You, yes YOU, can support the high quality, independent science journalism on Assigned Media. Just this week we've featured a piece on the evidence of informed consent, a provocative opinion column by an MD who thinks doctors should stop assigning sex at birth, and more.

However as I explained in an article for @assignedmedia back when the lower court intially ruled to deny arbitration; this is a procedural win that has absolutely zero bearings on the merits of the case. It's just one of many hurdles before goint to trial. assignedmedia.org/breaking-n…

"Why do you think it's OK to support terrorism?" "When a terrible person dies, it's a natural reaction to feel joy!" This interview I did challenging the radical trans activist Evan Urquhart might be the most unhinged interview I've ever conducted.
If they're going to lie outright they should just say all murders in history have been committed by trans people.
Vance: "While our side of the aisle certainly has its crazies, it is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far-Left."

This is egregiously wrong. The First Amendment exists precisely to protect speech some people may find offensive.

Being trans is not a death cult. Quite the opposite: transitioning made me want to live as long as possible now that I can enjoy my life. That's all we're asking for. This hateful rhetoric has to end.

This is an argument I'm seeing a lot lately: First Amendment violations only exist in the criminal law context. It's just not true. There are many ways the government can "abridge" the freedom of speech that do not involve criminal sanctions.
Replying to @NicoPerrino
No one is getting charged with a crime, right? So there’s still free speech.

Most people saying that were blaming transgender people within minutes of the bullet being fired and have largely been working backwards from there
It seems absurd that people are like “the trannies must be locked up” in response to a cis dude committing violence that his trans partner is aghast about and cooperating fully with the authorities over.

This means so much. Good on Bill Kristol.
Two hundred and thirty five years later, there is in this nation a minority group whose rights are under severe attack: transgender individuals. We have a presidential administration which seeks to curtail those individuals’ rights. We have a powerful political movement that wishes to make them afraid. This is wrong. It’s also un-American. Other Americans don’t have to understand or sympathize with transgender individuals. But we ought to defend their basic human rights. via @BillKristol thebulwark.com/p/its-stephen…

Our latest opinion column is by our founder, Evan Urquhart, who writes about why he is celebrating the death of far right podcaster Charlie Kirk.

This is a huge story that is (understandably) being swept under the rug right now. You cannot simultaneously give an extrajudicial deportation police free rein to go knock skulls as they see fit, while also encouraging foreign investment in the American manufacturing market!
