New Mexico Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury reported that she reviewed the Epstein files and Donald Trump is named repeatedly and is tagged in a discussion of his rape of at least one 13 year old child. #OpDeathEaters

I’ve been uncertain about what to say today.
The last few years, we’ve seen a consolidated effort to attack and erase trans people from society.

When the papers start whining about “cancel culture” again, remember that these men are stepping down 1) voluntarily, and 2) because their jobs have no real impact on their wealth and power, and 3) BECAUSE OF THE RAPING.

One time I was writing a piece for Vox and asked WoLF for comment and Dansky replied accusing me of being a rapist.
TERFs in WDI-USA are celebrating that the NYT decided to quote Kara Dansky in a recent story about the Trump administration’s anti-trans passport rules. Of course the Times would quote such a pathetic bigot like Dansky, they love laundering TERF bullshit.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.

Once again it is the Trans Day of Remembrance. A day to remember those whose lives were cut short because of hate and bigotry. Folks we have to get past this, trans people are PEOPLE. We deserve care, consideration and love. Trans Rights are Human Rights. We are not confused, we are not broken.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

1. Texas A&M has voted that Professors must seek out official permission to talk about trans people, sexuality, or race.
One of the professors said that the new policy would make routine lessons on things like the Holocaust impossible.

🙋🏻♀️ independent fact checker here!
Yes there are many freelance fact checkers and editors. But fact checking is not a priority for pubs. We were the first to be fired as the industry imploded
So there’s no desire to hire us, even independently
I work on books and am hired* paid directly by authors

Sort of a dumb question, but are there independent editors? Independent fact checkers?
And I get that the dollars (nonexistent) get split even more.
I know nothing about journalism other than as a consumer. Just wondering if theres a way to create collectives of independents with skills?

I worry about the emphasis on independent journalism we have right now because:
1) it’s not a sustainable business model to hold up an entire industry
2) they don’t have editors or fact checkers to provide checks and balances on their reporting
3) institutional journalism is still important
