1. Now-deleted audio shows that Acting AG Todd Blanche privately told faith leaders the DOJ is working to make the 2022 Dobbs decision, which revoked federal abortion protections, “permanent in every single state.” Blanche also suggested a crackdown on the mailing of abortion pills.🧵

Honored to have this story republished by the DJA as a special feature! Disability reporting, like trans reporting, is being pushed to the margins as billionaires seize control of more and more of our media diets. It’s vital we stand in solidarity and fight to protect both.

This AI Chatbot Pushes Conversion Therapy on Trans Users - Disabled Journalists Association

Detrans.ai claims to help people explore gender dysphoria with “balance.” Instead, it cites reactionary talking points and debunked science to question trans identity.

Disability rights and trans rights are inherently intertwined, both in terms of advocacy efforts and barriers faced in the journalism industry. For example, it was anti-trans voices that have led to attacks on disability-rights legislation. Continued in thread.

Norma Bowe, a nurse in New Jersey, runs a mobile health clinic that stops outside Delaney Hall detention center, where she provides blood pressure checks, stroke assessments and other care. Yesterday, she told me about the day she says she was assaulted by an ICE agent. My latest via @19thnews.org

This nurse brings health care to people outside a detention center. She says ICE agents assaulted her.

This week, the ACLU announced it has filed 54 claims on behalf of Norma Bowe and others who allege violence and additional harms from federal immigration officials.

We recently published a story on an AI chatbot that purports to help people explore gender dysphoria. Instead, @madisyn-writes.bsky.social found it uses pseudoscience & transphobic rhetoric to push conversion therapy for trans people. Please give it a read: rewirenewsgroup.com/2026/07/15/a...

For @slate.com & @economichardship.bsky.social, I reported on how chaos and changes surrounding SNAP benefits are taking a toll. People described endless fear and worry over feeding their kids, where their next meal will come from, and whether SNAP could become even more difficult to access.

It Could Lead to Tens of Thousands of Deaths. In the Meantime, It’s Wreaking Havoc on Americans’ Sanity.

Imagine not being able to feed your kid because of a mistake on a piece of paperwork.

This story is gaining some traction, which I’m so grateful for. But I am seeing some people discuss engaging with the bot, and I really want to caution against doing that, even as a joke. Doing so is putting yourself in harm’s way. 🧵

AI has reached a new frontier: conversion therapy for trans kids. Detrans AI‘s site claims it helps users explore their gender dysphoria. Instead, it cites conspiracy theories and seeks to invalidate trans people — even if it risks their lives. Read my original reporting @rewirenewsgroup.com

NEW: The Supreme Court ruled against Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, affirming that all children born in the U.S., regardless of whether parents are unlawfully or temporarily present, retain the constitutional right to citizenship enshrined in the 14th Amendment.

I'm late to reading this but it's so good and so important: "From organizing protests and campaigns to recover funding, to launching an independent nonprofit newsroom, student journalists are fighting to save college journalism."

As college newspapers are defunded, student journalists fight back

At least 20 U.S. colleges have significantly cut funding to student media, according to a Prism analysis. Students are taking strategic business risks to sustain newsrooms
