How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US:
Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science
One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

Trump repeatedly expressed his concern about autism yesterday when he told pregnant women not to take Tylenol.

The research on Tylenol is mixed, some studies show an association, some don't.

It's worth noting how his administration has undermined autism science

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson.

If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.
Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

If Johnson is Moses then he would have refused to come down the mountain with the 10 commandments because one of then was "don't fuck children"
AMERICANS: Thomas Massie doesn’t look sick. He’s all over the news calling for a vote on the Epstein files.

JOHNSON: I promise you Thomas Massie is a very sick man.
Mike Johnson Calls Out Sick
Such a sick man.

Vance is here to grab content he can post on X, using your replies. Starve the beast.
This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.
Vice-President JD Vance confirms he has joined BlueSky.

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.
