I literally said to Portia this morning, there's gonna be a shield law lawsuit soon. I didn't think it would be TODAY. Louisiana, Arkansas, and Alabama have filed a bill of complaint with the U.S. Supreme Court against New York, Massachusetts, and California. Hold on to your butts.

…Because, the story goes, we need the votes of people who *don’t* want full trans rights. Because THEY have that purity test, and must be catered to. So trans people and the people who love them should just suck it up and watch their rights taken away. For some mythical voter’s (yep) purity test.

I hate the dismissive way politics-heads talk about lefties having “purity tests” as an insult. It’s such a sneer. But looked at another way - what it really means is that they have DIFFERENT purity tests. E.g. if we demand full trans rights, that’s supposedly a purity test. Why? [cont]

Purity test is shorthand for “you care about the people I have already decided are expendable.”

I'm just real tired of hearing people claim that my position on trans rights is a purity test. You wouldn't say that about race. So what the hell. I have never said that people should not vote for Talarico. Never not once. Get a grip.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Precisely. And I make that point in the pod! If there's one thing SCOTUS hates more than Black people voting, it's lower courts ignoring its orders. That's why SCOTUS smacked the 8th Circuit upside the head. The goal wasn't to help Black voters in KC. That was just a happy accident.

this administration illegally shut down federal agencies, impounded money from Congress, set up for-profit concentration camps and sent children there. They dismantled our public health infrastructure and children died of measles. Doing accountability for crimes against our Constitution is the work.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

If that's your concern, I have great news! There's no evidence that trans people have any kind of physical advantage in athletics, and some evidence that they may be at a disadvantage.

like, literally the history of women's sports is "woman wins unisex competition, competition is split into men's and women's". you don't have to take my word for it, look at the Olympics in the early 20th century. sorry you're feeling a way, but facts don't care about your feelings.

hi. women's sports exist because men can't deal with being outcompeted by them. moreover, given equivalent support, men and women in the same weight class are on broadly equivalent footing. let kids play, ffs.

Missouri Republicans really want to run the midterms on a racist MAGA map. Last Monday, the 8th Circuit said yes. On Friday, SCOTUS was like 'wtf, man' and smacked down the 8th Circuit for ignoring TWO prior orders requiring use of the non-racist map. The ruling ended up helping Black voters. 👀

Oh, it’s even worse. To be very clear—I support trans people and think this whole thing is bullshit. But title 9 also creates a pathway on campuses and federal spaces for people who have been sexually harassed, stalked and assaulted to be protected and seek investigation.

(Even then, despite trans athletes being allowed in the Olympics for nearly two decades, no trans woman competing in women's categories ever won a medal, and the overall number of trans women who have won any sports competitions is anomalously low)

Trans athletes should be accepted, and should be able to win and succeed just like any other athletes, and a trans athlete winning every so often is not evidence that there's an underlying truth in banning them.

Discrimination against us isn't just bad because the hypothetical issue is tiny. The entire basis people have for believing it is an issue is false. Plenty of people think the bans are too discriminatory but that they are based in "common sense", and that's wrong, and should be pushed back against.

I mean, the science of it is worth getting into. These bans have no scientific backing. Research has mostly failed to show that trans athletes have any real aggregate advantages after a couple years on HRT. If there *were* a large number of trans athletes it wouldn't make the bans correct, either.
