AI is fast. That doesn't mean it's always right.
When an answer looks important, spend one minute checking it:
• Visit the official website.
• Compare it with another trusted source.
• Check if the numbers are current.
• Ask AI where the information came from and double-check the information in real-time.A quick check is better than sharing something you'll have to correct later.

CW: Anti-trans violence claims
Science Explainer: Are trans people a danger to others?
The data runs one way. In the EU, 1 in 5 trans people were physically or sexually attacked within 5 years (FRA 2024). In the US they're 2.5–4x more likely than cis people to be victims of violent crime. Of 5,300+ US mass shootings in a decade, under 0.1% had a trans perpetrator.
Being trans doesn't predict violence — it predicts being targeted by it.

Science Explainer: Is being transgender a choice?
The evidence says no. Identical twins show ~39% concordance for trans identity; fraternal twins near zero. Prenatal-hormone & brain studies point the same way. The Endocrine Society calls it "a durable biological element underlying gender identity" — exactly why the APA & WPATH reject conversion therapy: you can't change what wasn't chosen.
Not new. Not an illness. Not a choice.

THANK YOU #ABCNews.
"One of the reports released by the WH regarding #ElectionInterference concluded:
It would be difficult to manipulate the #election on a wide enough scale to alter the outcome.
And a 2021 Senate report concluded #China did not meddle in the 2020 election."
Thank you, #ABC.

RT @BlackHC: Das Atlantic @TheAtlantic bezeichnet generative KI als "ein Ingenieurs-Desaster." Ich ließ Claude alle 23 überprüfbaren Behauptungen gegen Primärquellen fact-checken: 7 stimmen · 7 benötigen Kontext · 9 halten nicht stand. Fazit: Die ökonomischen Argumente halten stand. Die Informatik-Argumente nicht (das habe ich auch überprüft) 🧵

Railing against the FBI & intelligence agencies’ investigations into to Russian meddling in 2016 is one of Trump’s favorite themes. And in 2020, a majority of intelligence officials assessed that the Russian campaign to denigrate Joe Biden was the most robust.
But #Trump barely mentioned #Russia in his speech Thursday, using most of it to lament Chinese efforts to denigrate him.

It found that officials there had “some capability in manipulating electronic voting systems” to influence outcomes of races IN VENEZUELA. But it cautioned that there was NO definitive evidence that such technology—chiefly created by a company called Smartmatic—had been used to commit “large-scale electronic fraud” in Venezuela, & determined that the Venezuelan government did NOT have the ability to rig #elections OUTSIDE ITS OWN COUNTRY.
-
#Trump also referred to a report about #Venezuela showing it could successfully tamper with #VotingMachines.
But documents posted by the White House featured an analysis by the #CIA last month that assessed intelligence collected over nearly two decades about the Venezuelan government’s ability to rig elections through voting machine tech.

What’s more, former intelligence officials have said, #China gathered the data not to manipulate voting results, but instead to better craft influence campaigns to shape voters’ perceptions.
While the documents outline some nascent interest by Chinese officials in influence operations, they concede Beijing never endorsed any broad-based effort to undercut #Trump.

#Trump described allegations about voter interference in the 2020 vote. He said #China had bought, stolen or hacked tens of millions of voter data files across 18 states. And he attacked a “deep state” conspiracy that he said was aimed at suppressing the information.
But US intelligence & congressional ofcls have long known that China obtained voter data—publicly available information often purchased by political campaigns.

#Trump called for bolstering protections he himself dismantled.
Trump has spent the first part of his 2nd term dismantling #election protections built up over previous years. The #FBI task force on foreign influence was shut down, the #ODNI sharply cut back a task force that warned against foreign meddling & #CISA has been gutted.
And Trump has appointed an heir to a housing fortune with no relevant experience as interim DNI.

The documents also do not contain any significant new revelations about vulnerabilities in #election systems. One of the documents posted on the White House website was blunt∶ “We assess that vote tabulation systems would be difficult to manipulate on a wide enough scale to compromise election results.”
