As a group, "likely noncitizens" would clearly have some citizens in it.

Reading these filings in KMK at SCOTUS, I'm puzzled by the oft cited B.P.J. decision. Specifically, why is it called B.P.J. - that plaintiff lost that case. The court crushed her dreams. And now her initials are run through the mud every time a bigot wants to hurt a transgender athlete in court?

Washington officials respond to the KMK lawsuit. It's soo good. Title 9 prohibits intentional discrimination, not disparate impact. KMK has the relief already - opt out any match. KMK just disagrees with the inclusive policy, too bad. This, not an emergency. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/26...

I feel fortunate in Florida that I get to vote for answers, not questions.

Spent most of the day cranking my emotion engine trying to get mad about the 500 trees. Starter's dead for me on that one. The judge is angry with the govt, and angry with themself for trusting the govt. That's enough anger, I don't have to add.

Just thinking out loud... states license the ability to operate a motor vehicle. A state legislature could remove that ability from federal officers. Or regulate it into the ground (require extra seat belts, extra wheels, wind powered vehicles).

This new Sherrod Brown ad debunks a anti trans ad while tying the Republican senate candidate to Jeffrey Epstein. THIS is how you fight back against anti trans ads.

NEW: If Trump and Hegseth weren’t trying to kick trans people out of the military, a Navy board recently wrote of a trans women that it “without reservation would recommend retention based on a record of exemplary service," lawyers revealed today. www.lawdork.com/i/219495792/...
Absent ALNAV 011/26, the board without reservation would recommend retention based on a record of exemplary service.
• If separated from Naval Service, the board recommends waiving recoupment of debt associated with service education program costs based on LT Winchell's demonstrated exemplary service.

I would expect a pediatrician to avoid slurs and speak with clarity about medicine. Disappointed in SC D Senator candidate Annie Andrews new transphobia ad. This ad because a bully called her a name. That was all it took for her to side with the bully.

Listening to a DOJ lawyer argue that viewpoint discrimination is permitted against federal funding of art that involves transgender people, because decency is a recognized permissible exception for government funded speech. I'm not the best, but I'm decent. Hello?

I'm listening to an appellate judge asking plaintiff - whether another court meant gender or birth sex (not the term the judge used). His next questions are whether women as a category ever faced discrimination or lesser treatment.

This cry-bully case was on Friendly Athiest a few weeks ago. She lost her match and later learned her opponent was trans. Fake assault charges were investigated and dropped. Here's the lower court decision explaining why the requested relief cannot be granted, consistent with SCOTUS precedent.

Takes like this can be fun I guess. However: 1. Open hypocrisy is a power flex. 2. If you use those words this way, you are (hopefully inadvertently) signaling that you agree with their worst impulses.

Talbott on appeal in DC, a notice was filed by the plaintiff that they have been removed from military service. Kingdom at SCOTUS, a filing is due on the 8th by plaintiffs to protect transgender prisoners. Doe v Ladapo on appeal at 11th, 629 days since oral argument without decision. FL's animus.

Senate elections are very important. Senators confirm federal judges and Justices. The current Senate has been flooding the judiciary with R's. Florida, Texas, Maine - could all go D in the Senate. That would change everything in the judiciary.

If I learned anything from the cake case and the website case, business owners do have a Constitutional leg to stand on when an event promotes messages that conflict with deeply held views of morality. This business owner didn't cancel the event, but I think they could. bsky.app/profile/frie...

I peeked in at right-wing media and saw wall-to-wall defense of the Cornell 7 rapists. Rape isn't a crime to them. The right-wing political position is that men can do whatever they want to whoever they want. It's a strange bridge to jump off of.

Listening to this clip - it sounds like they're making progress. We have: 1. gender != sex != sex orientation 2. biological sex change happens 3. questioning of previously held assumptions They could find a knowledge-able person to help, but this is overall positive, imo.

In recent history, a politician was impeached for a phone call asking for someone to announce a fake investigation for political purpose. Today Mullen announced 300k fake investigations. Mullen works for the same politician. Impeach and remove both, Mullen first.

I mean yeah - legislators have constitutionally protected speech and the rules of the House only protect legislators. The only accountability to be had for the false and defamatory speech of a legislator, is up to the voters. Schmitt isn't on this ballot, but R's that stand with his dumb ass are.

Paxton wants to go to DC to suck Trump's toes. He's not going to solve any economic issue. He is going to slavishly worship the biggest authority he can, and that's the president. He destroyed TX families and drove people from the state as AG. A thorough and unashamed bigot. TX can do better.

I remembered this late 2025 speech as an oval office address, but seemingly it was just a national broadcast from another room. Copilot confirms. I have a parade of horrible hypotheticals of what we might see at 2PM, but that's close enough I'll just wait instead of speculating.
