George was just trying to get to work.
ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.
This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine.
He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews.
Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care.
Great coverage from Henry carnell.

For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine.
Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)

Everybody asks how you’re doing, and we say “good” because we’re alive. Also could be awkward to say “I am post-nightmares!” “Comfortable doom spiral.” “Amalgamation of succumbing and suffering,” “Just mournin’ my innocence!” “Dissociated— saner than ever but cannot conceive of joy lol”

Video shows two unknown men, without uniforms or identifying insignias, attacking and kidnapping a man from a Nashua, NH courthouse back in February.
During the kidnapping, the assailants, presumed to be ICE agents, knocked an elderly bystander who walks with a cane to the ground.

Layoff notices, threats of closure rattle WA State Library
The state library has existed since 1855, but a funding decision by the Legislature could lead it to close to the public. Layoff notices went out to 47 staffers.

Like the SAVE Act, Texas' HB 5337 would require government documents to register to vote.
If you can’t produce the right papers, you’re blocked – or limited to voting only in federal congressional races.
It's voter suppression by design.

A week with my family has reminded me how much my siblings’ laughs sound like my own. Together we sound like a small gaggle of hens. Now every time something makes me laugh, I end up laughing three times harder because I can hear them laughing, too.

My husband and I run a game store and after all the tariff announcements, he decided to write out kind of a "behind the scenes" of how we spend and spill it out for people who don't understand. He's had so many reactions and shares I wanted to bring it here, too.

I can't watch this and say nothing. The arrest of people lawfully here because of things they have said is nothing short of creating a new class of political prisoners.
Then sweeping them away to Louisiana to evade the rule of law is atrocious.
We cannot stay silent.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.
As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.
