I recently reported that Bossier Parish, Louisiana, voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom rules I'd ever seen. It begged the question: Why? Enter Aurora + Shae, who were allegedly attacked by an anti-trans mob near a Parish bathroom in May. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-coup...

Trans Couple Brutalized At Louisiana Park Bathroom, Then Charged By Police

An angry mob allegedly beat them. The police charged them. The municipality voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom ordinances in the country.

When cops use Flock to arrest someone in Wapello County, Iowa, they don’t want them to know. A usage policy for Flock cameras in the county tells police, in no uncertain terms, to keep them a secret. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. Story: www.404media.co/do-not-menti...

I think it's worth pointing out that government agencies are giving each other advice on how to intentionally provide vague information that would make FOIA requests useless.

“Earlier this year, we reported that police in multiple states were being told to be “as vague as permissible” about why they were using Flock because their searches could be obtained using public records requests, and that warning was being shared by the FBI and Department of Justice.“

Any time I post about how much I hate James Carville some random person shows up in my replies to tell me James Carville is a good man who is trying to help the party. His wife is a Republican op and all he's done is push the party to the right and you're an idiot if you think that's a coincidence.

He hasn't worked on a winning campaign in decades. His past clients include Jeffrey Epstein associate Ehud Barak, who has been directly accused of sex crimes by Epstein's victims He did work for Palantir helping sell their systems to New Orleans police. He is a bad person and a loser.

All you have to do is listen to the guy and a million red flags go up. There is zero concern for his daughter. Just tossing blame. A normal parent would be visibly upset and would stop at nothing to find out who hurt her.

When we talk about the importance of funding libraries and library workers - this is the result of being down just *six* people across the entire city of Chicago. Wherever you live, libraries have been running on shoestrings for years and years. Fighting for funding improves service you use!

FWIW, both of VDARE’s founders were on the masthead of the National Review in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Peter Brimelow was also a staffer for Senator Orrin Hatch. This white nationalist thread has been present in the conservative movement for a long time. Screenshot is from 1997.

Maybe it was a sign when the person Trump put in charge of the DOJ's Civil Rights division was a protege of Jeffrey Hart at Dartmouth, a man who wrote this column in 1977.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 10mo ago

During his second term, President Trump has upended 60 years of civil rights, largely under the guise of attacking DEI. On "The Daily," our reporter discusses the growing fears of what a post-civil rights government will mean for Black Americans.

The reason we HAVE to keep burning Fossil Fuel is because the richest own it, and it is 'worth' $200tn. If we just stop burning it, that becomes $0. But WE don't have to keep burning it.

This is the reason, the ONLY reason they refuse to stop burning Fossil Fuel. Because it is going to wipeout so much of THEIR wealth and income. Which is why they constantly scream Net Zero will cost a fortune. It will, it's their fortune.

Liberals literally do every slimey thing they accuse leftists of because they have no principles at all. Vote blue no matter who always meant “shut up and support my pro corporate candidate” and never implied they were going to vote for leftists if they won.

Listen, if you outspent your opponent in an election by over 10-1 in one of the nastiest, most dishonest, and downright racist primaries I've ever seen and still lost, you got clobbered; I don't care about the margins.

I had my first high school dream in like a decade but this time instead of did being back in the actual school I went to it was an entirely different building with different teachers and classmates. Very strange, I went through 2 entire class periods before waking up Also they let me smoke inside?

If you're a trans person who isn't a journalist and you see a big, scary claim from a small independent publication, it's always worth taking a closer look at how that publication verified the claims, what evidence they provide, and how they describe uncertainty. trustingnews.org/what-informa...

1. Recent reporting has sparked fears that the Trump admin is beginning to revoke trans people's passports by declaring us 'national security risks.' But is it true? As per Transitics' investigation, no. There is no evidence to suggest that trans people’s passports are being revoked. Here's why.

I'm really, really, really tired of public health officials going out of their way to tell us that the dead had "underlying conditions" — a phrase so vague as to be useless in actually informing risk assessment. It's just ableism...

Matthew Cortland (they)@matthewcort.land · 16h ago

Why? "Underlying conditions" offers relief to a reader the coverage presumes is healthy. It works especially well because it is so vague. Without knowing the conditions these two lost souls had, readers can supply whatever medical history would make their deaths feel safely remote. 🧵
