If you want to know how fucking dangerous the New York Times' position on trans coverage, note

1. The NYT has not, as far as I can tell, covered yesterday's horrific Missouri news but

2. The Missouri AG *cited the Times* in ending transcare!!!! https://t.co/VLuHvYaQ8N

The Tennessee legislature responds to the Tyre Nichols murder by . . . overriding police accountability measures passed by voters, stripping civilian review boards of their power, and making it more difficult to investigate abuse and excessive force.

How legacy media outlets laundered transphobic talking points into a kind of “centrist,” “just asking questions” position. https://t.co/KpTAXWK8HN

this punitive asshole spends years hyping every petty crime in California demanding prison time for shoplifting, dumping millions into recalling reform prosecutors then gets ratio’d on Twitter for 48hrs and has the gall to play the “why is everyone such a meanie” card.

This is a leak of thousands of emails between the Alliance Defending Freedom, the American Principles Project, Liberty Counsel, WoLF, and other anti-trans groups detailing strategy and coordination on anti-trans bills with politicians and conversion therapists. Have at it.

LOL incredible stuff here with @Walllgreens CFO admitting that despite all the relentless noise made about retail theft last year, "we're quite happy with where we are," and literally telling investors "we probably cried too much."

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

to save some nickels Hertz mindlessly reported 1000s of cars stolen a year and got dozens of people arrested and jailed. Their punishment is to settle a lawsuit, none of the Hertz execs responsible for ruining lives and getting people kidnapped and caged will see a day in prison

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

this is an absolutely insane admission but tracks across the nation. they beefed the crime wave narratives in collaboration w/ local news, and now that the elections are over, they will tell you that it was a lie and that they are doing a great job.

people often act like leftists are conspiracy theorists for saying that the state coordinates the rule of capital. helpful to remember that state representatives basically say this themselves

NO MATTER WHAT those dorks @ the Supreme Court say about abortion — you (yes, YOU!) can get abortion pills mailed to you no matter where you live.

Mifepristone + Misoprostol 💊 💊

@AidAccessUSA does “advanced provision” which means you don’t have to be pregnant to get them!

Three state representatives from the outskirts of Pittsburgh and Gettysburg announce they are circulating a co-sponsorship memo about removing an official elected and re-elected by Philadelphia voters by overwhelming margins, and this is how the local CBS station covers it.

[Taniel @Taniel]

Federal judges block Ohio’s Supreme Court from enforcing the state’s anti-gerrymandering provisions.

Saying voters can punish the party that gerrymandered the maps to prevent voters from punishing them is so transparently laughable.

A story that's not getting enough national attention: Here in the Myrtle Beach, S.C. area for the past 13 years, the FBI and local law enforcement officials left the impression that a white girl on vacation was abducted by a 16-year-old black dude who did evil things to her. 1/
