If an 11,000-word story has a major, factual error in the fifth graf, it probably should be seen for the biased, hit-piece it is.

so the NYT opinion desk has determined that now is the time to start publishing stories from people who are personally affected by Skrmetti. You know, after their "reporting" was cited in Clarence Thomas' concurrence. Fucking rich.

Sure glad we wasted 4 years doing fuck all to fix the Supreme Court

One thing I am seeing misreported in the media today about the Skrmetti ruling is a claim that the supreme court ruled this is "about age, not transgender status." SCOTUS also ruled this is about "diagnosis, not transgender status" Bans targeting adults are likely legal under this ruling.

today I am thinking a lot about the 2016 bathroom ban and the subsequent uproar and how completely insane it feels to be here, 9 years later. and I think what you have to take away from that is so much responsibility lies with right-wing media, sure - but also with The Atlantic, with the NYTimes,

sure am glad that the approach to SCOTUS from the party nominally opposed to all this is almost certain to remain "we'd appreciate it if you didn't" and "come on, man"

fwiw, Schumer's deleted post is not only insensitive and cruel, it's also wrong. the attack on trans rights is not a "distraction." harming trans people is a core goal of fascists. it's like saying that the Holocaust was a distraction from Hitler's effort to conquer europe or something.

transition care for trans people is life saving healthcare. the only regret with my transition is that i didn’t start when i was younger. fuck everyone who is cheering on the destruction legal trans healthcare, and fuck those indifferent to it

Hey guess what's cited by Clarence Thomas in his concurrence here? Oh yeah—the Cass Review (see below, Thomas apparently thinks it's good) and the New York Times (to go after WPATH, and incl the producer of that awful podcast)! I'm so angry and upset right now, this is so bad!!

Absolutely incredible that we are still getting mainstream denunciations of "trans activists" when the far-right fringe has far more odious views and sits much closer to power.

Is the floor so low we’re only half-expecting an apology from a Senator who mocked the assasination of politicians he didn’t like? Or is there just no floor at all anymore? Mike Lee should resign. Today.

I must have missed the part of the Letter from a Birmingham Jail where Martin Luther King Jr. explains that since white moderates aren't ready yet for integration and equality, the fight for civil rights is lost and we need to wait for them to catch up so as to spare their feelings.

All the Republican examples of "violent" rhetoric from Democrats is someone like Tim Walz saying "these people are assholes, you should be rude to them" and all the Republican equivalents are a guy with a top-secret security clearance tweeting "I will personally kill Ilhan Omar with a gun"

The fundamental problem with Sarah McBride's logic in the New York Times today is that the fight over transgender rights is not one where "if only we were a little less confrontational" is the driving factor. Look at Republicans and how they treat people that even acknowledge a transgender woman.

really, really frustrated that the obviously political reasoning for the SALT deduction cap decreases is getting so little coverage like we have Republicans openly saying that they're less inclined to negotiate on it because the states don't have Republican representatives?
