I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

I’m a Texan Trans Kid Who Almost Died Because of Ken Paxton. The World Should Know What He’s Done.
Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Our settlement requires Meta to adopt sweeping child safety protections on Facebook and Instagram. We are setting a new standard for how social media platforms keep kids safe online.
Child safety features Meta is required to implement on Facebook and Instagram:

Two-hour daily time limit for both platforms.

Mandatory pauses after 15 minutes of continuous use to interrupt endless scrolling.

Nighttime blocks to restrict children’s access to feeds from 12am-6am and
silence notifications from 10pm-7am.

Limited school-time access for children by eliminating push notifications on weekdays from 8am-3pm during the school year.

Robust age verification measures.

Stronger parental supervision controls.

Safer, age-appropriate content controls
to safeguard against bullying, content promoting eating disorders, and content related to suicide and self-harm.

Limits on social comparison features, including beauty filters and visible “like” counts that are linked to poor mental health.

Oversight by an independent auditor.

Screenshot of tweet by Eminem. Text of Eminem's post reads: 

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it.  Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

Attached is an image of a classy and generous letter Dolly Parton sent to Eminem after missing a chance to meet him at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
