I don't ever want to hear "what if she were your daughter" again. Statistically the person most likely to abuse a daughter is a man known to her. People defending a President, a man they don't know, will be worse with a husband, father, brother, son, or friend. We have their answer. So do daughters.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

The Times looks at how Trump business interests overlap with SEC crypto cases in the second term. NYT finds that the SEC inherited 23 crypto cases, of which 14 were dropped, frozen, settled, or conceded. All of those had Trump ties. None of the remaining nine cases do www.nytimes.com/2025/12/14/u...

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

Dems took multiple votes in 2021-2022 on the Freedom to Vote Act, which would ban partisan gerrymandering, and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which would (re-)ban racial gerrymandering. Republicans blocked them every time.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. Convincing colleagues to vote with them is the literal job of politicians - if they can’t do that, they can’t do their jobs. They own this shutdown and all of the consequences.

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,
If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

Every person harmed by Charlie Kirk’s proactively malicious agenda has a family. Every teen girl he told rape wasn’t real, every non white person, every trans person, every non Christian person has a family. Every other person killed by a gun he rallied for, they all have - or had - families.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

I don’t even buy their supposed shock and remorse at the arrest of their friends. I think it’s all performative. It’s just another opportunity to enact victimhood.
