In a hundred years all nine current U.S. Justices and even the youngest American lawmakers will all be buried and forgotten to common discourse, but trans people will still exist.

State AG have a path forward to protect consumer choice in their states. Will they follow it?
One constraint: Paramount and its advisor, former Trump antitrust enforcer Makan Delrahim, are trying to speedrun the acquisition and catch state enforcers flatfooted. All the more reason for them to come out now with a vow to challenge it. From me: prospect.org/2026/02/19/t...

It's the latest twist in the saga of Blackstone’s attempted purchase of a utility that will serve 800,000 customers in New Mexico and Texas, and which has run into vociferous opposition. buff.ly/F6QhJhF
Consumer Advocates Could Derail Blackstone’s Utility Acquisition
The private equity behemoth’s bid to acquire New Mexico’s largest electricity provider could be null and void. Will regulators be bold enough to apply the law?

What do you call a country that won't protect it's citizens or even it's children?
The latest review from JAMA Pediatrics has uncovered that 26% of trans youth have attempted suicide. That's actual attempts, ideation was even higher.

The trend was most pronounced in North America, where anti-trans laws have been common.

The latest from our writer S. Baum.
JAMA Investigation: 26% of Trans and Gender Diverse Youth Have Attempted Suicide
The highest attempt rates came out of North America amidst the United States’ war on trans kids.

Hopefully American soldiers haven't gone and done something illegal before then.
Trump officials say there's a 90% chance of strikes on Iran. He can’t without Congress.

Rep. Thomas Massie & I have a War Powers Resolution to debate & vote on war before putting U.S. troops in harm’s way. I will make a motion to discharge to force a vote on it next week.

The American people do not want a war with Iran.

My entire adult life, politicians have been sending other people’s kids — our U.S. troops — to die in reckless, endless wars.

Enough.
Trump moves closer to a major war with Iran
There's little public debate about what could be the most consequential U.S. military action in a decade.

Last year, Israeli drone-making company Xtend secured a multi-million dollar contract with the Defense Department.

Now, Eric Trump is joining a $1.5B investment deal to take Xtend public.

Do you see the problem?

Its what happens when you try to build on someone else's platform (Discord, Facebook, Reddit, Substack..) They offer convenience to push up their numbers, but that's not how you build community long term. Just my dumb internet opinion.
