More heroes in Minnesota
Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights.

We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs.

Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve been writing this story as often as I can without it feeling repetitive. This is an excellent thread, as all of Jamelle’s threads on this general topic today have been, and I hope folks are really taking this in.
There are places where Trump, as president, has broad freedom of action. And there are places where Trump, as president, has been able to act unilaterally because the main point of opposition, Congress (and SCOTUS), support his program. (1/?)

I'm thinking that at a minimum:

1) ICE needs complete disbanding.

2) ICE members who have violated people's rights need to be prosecuted.

3) Policing across America needs dramatic reform to match European standards for policing.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

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.
