I was just on NPR Member Station KCRW's "Press Play" where I fact check the Trump HHS Review targeting transgender healthcare.

Listen to me speak here:

Politics of gender-affirming care, Russia’s pursuit of Ukrainian territories
A new report from Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services tries to discredit gender-affirming care, contradicting leading medical experts who say it can save lives.

People who know Mahmoud Kahlil wrote letters to the court.

At a protest, a Jewish student recalled, when a non-affiliate began shouting antisemitic slogans, Mahmoud "was the first to intervene."

"He has committed no crime, nor has advocated for anything that I have not also stood for."

Unfortunately, there's nothing more American than procrastinating on revolution until a generation of charismatic hero figures have risen and died for it. The mob will only move a finger once enough bodies of willing radicals have tipped the scales in favor of justice.

And sometimes, even then...

The Veterans Administration is requiring therapists to return to the office full time, but does not have enough space for them

As a result, they are forced to provide mental health counseling to veterans in open cubicles

It is an unethical and likely illegal practice

Imagine being a teenage girl now. Your male peers are all watching Andrew Tate and doing Nazi salutes and every week the most prestigious magazines in the world run a piece about how it’s a social emergency that you’re not having babies in the 10th grade.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to my Bluesky posts.

I am going to be writing every (?) day in support and defense of two pillars: low-effort reposts and uninteresting 00s ephemera.

I used to do it at night before, so.

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC.

There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA.

Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

So, funnily enough, there already WAS a Gulf of America. It was named by a Siberian governor, after the ship he sailed through it, in the 19th century.

Its name was changed over 100 years later as part of a Soviet plan to erase the history of its acquired territories. It's now called Nakhodka.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Truly, the cost of wheelchairs and the ridiculousness of the process and what insurance companies refuse to cover is one of the most ridiculous obstacles ever.

Yes, let’s charge the cost of a used car (or much more) for something people need to get around for basic access.

And the there was that time a guy pretending to be wise tried to convince everyone that machines are better than people, put his white hands on every goddamn thing on the planet, and raised an army of emotionally stunted cannibalistic goons to wrest control of everything from everyone.

I know there's this theory going around that Elon Musk was named after a character in a scifi novel about Mars travel or something, but what if they meant to name him Elton, but fucked up and were too proud to admit it?

...doesn't that feel more right?

There was also that one time a known lifelong criminal - also an amoral businessman, coincidentally - manipulated his way into a position of power, then pardoned and deputized mobs of goons to wrest control of everything from everyone.

I'm starting to sense a pattern here.
