In January, Katie Feeney nervously waded across the turf at FedEx Field, home stadium of the Washington Commanders (formerly Redskins). The Maryland native, 19, had been invited by the team to unofficially try out for a role that didn’t yet exist — the Commanders’ social media correspondent. And though she is something of a content savant — having amassed nearly seven million followers on TikTok and 900,000 on Instagram, and earned an eye-popping fortune — this was a whole other challenge.   “I was shooting behind-the-scenes content of the players warming up, hanging out with the fans, anything they did before the game, essentially,” Feeney said. She passed with flying colors. The team’s posts on Instagram typically bring in several thousand likes and 100 or so comments. Feeney’s, however, earned more than 42,000 likes and 730 comments. Feeney, at FedEx Field, was an instant social-media hit for with the Washington Commanders, snapping photos of players as they warmed up and mingled with fans.

The first image from SnapChat with the time stamp of 1.22am appeared to show a zip lock bag containing white powder. The accompanying text said: "Defo chucking it soon heads fried."

A trans teenager attempted suicide in Texas on the same day that governor Greg Abbott ordered the state to investigate families like his for “child abuse”. In February, the Republican governor instructed Texas’ child services agency to investigate families and healthcare workers providing gender-affirming care for trans youth.  Abbott issued the directive after attorney general Ken Paxton said healthcare for trans youth, including “life-saving” puberty blockers, was comparable to “child abuse”. For one trans teenager, fearing the onslaught to come, the double whammy was an attack too far, and he attempted suicide. “ said that the political environment, including Abbott’s Letter, and being misgendered at school, led him to take these actions,” a lawsuit against Abbott and other Texas officials said. According to the suit, the teen survived and was admitted as an outpatient at a psychiatric facility. There, workers came to know that he was undergoing hormonal therapy. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) launched an investigation into the teenager’s family. DFPS agents visited his family home and told them the psychiatric facility had reported the family for “child abuse”. Texas governor Greg Abbott has faced a firestorm of criticism over his repeated attacks against trans youth. (Yasin Ozturk/Anadolu Agency via…
