"Ultimately, the gadflies don’t seem to actually understand how being a transgender athlete works. The idea that cisgender men like Enes and Royce would voluntarily undergo chemical castration to try to join the WNBA and make a minuscule rookie salary is farcical on its face."

Bari Weiss is bad at her job. CBS News only has three main shows (Evening, Mornings & 60 Minutes) and she’s wrecked them all. Weiss has also been credibly accused of demanding politically motivated content changes to news stories. Imagine knowing all that & still agreeing to work for her. Wow.

I have no patience for the argument that anti-trans bigots care about protecting women and girls and women’s and girls’ sports. The conservative agenda is to destroy our autonomy and our equal opportunities. This is not a secret. It is the entire point.

What will DJT do with this information
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володи... & -3h
I will instruct our intelligence to share with our partners the information we have regarding Russia's new assistance to the Iranian regime.
Since the beginning of July, we have recorded active Russian satellite surveillance of the Gulf states and U.S. military facilities located there.
These images subsequently appear in Iran. At the same time, there is a clear correlation between Russia's satellite imagery of these sites and Iranian strikes - both before the attacks, in preparation for them, and afterward, to assess the damage inflicted.
On July 19 and 20 alone, four air bases fell within the area of interest of Russian satellites - two in Bahrain, one in Jordan, and one in Kuwait. The purpose is clear. None of us in the world should turn a blind eye to one very simple fact: evil always seeks ways to make things worse and spread further. Russia must be stopped. This war must be stopped. Pressure on the aggressor must work.

The broader context here is that some genocide scholars fear that the U.S. is already in the early-to-mid stages of a genocide against transgender people. That the rhetoric and legal efforts to deny them the healthcare they need and exclude them from society demonstrate eliminationist intent.
