I’m so thankful that, despite Ken Paxtons actions, Aleksandra is with us today. She has become an invaluable investigative reporter and the world is better off because she is in it. The energy she brings to our movement is contagious! Vote against Paxton

I'm reading my torts casebook, and there is a case from the early 1900s where the court determined that a can of sparkling water is an inherently destructive instrument, and I find that really amusing.

An angry mob allegedly beat them. The police charged them. The municipality voted for one of the most severe anti-trans bathroom ordinances in the country.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

There are a lot of vultures who used this story to relentlessly attack a Black man to build up their own platforms. There's a lot of influencers and so called journalists deleting a lot of posts and articles after this news broke. I fear none of them will learn a lesson from this.

The thing about that Heritage Center paper against women's sports is not just the hypocrisy, or even the blatant sexism. A real argument is building in the courts to toss the longstanding rules that have caused schools to expand girls' sports. The story: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Heritage Foundation only wanted to protect women's sports when it was about trans athletes
Not anymore.

This is really bleak.
A screenshot of a social media post with the title "Lawyer told me he always turns down trans clients," followed by a pink tag reading "MtF". The body of the post reads:
​"A lawyer recently mentioned to me that every single time he and his colleagues have taken on legal representation for a trans woman, they’ve lost at trial or have been unable to negotiate a settlement. His reasoning was that, regardless of how strong the evidence is or how blatant the discrimination, juries hold an intense prejudice against trans women. He claims to support trans rights, but his take was essentially that these cases are impossible to win in front of a jury. That you have a fighting chance to win a case if you belong to any protected classes except for trans."

1. In the aftermath of forcing the Ohio Progressive Caucus to delete criticism of Amy Acton for calling trans girls "boys," progressives were promised a meeting with Acton. Now, we have learned she didn't show up, and kicked trans people out of the meeting. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The thing about these bans is that they filter down to even rec leagues. These tennis associations such as the USTA also oversee amateur and rec league regulations. So a trans woman wanting to do some casual matches with friends is also banned. It's about exclusion, not fairness.
