"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?
Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…
Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.
Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."
I had seen the "hold me in contempt so I can sleep" line, but the whole transcript is striking. Julie Le she tried to quit but then stayed so she could get more people OUT of detention; and expressed concern that her own family might get picked up.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
If you don't like how Dems act in the minority put them in the majority. This would not be happening if Kamala was president and we had a Dem Congress
7 Democrats — with the blessing of Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic leadership — just voted with Republicans to give these agents even more money
lol Pogust Goodhead
The Democrats have impeached him twice but do not have the votes to do it again right now
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him
WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO
Trump reaching new lows: only 37% approval & 71% of adults say the country is out of control.

"The sweeping study... found that using AI in education can 'undermine children's foundational development' and that 'the damages it has already caused are daunting.'"
They include limiting kids' cognitive, social, and emotional developmen, and increasing inequity.

The risks of AI in schools outweigh the benefits, report says
A new report warns that AI poses a serious threat to children's cognitive development and emotional well-being.
Here's the thing: the clever thing would have been for the bigots to do exactly that - find a cis boy to "challenge" the laws. The fact that they couldn't find one just shows how remote a possibility it is. The Daily Caller doofuses literally tried it but failed
You just know they thought they were so fucking clever when they came up with it, like no one had thought of it before
Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

This is great, don't get me wrong, but it's so draining to have to celebrate studies that confirm things that are so obvious to us. Like if Popular Science was like "we're not going to be swayed by public opinion: water is wet."
Just believe us, it's so much easier
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.
Reminder that you don't have to worry about the 3 Dems who disgraced themselves on this if the Dems are in the majority because it never comes up for a vote

utterly incapable of grace
"The NYT reporting that I am old is treason" is a fantastic example of Trump's "l'etat c'est moi" thinking. To him, he is America and America is him. If it's good for him, it's good for America. If it's not good for him, it's not good for America
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."
I get why this is good, but I also hate that suicidality is the metric here. I wasn't going to kms, but I was miserable, and now I'm not. That should be enough!

"Suicidality scores among the [study's] patients who provided responses dropped by over 67 percent."
"[O]f the hundreds of patients who started hormone therapy, only seven discontinued their treatment."

New Study: Gender-Affirming Care Dramatically Lowers Suicide Risk for Trans Kids
Twenty-seven states in the US ban gender-affirming treatments for trans youth, including hormone therapy.
