If you're upset at the Washington Post and LA Times being controlled by billionaires, consider following independent journalists. Legacy media has been on the downswing for a while now, and there are really amazing people stepping in and doing the work themselves.

A list:

You can subscribe to him at .lawdork.com/about

1. In a new escalation, Odessa, Texas has just enacted the first ever bathroom bounty law targeting trans people.

It puts $10K bounties on trans people using the bathroom in the city, payable by the trans person to the cis person.

2. The new ordinance, which passed this week, is the first of its kind in the nation - it will require trans people pay cis people who accuse them of being in the wrong bathroom "no less than $10,000" in a civil procedure.

You can read my latest here:

3. The bounty, which echoes abortion bounties in Texas, applies to any trans person who "enters or uses a restroom in a public building designated for exclusive use by persons that do not correspond to their biological sex."

1. A recent story was published to the New York Times by Azeen Ghorayshi claiming that a prominent gender researcher, Joanna Olson-Kennedy, is withholding data on trans care from a NIH grant.

A fact check shows this to be highly misleading.

2. The latest piece is an example of why so few people trust the New York Times when it comes to journalism around transgender people. Facts are selectively omitted and nefarious and misleading claims run constantly.

Read my latest:

3. I want to point out that this week had many studies on transgender care... including a study in the prestigious journal Nature Human Behavior showing a 72% increase in suicide attempts as a response to anti-trans legislation.

Not found on the NYT though. Instead, this.

1. In what may be a sign for US Republican counterparts, the PC Premier Blaine Higgs has lost his election.

Earlier this year, he reportedly called his anti-trans stances and controversial policies "a political winner" to the Canadian Press.

2. Blaire Higgs' loss comes as anti-trans ads have been raging across the United States, promoted by Republicans with access to tens of millions of dollars.

Higgs saw his party lose on this issue last night in a sweeping defeat.

Read my latest piece:

erininthemorning.com/p/conservative…
3. Earlier this year, in an interview with the Canadian Press, Higgs defended his record on anti-trans policies like changes to 713, which required trans youth be forcibly outed to their parents.

He said he "would not change anything."

Now he's lost.

1. A conversion therapy organization has filed a brief with the Supreme Court's trans ban case asserting that Lyme Disease, Strep Throat, and even manga are what makes people transgender.

This is, of course, pseudoscience.

Subscribe to support my journalism. Lets dig in. Image
2. The brief, which was filed in support of Tennessee's gender affirming care ban currently being heard by the Supreme Court, turns to many fake causes of being transgender to explain why trans youth do not need gender affirming care.

My latest story:

erininthemorning.com/p/conversion-t…
3. The brief was founded by Jeanette Cooper, from Partners for Ethical Care. She been infamous in the anti-trans fight for running a large parents group of parents who practice conversion therapy on their kids. Her own trans kid no longer speaks to her.

1. In the face of $20 million in anti-trans ads, Gov. Tim Walz just defended queer and trans youth at length on Glennon Doyle's podcast.

He includes medical rights, identity rights, and more.

It follows Kamala Harris' strong Fox News answer.

2. Walz pulled no punches, calling out anti-trans attack ads for fomenting hate and demonizing a minority to maintain political power.

You can read my story here, where I cover his most notable quotes.

3. The line of questioning came midway through the interview, where Walz was asked about what the administration would do for queer kids.

1. In a hostile interview with Fox News tonight, Harris was asked about anti-trans ads by Brett Baier.

These ads have swept the nation, over $80 million spent nationwide.

She shut down the question in a way no other Dem has this week.

2. In her answer to Baier in the Fox News interview, Kamala Harris stated that she would follow the law, which requires inmates get medically necessary care.

She also admonished Trump for spending $20M on ads like this "to create fear"

3. In the leadup to the interview, many people believed she would be asked an anti-trans question. The Trump administration has spent $20M, in addition to tens of millions by outside groups, on such ads.
