One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.
A network graph visualization on a dark background showing connections between various accounts. The central, highly connected node is labeled "J.K. Rowling," with lines radiating out to many other nodes color-coded by region (UK, US, etc.). A detail panel on the right displays stats for her account, including her role as "Author & commentator," an in-degree of 153, an out-degree of 84, and 14 million followers.A scatter plot graph on a dark background comparing accounts based on "followers (log)" on the x-axis and "in-degree" on the y-axis. The data points are color-coded by region. J.K. Rowling is highlighted as a major outlier in the top right corner, possessing the highest number of followers and the highest in-degree. Other labeled points lower on the graph include various politicians, individuals, and campaign organizations.

A Trans woman in Kansas changed her license to M because of the gender marker ban passed earlier this year. She gets pulled over and they didn't believe the license was hers. They later charge her for driving with an invalid license. She complied with the law and was still charged criminally.

I genuinely cannot fathom even considering calling the police on someone for stealing food, diapers, medicine, etc. and I would go as far to say that doing so is... worthy of Hell. You're going to Hell for that. If I were God? Straight to the pits with ya.

CORRECTION: I just deleted a post & updated a story that incorrectly said not one anti-LGBTQ+ measure in Missouri became law. One anti-trans measure did pass, tucked into an appropriations law, barring incarcerated trans people from receiving gender-affirming care. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...
advocate.com
Missouri Republicans introduced 58 anti-LGBTQ+ bills. One anti-trans measure became law
The legislative defeat comes as the ACLU tracks 529 anti-LGBTQ+ bills nationwide this year, many aimed at transgender Americans.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."
