It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

So far there have been zero trans women reported as having visited epsteins pedo island. But lots of people who want you to think trans women are threats to children seemed to have gone there at some point.

Curious...

1. If you've scrolled social media lately, you've likely seem Democrats cheering for Gov. Gavin Newsom for trolling Trump relentlessly.

You've also likely seen trans people terrified of a Newsom 2028 run.

I explain why trans people are not feeling Newsom.

I truly don’t think even the most well-meaning, informed men understand how many of the women in their lives have been sexually assaulted or abused, often by multiple men, and often by men they know. The stories women share with each other privately would shock them to their core.
"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

I am deeply confused by private businesses claiming they "can't" put mask mandates in place for equally private events. At least where I live, there is literally no law against it. You CAN. You just don't WANT TO.

Well, I CAN catch Covid, and I really don't WANT to.

If places could stop organizing dinners/lunches to "honor" me at events where I'm a guest, only to book them for indoor locations, that would be great.

I would rather eat outdoors at a McDonalds than risk Covid for a sushi conveyor.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.
The White House blamed exposure to environmental toxins, poor nutrition and increased screen time for a decline in Americans’ life expectancy Thursday.
White House says food, toxins among reasons for poor U.S. health
Parts of the “MAHA report” contradict scientific consensus.

“For Conservatives, politics isn’t about helping people — it’s about seeing what you can get away with. Just like Trump. That’s why they hate being fact-checked. Conservatives actually think they should be allowed to lie and spread disinformation.”
