I know it's really about control, but the way these evil monsters talk about banning books to save the children out of one side of their mouths, and downplay an actual pedophile out of the other is rage inducing

Here the story about my ban and why conflating HRT with GAHT is anti-trans and harmful
There are many misperceptions about taking testosterone — including among trans men — but the small amount Jules Sherred takes does not translate to bulging biceps. Those are the result of many hours of training, he said.

The Canadian association that regulates the sport will no longer allow gender-affirming hormone therapy, citing American rules.

When leftists in florida smugly say "that's why I'm a registered independent" I only say "because you don't want a say in who the florida dems run?"
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.

One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Am reading EXORDIA by Seth Dickinson and came across this quote ripe for the moment:

"only weasels play trolley games. Heroes jump down there and start pulling people off the tracks. Heroes pass laws regulating better trolley brakes. That’s how you make a society."

Folks who grew up in one place their whole childhood: do you get asked "did you like staying in one place?" Or does this only get asked of people who moved around a lot.

Cuz I always want to be like: how would I know? I never knew anything different. It's the way it was.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

Really good news, via Daniel Nichanian:

Bucks County, #Pennsylvania, was ground 0 for conservative takeover of school boards & anti-LGBTQ policies in 2021, on Central Bucks & Pennridge boards. Dems flipped both boards back in 2023. Tonight, Dems have ousted *all* Repubs from both school boards

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

There are some big, consequential elections happening this week. Ours is smaller but small, local elections are incredibly important when state government is 🗑

This is just reporting. This is what headlines in the New York Times and your local paper should look like every day. The New Yorker should be publishing stuff like this, only with an umlaut thrown in occasionally for some fucken reason.
