Brief 🧵, as someone who has studied mass shootings for 13 years:
-gender does not cause them -SSRIs, no -mental illness, no -internet/gaming, no
Above can be compounding factors—but motive is complex, often very. The most fundamental combo:
suicidality + rage + isolation + easy access to guns
Yes plus meat and “soy boy” discourse.
I sound insane when I say this but I truly believe a big part of the Trump admin’s approach to energy policy is driven by gender anxiety. They think coal and oil are manly and renewables are effeminate.
Breaking News: The Trump administration ordered construction to stop on a $4 billion wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island that has already mostly been built.
The order to stop construction on Revolution Wind off the coast of Rhode Island is part of a campaign against renewable energy.
Of yesterday's Supreme Court ruling, which allows hundreds of NIH grant terminations to proceed, @scott-delaney.bsky.social says: “I see no viable, no reasonably likely scenario where that research comes back. I think it’s gone.”

<i>The Chronicle</i> is tracking executive orders, statements from Trump, and agency actions that affect higher education, plus legal challenges directed at those measures. Here’s the latest.
Yesterday the Supreme Court issued a convoluted, 36-page emergency order about NIH grant terminations. Two main takeaways: -$2 billion (not the government # of $780 million) in NIH grants will likely be re-terminated -future legal challenges will be much harder
The decision will hinder lawsuits against grant terminations, legal specialists say.
Mike's really getting to the heart of things with this.
Heck, I run a trans news site and, other than cisgender, I use the rest of these rarely if at all.
I actually agree that Democrats should refrain from using most of these. And they already do! When was the last time a Senator said 'heteronormative'?
The bigger problem is that orgs like Third Way are reinforcing this false, right-wing narrative. Dems can't stop doing something they're not doing!
ok so the times witnessed reporters receiving cash from Adams people three times at mayoral events and sat on it for over a month but couldn’t pass up a hot tip from a neonazi about Mamdani’s unsuccessful college application for long enough to check if the neonazi had already been identified

"The only way they can win is if they cheat."
While state lawmakers bent the knee and pushed through Trump's gerrymandered maps in the Texas House, we spoke with Texans about what it means to them. Here's what they said.
There is no solace for NIH funded researchers in this Supreme Court decision. Grants that were ripped away on dubious grounds, restored by a reasonable judge are now again terminated by an out-of-control Supreme Court. Labs will shutter, people will lose jobs. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
The U.S. Supreme Court let President Donald Trump's administration on Thursday proceed with sweeping cuts to National Institutes of Health grants for research related to racial minorities or LGBT people, part of his crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and transgender identity.
