You're not gonna believe this but @cbsnews.com appears to not have a story about some of the largest mass protests in American history anywhere on its main page.

Emergency rally against Fenway Health's capitulation to Trump today at 4:00.

The institutions that are supposed to protect us cannot toss aside Transgender people to protect LGB people.

We are all in this together.

Boston Dyke March @bostondykemarch.com · 20d

Friends!

We’ll see you today for this emergency rally outside Fenway Health.

Join us to protest their shameful decision to abandon Trans Youth!

EMRGENCY RALLY

Fenway Community Health Center Join us to protest Fenway's new policy ending all transgender healthcare for those under the age of 19

Friday 10/17/25
1340 Boylston Street
4 - 6 PM

We cannot allow our institutions of health to abandon transgender youth!
Fenway's caving to bureaucratic fear sets a precedent that the
administration's threats are effective and only serves to validate their continued efforts to chip away at the rights of our most vulnerable here in Massachusetts!

The deepest quiet worry here is not that he's posting AI video of himself pretending this is real.

The deep concern is that they are testing AI video of him to see if we can still tell it's AI. Because if your ideologue dies and you have no maga cult, you lose power, unless you can convince them

Cannot be repeated enough: this was not a voluntary resignation program. Workers were told they were more valuable in the private sector, that they might be fired from their jobs, that they could expect no reasonable work accommodations, that they would work for leaders who were undermining services

I spoke with federal workers who took the deferred resignation program set to take effect on September 30

"I was forced to" one worker said "through fear and intimidation."

it's really jarring to see how little media attention the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their dog Gilbert received in comparison to the notable death of a non-elected leader of a right-wing organization.

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.

It’s an absolute shame that DC fired Gretchen Felker- Martin for exercising free speech and then @bsky.app suspended her account. Every writer here should be decrying this because we have to stand up for each other! This is ridiculous.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life

Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.
