Context: Substack goes out of its way to platform Nazis, and the CEO is proud of that. He also follows quite a lot of them.

Stuff Keeps Happening and many other newsletters use ghost.org, which is a great service that is also open source and self-hostable if you’d like.

It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.

WOW.

10+ Republicans just flipped in Montana and voted to kill a 25 year statute of limitations on trans care meant to end care, amended it down to 4 years.

This may not seem like a big deal, but it's huge. It's the most Republicans I've seen flip like this in recent memory.

Zooey's doing work.

1. The far right is falsely spreading that a new study shows that surgery "doubles depression" for transgender people.

This is an egregious misreading of the study, which does not look at transgender people before and after surgery.

Lets dig in.
Debunked: No, New Study Does Not Show Transgender Surgeries Double Depression
The study, which has been paraded around right-wing media sources, does not evaluate the impact of surgery on transgender depression rates.

When I landed in SLC, I used the bathroom despite an anti-trans bathroom ban.

Nobody cared. Nobody ever does.

The truth is, whatever anti-trans laws they keep passing, nobody actually gives a damn or wants to be the bathroom police.

This is the ultimate reason anti-trans hysteria will fail.

Trump Sick And Tired Of Mainstream Media Always Trying To Put His Words Into Some Sort Of Context
NEW YORK—Emphasizing that the practice was just more evidence of journalists’ bias against him, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump stated Thursday that he was sick and tired of the mainstream media always attempting to place his words into some kind of context. “The corrupt news media is constantly taking the things I say and putting them within the larger context of politics and global events—it’s absolutely sickening what they do,” said Trump, adding that many of the comments he has made—including his call yesterday for Russia to hack into the emails of his presidential opponent Hillary Clinton and publish the contents—had been repeatedly and unfairly contextualized with relevant facts about the world and pertinent information about the situation in which they were stated. “It’s completely shameful to take words I’ve spoken or written and try to connect them to some kind of objective reality. I say something, and the next thing I know, a crooked reporter is telling everyone what I said along with a fact-based explanation of what its implications are and why it matters. It’s ridiculous, and it has to stop.” Trump added that he would not hesitate to ban any news organization from his campaign that continued to twist his statements by implying they held any specific meaning about or relation to the world we inhabit.
