A 13-year-old had AI intimate deepfakes created of her.

The school took no action, she got in a fight, & was sent to an alternative school.

The boy who created the deepfakes faced no school discipline.

This isn't an isolated story - it's the reality of unregulated AI.

If they have any kind of power at all—journalist, politician, healthcare commissioner—your position on DIY HRT is, “What’s that? A new kind of hammer? For DIY? Can I get it on Amazon?”
Don't talk to journalists about DIY HRT.

Because this has gotten so much traction I must also specify—the issue is not that men CAN’T clean. The issue is domestic labor is STILL overwhelmingly performed by women. It’s not a question of ability. It’s how this work is actually divvied up and how people think it should be divvied up.

With regards to less sex and actual loneliness, women are experiencing these things, too. Women may be more likely to have friends than men, but women are still getting lonelier. Women struggle with dating. The newer male struggle is expecting but not having someone to do your laundry for you

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

Biden nominated Carr to remain a member of the FCC because he believed Carr's longstanding statements of support for an independent FCC focused on preserving freedom of expression on the airwaves were truthful, and not fraudulent.
They were fraudulent.
KIM: I want to read you a quote & see if you agree with it. 'Congress long ago determined that the FCC is an independent expert agency.' Is that correct?

CARR: Senator, there has been a sea change in the law & approach since I wrote that sentence

KIM: Yes you did. You said it in front of Congress

1. Earlier this year, Yale and CCMC capitulated to the Trump administration and ended care for trans youth.

Now, 10 families are suing them for violating state law.

Hospitals cannot be made to believe throwing trans people under the bus is risk free.

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Reagan.
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

Zero intelligence secrets, sources, or methods are put at risk by showing a video of a boat exploding, or of shipwrecked people clinging to boat pieces hit by a missile and exploding.

Such a video reveals absolutely nothing about how the US identified that boat, located it, or chose to attack it.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.

I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.
We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

These laws are to censor LGBTQ voices off the internet. The co-sponsor of KOSA, just one of the 18 censorship/surveillance laws, said we need to pass it to protect kids from “the transgender in society”. These laws will remove ALL anonymity from the internet endangering activists, journalists,etc
KOSA Won’t Just Silence LGBTQ Voices; It Will Also Be Used To Hide Abortion Info From The Internet
We’ve highlighted in great detail how KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act), sponsored by Senators Richard Blumenthal and Marsha Blackburn, which currently has an astounding 46 cosponsors, will be used…

“A reckless and bias-driven abandonment of protections enacted unanimously by Congress 22 years ago that will inevitably lead to state-sponsored rape.”
The Trump Administration's cruelty towards the trans community truly knows no boundaries as a new scheme seeks to strip trans women of protection against rape in prison.

That's our top story to lead off your week in trans news at Assigned Media.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies.

Either way, never trust them again.
If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

“I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”
