Donald says our economy is the best in the world and the only problem is public relations. No. The problem is the skyrocketing cost of living: gas, groceries, utilities, housing and healthcare are getting more and more expensive.

Smoking became “a right of passage for many young people,” and by the 1950s nearly half of U.S. adults smoked, says K. Michael Cummings. Cigarettes were clearly addictive, and the idea that smoking could kill was long suspected.

The Heritage Foundation laid out how they were going to rescind Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, by first targeting trans people's participation in sport. Capitulating on the human rights of transgender people is catastrophically falling at the first hurdle.

A little context to add here: The fight for the soul of Title IX is longer than this post suggests. It started with attacks on sexual assault survivors in 2015. And that underscores OP’s central point. Schools capitulated then and look where we are now.

Part of a heavily redacted 302 report.
