They restricted these surveys in multiple states in the last few years. States moved to require opt in with parental consent to administer the surveys. Then the CDC stopped reporting data about gender identity in 2025. Given the broader anti LGBTQ hostility it's not a surprise numbers declined.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

meme of guy looking at girl walking past while his actual gf looks at him angrily. the guy is "The West", his gf is "China Does Something Right," and the other girl is "But at what cost?"

beneath the meme are various screenshots of headlines that basically say "chinda did something good, but at what cost?"

This is a critical point we need to understand. In the late 1950s, early 1960s black civil rights were LESS popular among the democratic base than the democratic politicians. It was through the bully pulpit that it became increasingly popular with the base. Politicians have power to change minds.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

The crux of the liberal argument is that trans people should sacrifice their rights so that others can rights. The idea they want to present is that of a noble sacrifice akin to a soldier jumping on a grenade to save his squad.

Not voting for someone is in fact not the same as voting for someone else. It is beyond unreasonable to expect a group to vote for someone who is not willing to advocate for them. Such an expectation exist in stark violation of the very idea democracy one might argue.

And if we were largely seeing it among minorities, it would be treated like child abuse. Parents who refused to get the MMR would have their kids taken. But since it's mostly white people, suddenly it's an idea we have to respect.

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:
Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

I'm a little curious why you'd go to the mat for a Nazi's academic freedom, yet a search of your skeets reveals no mention of trans people or the genocide in Gaza, the two most significant subjects over which academic freedom has been under attack. You've never skeeted about Rümeysa Öztürk. Why?
