The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.
We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:

I know this makes some people in the trans community nervous, but I know the science well and I have confidence in it.

I've had online convos with @evanurquhart.bsky.social about how if someone gave us good evidence we'd deffo change our outlook. Science is about exploration, learning new things, and expanding our understanding, even if it means changing what we think 180 degrees. For now, research backs GAC.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.
