1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

A federal court has ruled that Florida can detransition inmates.
Some trans inmates are having estrogen pulled, hair shorn, and put through state-run conversion therapy.
This is the cruelty of abandoning incarcerated trans people.

Federal Court Rules In Favor of Forcibly Detransitioning Transgender Inmates In Florida
Incarcerated transgender people were a major topic of debate in the 2024 elections. Now, a judge ruling on a Florida policy shows how cruel abandoning trans people in prison can be.

my biggest 2024 breakthrough: discovering that scarecrows aren't real. crops are just SO much easier to steal now. i used to pull up one or two turnips and run off, but i'm not scared anymore. the only challenge ahead of me in 2025 is to keep from eating so many turnips i give myself a stomach ache

I was skeptical of the drone reports at first.
I mocked people who reported them.
I laughed at them.
And then I saw one for myself and captured photographic evidence.

Yes and this is the part I think a lot of liberals need to read: "You can’t have a politics of identity that is only about identity. If you do that, you draw sectarian lines, and you abandoned our interdependent ties"

The FL Department of Corrections is attempting to "reverse" the gender identity of transgender people in its custody, referring to trans identities as "short-term delusions" and withholding hormone therapy. Reviving psychiatric theories of the 1950s, they blame trans identities on "childhood trauma"

Literally this.
If you are a cis person, even if you are an expert in some field that affects trans people, and you *think* you know some facts about trans people, I can almost guarantee you believe some things that are insanely wrong.

It blows my mind every day. I think a lot of it also has to do with preconceived notions almost everyone has from all the myths they've heard their entire life about trans people. They think they already know everything, so why listen

I just ran into the main plaintiff and their family in the hallway of the Supreme Court in the skrimetti case today, and we all hugged and now I’m in tears in the press room.
I thanked them profusely.
Trans people deserve equal protection. We deserve to live like anyone else.

A great many TERFs are straight men who are simply delighted to have found a form of ‘feminism’ they can perform by being beastly to women. It plays to their strengths.
I'm convinced Lesbian TERFs are exclusively online phenomenon. Every IRL cis lesbian I said I was Trans to has been like "hell yeah. Welcome aboard, sister. Leafs fuckin suck this year."

It's also wild to contrast the NYT's coverage of antisemitism to its coverage of trans rights. An unconfirmed anecdote of someone yelling something antisemitic gets a whole op-ed, but months of bomb threats against gender clinics warrant no concern whatsoever.

It’s not a contest but no one ever seems to talk about how a guy just straight murdered a Palestinian child because Fox told him they were gonna do October 7 in the U.S.
This entire discourse feels like gaslighting. Yes antisemitism exists on the left and appears to have spiked since Oct 7. But anti-Arab and anti-Islamic prejudice ALSO EXIST and are major contributing factors to an ONGOING CAMPAIGN OF MASS MURDER.
Why is 99% of media concern aimed at the former?

As usual the entire factual basis of the article is rancid.
Moulton wasn't just "defending parents" skeptical of trans sports participation, he supports policies to restrict them. People who disagree held a peaceful protest outside his office. This is normal!

I've received so many death and bomb threats, I have a folder in my email for them. But I'm told by the New York Times that my criticism of antitrans people is the real sin.
This purposeful decontexualization of the violence and threats trans people face is to mask barbarism in a plea for civility.
