein in 2007, only to be mocked and degraded and dismissed as crazy because she's trans.

I explained transness to my then 6 year old daughter when I came out. Gay was comparatively easy.
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

I took French in HS and can still speak a bunch of it and yeah, this is me.
I’m not sure how it’s possible not to speak a word of Spanish in America in 2026 but it sounds like a lot of you have work to do ✨

Not ICE's job
Pou says her New Jersey district is hosting World Cup matches in June-July. She asks Lyons to commit to pausing ICE operations at FIFA games.

That's a big no from Lyons. 3 times.

ICE is "dedicated to ensuring everyone that visits the facilites will have a safe and secure event."

Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...

The right used to attack athletes who protested. Now they attack athletes who express feelings at all.

Just got some really tough personal news. I could use some encouraging words.

I generally do not care about others but will say that my life as a non drug user got way better when my neighbor broke up with his girlfriend who smoked all day and she moved out.

A couple months ago some people on here got mad when I said I never use "America" to mean the US in my writing. Bad Bunny clearly saw my skeet.
“god bless America” meaning the continents of North and South America is going to give the worst people alive a collective aneurysm :)
