This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

If you are so extraordinarily stupid that you fall for a standard Republican trans panic ruse, I cannot trust you to represent me in office. This is like media literacy 101. Your colleagues are going to run circles around you. Dupe you into anything. I'd be safer running and representing myself.

The point is that it's not going to stop with sports. They are using this seemingly ✌🏾reasonable✌🏾 argument about sports to scaffold other forms of discrimination against trans people writ large and cis women too! Conservatives want to push all women out of sports ultimately. What's more:

It's always interesting when people want to tell you to vote for the "more electable" candidate, which always just so happens to align with their political leanings. Vote for who you want to see in the seat - that's how they get elected and become electable.

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7

And at the watch party you will ask the organizer if he's from Cape Verde. He will say yes, from Praia. And you'll say oh! I lived there for two years. I was a teacher. And he will ask, "What's your name?" You will tell him and he will say,
"You were my teacher."

Ivan, the grown man with a touch of grey in his beard, will tell you later he has struggled to describe what it meant to him to meet again - that he shared our photo with classmates.
And when he returns from watching the Cabo Verde game, we will try to find the words together.

www.politico.com/live-updates... republicans poisoned the smithsonian women's history museum bill because they're ideologically opposed to women, history, and museums in that order

While 127 Democrats cosponsored an earlier version of the bill, most of them bailed after Republicans altered it ahead of the floor vote.

New language added in the House Administration Committee last month dedicated the museum to “preserving, researching, and presenting the history, achievements, and lived experiences of biological women in the United States” and prohibited the institution from seeking to “identify, present, describe, or otherwise depict any biological male as a female.”

Other new provisions called for “an equal representation of the diversity of the political viewpoints and authentic experiences held by women in the United States” and gave President Donald Trump the unilateral power to relocate the museum from sites already identified on the National Mall.

The Democratic Women’s Caucus announced earlier this week it would oppose the altered bill after working on it with Republicans for years.

There’s nothing “science-based” about this FDA review. There are 100+ high-quality studies demonstrating the safety of mifepristone. There’s no conflicting evidence about health or safety — it’s a clown report from anti-abortion orgs that’s not peer-reviewed & has about 48 internal validity errors.

5/14 tweet from the official FDA account, which states, “FDA is committed to protecting the health and safety of women. The Supreme Court's order, issued today, maintains the status quo with respect to the REMS governing mifepristone. The FDA will press forward to complete its science-based safety review of the mifepristone REMS and, in an effort to provide greater transparency, will provide updates as key milestones are reached.”
