Even when it's a white journalist-
Even when there's footage of it happening-
Even when someone in that footage says what just happened-
News outlets *still* can't bring themselves to say that "a cop shot someone".

Still from a video: Australian journalist holding a microphone on a street in LA ducking as gun smoke rises from a line of cops behind her. A caption attributed to someone off screen reads "You [bleep] just shot the [bleep]."
News headline: Australian journalist hit by 'rubber bullet's while reporting from LA
Article proper: An Australian foreign correspondent was hit by what was understood to be a rubber bullet while reporting from LA. Channel Nine's Lauren Tomasi is seen jumping on pain after the incident in which she was struck in the leg on Sunday. A law enforcement officer can be seen turning towards news cameras & firing the round before Tomasi was struck.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v7xrieldge7jwxfq65tz3khl/bafkreihx6hzz6bi5t7a2bmgtk4o4cd2pdmvdhirkk26xpdaqkyghjb6pfy@jpeg)

Just as our new Public Health Lab - which was built on key lessons learned during COVID - was set to open, the necessary funding for its operation was just pulled by DOGE/HHS.
That operation, critical to safety and public health in San Diego.
Gone.

Cis allies, here's a super simple way to support trans people - and you don't even have to talk to anyone on the phone!
Just add a public comment saying medical care for transgender people is essential and should not be banned from ACA plans.
Just add a public comment saying medical care for transgender people is essential and should not be banned from ACA plans.
The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.
Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

If you have a voice, use it. especially those with 5k+ followers. Tumblr, twitter, instagram. this is about more than keeping families connected, people need to be aware of what's happening.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Any time you see an article frame something as "took action against transgender sports," do more digging.
75% of the time, whatever they are talking about also bans trans people from bathrooms/medical care/targets trans adults.
Sports is just a way to frame it as morally acceptable.

Why is everyone focusing on the trans sports stuff in the Gavin Newsom Charlie Kirk interview and not the part where he's mad about the Dems supporting trans prisoners getting healthcare or appearing to back Kirk on a full ban on trans youth healthcare????
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Two BIG wins in Motnana!
We killed two anti-trans bills today (a drag ban & a bill requiring CPS to remove trans kids from parents).
I'm so grateful for Montana Democrats, who have stood unwavering in their support of trans rights. And grateful to all the Republicans who said enough is enough.

Routine reminder that no existing religion actually opposes vaccination. “Religious exemptions” are just antivaxx lies.
All of their usual excuses fall apart here. This child had no history of medical problems, & per report no comorbidities were found. She was not malnourished or unhygienic or whatever other ugly things they try to say to justify preventable death.
She would be alive today if she had better parents.
