My hometown is closing schools and parks, cutting bus service, and letting potholes go unrepaired while the police department costs over $300 million. It is the ultimate in government waste that conservatives claim to care so much about. Your tax dollars go to some asshole sitting in a car.

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.

We see y'all. No matter what.

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.

Let's be clear: this is an attempt to erase trans people from existence. The policy itself is going to kill kids, and it's not many steps from this to things like banning gender affirming care for adults, designating transness itself a mental illness, etc etc.
Under the proposed rule issued by the Trump Administration today, any Medicare- or Medicaid-participating hospital would be barred from providing gender-affirming care to *any child*, even if the care is not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.

Fuck every single one of these assholes. Once again, this is *literally* what the Nazis did.
The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors.

Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote.

Increasing expansion fees and artificially holding down player compensation through *scarcity* is not a league, it’s a pyramid scheme.

Asked if the club had any comment on the anti-trans rhetoric coming at NWSL players, they responded that they won’t be putting out a statement.

Maybe if cities like Paris and Napoli can't handle foreign fans those cities shouldn't be hosting UCL games at all. Move them to neutral grounds.

NWSL has been standing still and hoping no one notices, and in all likelihood a Black player who stood up for others — in the absence of proper moral leadership from the league — is going to have the right-wing rage machine aimed directly at her.

And everyone saw it coming.
It might seem easy to stand still and hope no one notices during these particularly hellish times, but NWSL is not in a position to do that without putting human beings in danger.

Also as several colleagues have noted, the photo choice here is absolutely intentional and points in a grim direction.
Deeply disappointed in Liz Eddy here, who I've always liked and respected. A reminder that we have a lot of work to do when it comes to educating the public about why trans inclusion isn't just morally correct, but competitively sound share.google/Gjf9a1Sl01eL...

"Faces teammates' rebuke" says Fox News of Elizabeth Eddy.

This is why ownership's initial statement—which compelled Sarah Gorden and the players to issue their own response—was a profound act of moral cowardice. Now, Gorden and her teammates are in the crosshairs. Fuck that.
We had some more thoughts about #AngelCityFC in the wake of Sarah Gorden's statement yesterday.
