- How Trump scams border hawks: He's making it easier for Big Business to import foreign indentured servants. Absolutely devastating essay by United Farm Workers official Antonio de Loera-Brust. unherd.com/2026/02/how-...
- Plastic surgeons bail on the Cronenbergian horror of "gender-affirming care" for minors. And thereby shatter the fragile expert consensus in favor of gender medicine that was upheld more by activism than science. unherd.com/2026/02/plas...
- On Tuesday, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons came out in opposition to providing gender-transition surgeries to minors. It's a reminder that science can trump ideology when investigators follow its time-tested processes. unherd.com/2026/02/plas...
- On Tuesday, the American Society for Plastic Surgeons came out in opposition to providing gender-transition surgeries to minors. The recommendation is the first of its kind from a mainstream medical association. @benryanwriter.bsky.social reports for UnHerd. unherd.com/2026/02/plas...
- "For years, proponents of pediatric gender medicine appeared to have an ironclad medical consensus behind them... But the consensus was always a mirage — and this week, at least among major US medical groups, it officially vanished." unherd.com/2026/02/plas...

- It's baaaaaaaaaack. unherd.com/2026/02/woke...
- “Woke 2.0 is eschewing both theory and institutional takeover for militant action and sheer rage.” unherd.com/2026/02/woke...
