1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman. This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces. Subscribe to support our journalism.

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

Types of political violence America does not condemn (incomplete list): - Denying Transgender people's existence - Police brutality and ICE raids - Not providing affordable healthcare to all It may not always be as gory as a bullet to the neck, but that doesn't make it any less horrific.

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation
Eric Adams surrounded by members of the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation. He is wearing a blue velvet jacket that is embroidered with gold Magen David’s and other Jewish seeming patterns, including multiple menorahs. Everyone else is just in button down shirts or normal suits. He is not blending in.

Today I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The courts & public outcry forced Trump to return him to MD, but Trump’s cronies keep lying about his case & are engaged in a malicious abuse of power to try to deport him to Uganda. As I told Kilmar, I won’t stop fighting for justice & due process for all:

Part of what's driving the Trump Admin's attacks on NOAA is they want to privatize the National Weather Service. They made it clear in Project 2025 — instead of weather forecasts & climate data being a public good, they want to sell it to the highest bidder. A corrupt bargain.

Today’s ruling in the Abrego Garcia case is important to upholding the rule of law against a lawless president. It’s clear Trump would rather deport him to a third country without regard for his due process rights than argue the case in court — but it just doesn't work that way:

BREAKING: Israeli settlers have killed a young Palestinian-American. He was visiting from Florida, where he helped run his family ice cream shop. Comes days after we asked senators if they knew how many Americans have been killed in Palestine & Lebanon since 10/7. None did. He is now the 7th.

We've been on the Senate floor for 25 hours fighting this awful bill. Republicans have blocked us at every step — while rewriting the bill behind closed doors to strong-arm their members into cutting health care for 17 million people to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Shameful.

Mahmoud should’ve never missed the birth of his child, or his first Father’s Day, or being with his wife during countless precious moments as a growing family. His release today underscores what so many of us have said. His detention was unjust. We need to end these disappearings.

They keep insisting they’re not cutting Medicaid and then turn around and say the quiet part out loud. Millions will lose care under this budget deal. Don’t be fooled. This is a plan to strip working people of their health care, pure and simple.

"How many acts of genocide does it take to make a genocide?" As people debate the term "genocide," I think back to this question we asked the Biden administration just a few months ago, back in December. Israeli forces have killed at least 10,000 people since then.

Today marks 3 years since Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot and killed while reporting in the West Bank—and we've yet to see accountability for her death. As I told her brother Tony, her niece Lina and her nephew Victor last week, I won't rest until we do.

I'm furious that anyone who needs food or medicine or shelter cannot get it. I'm furious that so much food and medicine has rotted b/c of Israel's malice. I'm more furious that after all this that there are people who think fundraisers are scam. It's pulverizing my heart.

omg pinning this and retweeting the New York Post right before is massive “I’m not mad you’re mad” energy. Fascists continue to prove how absolutely pathetic they are. Demanding due process before sending someone away for life shouldn’t cause a tantrum like this.
Screenshot of Bukele’s tweets about Kilmar that he pinned.

Pinned tweet is a quote tweet. The quote reads: Now that he’s been confirmed healthy, he gets the honor of staying in El Salvador’s custody 🇺🇸🤝🏼🇸🇻

The original tweet also by Bukele reads: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the “death camps” & “torture”, now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!🍹
