i'm totally exhausted, but that post shinee concert buzz is strong in my veins. taemin was /insane/ and what a difference since the last time I saw him in 2017, like the upgrades were palpable and the joy and excitement he felt were clearly powering him. we are so lucky to be able to witness him!!

Incredible news. After immense pressure and threats of protest, Children's Wisconsin has reinstated treatment for at least one trans teen under its care.
Several hospitals across the country determined their fear of Trump's illegal EO was more important than their trans patients.

If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once:
Congress must immediately act.
That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.

The GOP in Minnesota tried to steal a state house seat, with the house split evenly.
Lawsuits were filed, and it got kicked up to the state Supreme Court, who sided against the GOP.

Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.

His video is appalling to impugn fact checkers like that. He could use all the tools if he actually cared and X is now a toxic waste dump. One thing is true: Fact checking does not work on a platform that cannot be sued and has been built to advantage the liars.
"We're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes, similar to X, starting in the U.S," Mark Zuckerberg announces
He asserts that "the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased, and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S."
