The governor of America’s richest and most populous state yesterday doubled down on his new law, which requires that schools hide a psychiatric disorder known as gender dysphoria from parents.California Governor Gavin Newsom claims his law “protects the child-parent relationship” and prevents the government from “inappropriately intervening in family matters.”This is disinformation. Newsom knows full well that his law prevents schools from telling parents when their children have come to believe that they are the opposite sex and were born into the wrong body.This is dangerous because the next step is for doctors to give those children and adolescents puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and the final treatment, surgery.Parents in California should know that Gavin Newsom has put their children in danger.We are organizing a movement to fight back.

Statement by Environmental Progress Founder and President Michael Shellenberger: “Brazil’s Attorney General has just accused me of having committed a “probable” crime because I published the “Twitter Files – Brazil.” It’s a monstrous lie. President Lula is persecuting me because I exposed the government’s illegal censorship. The Lula Government is spreading disinformation and ridiculous conspiracy theories that are easy to debunk, as I do in the video below. “President Lula’s persecution of me for publishing accurate information is an attack on Brazil’s Constitution, which protects free speech and democracy, including for foreigners. “I will fight back and win.” Documento do AGU – Português Attorney General Brazil Order – English
