Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?”
The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy.

‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly.

You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Trump’s comments are vile. I am just as angry at the media outlets that bothsided Jamal’s murder, wrote puff pieces for MBS (Atlantic).

And, the Washington Post opinion page that dismantled the platform that Jamal wrote for, ended the fellowship in his name, and purged its human rights writers.

Corporate tax cuts.
Estate tax cuts.
Overseas income tax cuts.
Pass through business tax cuts.

These are all tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy that Trump wasn’t willing to let expire.

But ACA tax credits to protect health care? Forget about it.

"Do you think the Democratic Party should follow the lead of Abigail Spanberger or Zohran Mamdani?"

What if I told you that Democrats have different audiences in different parts of the country which require different messaging and it's okay for Democrats to tailor their messaging to beat the GOP?

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

AOC: I think what this night is starting and shaping up to represent is that Americans everywhere are not going to be scared. We will not be intimidated by an administration that is violating the rights and making life hard and unaffordable for every single American in this country.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

He's talking about a cognitive test for dementia.

A black-and-white scanned form titled “Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Version 7.1 Original Version.” At the top are blank fields for name, education, date of birth, sex, date, and points. The first section shows a trail-making exercise with circles labeled 1 to 5 and letters A to E connected by dashed arrows. Next to it is an outline cube to be copied, and a box titled “Draw CLOCK (Ten past eleven)” with scoring checkboxes for contour, numbers, and hands. Below is a “Naming” section illustrated with three animals: a lion, a rhinoceros, and a camel, each with an empty checkbox underneath. The “Memory” section lists five words to be recalled—FACE, VELVET, CHURCH, DAISY, RED—with spaces for two trials. An “Attention” section includes repeating digits forward and backward, tapping on the letter A in a letter sequence, and performing serial 7 subtraction starting at 100. The “Language” section has two sentences to repeat and a fluency task asking for words beginning with the letter F. The “Abstraction” section asks for similarities between pairs: train-bicycle and watch-ruler. A “Delayed Recall” section again lists the five memory words, with spaces for recall and category/multiple choice cues. The “Orientation” section has blanks for date, month, year, day, place, and city. At the bottom is copyright by Z. Nasreddine MD, scoring ranges (Normal ≥ 26/30), and an area for the administrator.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.
