"Miss Major is at home on hospice," Beck Witt Major said in a Facebook post Saturday. "She is comfortable and surrounded by love."

Grande shared a post Sunday from liberal activist Matt Bernstein that included a paragraph that said, It's been 250 days. Now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all has your life gotten better? Entertainment Weekly received a statement from the White House on the Wicked star's political statement online.

As repressive forces escalate, attempting to quash our ability to speak freely, it's as crucial as ever to listen to the voices of incarcerated people who experience extreme repression every day, yet continue to speak out. As Renaldo Hudson recently wrote in Stateville Speaks: "We cannot let the experiences of our incarcerated brothers, sisters, and siblings be dismissed. They are the frontline witnesses to a system that has normalized control over care. Their stories matter."

The "Let Kids Be Kids" rally, organized by the Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA), called for an end to gender-affirming care for minors, including puberty blockers, hormone therapy and genital surgery some of which isn't currently available for people under 18 in Canada.

The scheme, which will require all working adults to obtain a digital "Brit card," is reportedly part of No. 10's plans to tackle illegal migration, according to The Guardian. Starmer said the IDs would play an "important part" in what he described as "patriotic renewal" by making it more difficult for migrants to access work in the UK. He will reportedly outline measures, which will likely include legislation, during a conference on Friday (26 September).

Rowling wrote the Harry Potter book series that catapulted Emma to global fame when she was cast as one of the leading roles in the movie adaptations at age 10.

Musk's gaming habits have been continually mocked after he 'rage quit' a Path of Exile 2 livestream in April over his clearly poor performance. In an effort to showcase Starlink's Wi-Fi capabilities, Musk livestreamed the video game while aboard his private jet. The broadcast was brief; however, after the game's chat function was inundated with users mocking Musk, both for his poor gaming skills and for "ruining the [US]" through his political actions while he was head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

"You know what the irony is?" King asked. "She wrote eight books about children having autonomy and the ability to make their own choices, which is possibly the most trans thing I've ever heard. She could have had these books go down as some of the greatest young-adult writing in the world - all she had to do was shut the f**k up." Rowling's views were "spitting in the space of [the author's] fandom", they added.

On Sunday (7 September) Carpenter attended the awards ceremony where she won three awards, Best Pop Artist, Best Album (for Short n' Sweet), and Best Visual Effects for "Manchild." The "Taste" singer also performed her new song, "Tears", during the show, in which she featured many RuPaul's Drag Race and queer icons. After the performance, Pascal, an ally to the LGBTQ+ community with a trans sister, Lux Pascal, took to his Instagram to celebrate Carpenter.

It is the honour of my life. The first responsibility of government is the safety of its citizens. Every day in this job, I will be devoted to that purpose.
