Yet another Democrat has released an ad decrying "boys in girls sports." This Democrat is NY-21's Democratic candidate for congress, Blake Gendebien. You can watch his full ad in our latest story. He joins several other Democrats releasing similar ads this cycle.

NY-21 Dem Congressional Candidate Blake Gendebien Releases Ad Decrying “Boys In Girls Sports”

This corresponds with a modest, but growing, trend: Democrats are capitalizing on anti-trans hysteria, or otherwise leaning into Republican narratives on so-called culture war issues.

As the tree regrows, we will work with partners and local communities to celebrate the tree’s legacy but - for now - the stump has grown a thick ring of new shoots which are two to three feet tall, and we're filled with hope by the way nature is taking its course. Photos: Annapurna Mellor

Constance Baker Motley's strategic legal mind fundamentally reshaped the legal landscape of desegregation. As the principal female attorney for the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, she was a leading legal architect of the #CivilRights movement. She died #OTD in 2005. 🧵

A black-and-white close-up portrait of Constance Baker Motley (September 14, 1921 – September 28, 2005), the trailblazing civil rights attorney and first Black woman appointed as a federal judge. Photographed against a plain, neutral background, she poses facing forward with her torso angled slightly to the right, looking just past the camera. She wears her dark hair styled in a voluminous, soft-curled bob with a side part. Her expression is warm and confident, marked by a slight, serene smile and direct, engaged eyes. She is dressed in her black judicial robes, featuring structured pleats down the front, accessorized with simple white button earrings and a delicate bead necklace peeking through the V-neckline. The composition uses soft, flattering lighting that highlights her features, creating a dignified, commanding, and historically significant mood that reflects her trailblazing legal legacy.

The Haven online school @thehavenonline.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

"Won't engage" is often the final stage of a long process of coping alone, sensory overwhelm, social exhaustion, masking past capacity. For #SchoolAvoidanceAwarenessWeek, we're asking professionals to look earlier in that timeline, not just at crisis point. thehavenonline.school

Small rose text reads "#SchoolAvoidanceAwarenessWeek." Below a large decorative quotation mark, bold text reads: "Barriers to attendance in autistic girls are almost always the end of a long road —" followed in rose-pink text by "not the beginning of a behaviour problem." Underneath, smaller gray text reads: "By the time attendance breaks down, the young person has often been coping alone with far more than anyone realised."

Lucille Ball is the Godmother of #StarTrek. As head of Desilu Studios, she overrode her own board of directors to finance the show & convinced network executives to greenlight a second pilot after the first one failed. That second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," first aired #OTD in 1966. 🖖

A digital portrait of Lucille Désirée Ball (1911–1989), the legendary Emmy-winning actress, studio mogul, and "Godmother of Star Trek" whose decisive studio leadership famously saved the franchise from cancellation. This artwork is an AI-adjusted version of an original piece by artist Jamie Fay—which initially depicted her in Captain Janeway’s uniform—now modified to show her in an Original Series Starfleet uniform. Ball sits confidently in a prominent command chair on a starship bridge, legs elegantly crossed at the knee and hands resting on the armrests. She wears a form-fitting, gold command-division tunic featuring a classic black collar, rank braids on the cuffs, and the iconic Starfleet delta insignia pinned to her chest, paired with sharp black trousers and low-heeled black boots. Her signature red hair is styled into an elegant upward coiffure, framing a poised, contemplative expression as she gazes slightly away from the viewer. The background features a sweeping, cinematic view of a colorful interstellar nebula glowing with purple, green, and blue cosmic stardust. The overall composition blends mid-century Hollywood glamour with classic sci-fi iconography, evoking an empowering, authoritative mood that celebrates her immense historical impact on television history.
