Mom to a transgender teenager. I have NO time for anyone who doesn't think my child isn't deserving of equal rights and equal protections. #transrightsareequalrights

This so much this! Worth the full read. My kid is 1 out of 900+ athletes at her school alone. One out of I don't know how many thousands in her division. I appreciate Simone for trying to shut down a grifter who is cashing in on her experience (tying for 5th isn't great tbh).

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

I said this today - he'll look for the proxy. Beware the proxy. As Elon said 'bookmark this' there will be no rekindling of this shite show.

PSA: Do not let the Musk & Trump feud distract you from the fact that both want to rob us of basic healthcare, civil rights, & economic security—all while lining the pockets of billionaires. This childish feud is a distraction. Stay focused on ensuring we stop this horrific bill from becoming law.

Good for Tim Walz. Especially powerful because he's probably the only governor in the country who has spent a substantial part of his career actually coaching high school sports. He knows how disgusting it is to separate and punish kids because of an adult moral panic

no notes:

I support this boycott!

America, 2025: A Cautionary Tale for Generations: "As a result, America will have more anti-trans bills in 2025 than actual trans athletes".

"We call on the administration and Congress to do the right thing: restore and protect funding for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services in the Fiscal Year 2026 budget." Need to help with that? Go to: www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

Ron DeSantis stranded drivers at a bridge with no warning just to stop rainbow colors from appearing on it.

Minter states: Dhillon’s letter “shows what we already knew, which is that this administration isn’t concerned at all about protecting athletic opportunities for girls, this is just about bias against transgender people — pure and simple.”

I know everyone is shocked...right?

The same men that think being transgender gives you an advantage in sports are the same men that think they could beat Serena Williams in tennis, or fistfight a gorilla and win. That Venn diagram is a perfect circle.

I’m not saying we should flood this line with UFO reports but I’m not NOT saying that either.

It's really not. When Dems bother fighting back with arguments, they easily win this issue every time. When they stick their head in the sand and ignore it, they lose.

yup

Important info and inspiring talk:

Gavin Newsom could do with this MLK guidance...

#ProudBlue Bravo! 👏 More of this, please.

Californians, you can call Newsom at (916) 445-2841.

Nothing against electricians and plumbers (unless your MAGA) but this is kinda saying the quiet part out loud.

So little thought into how this will further marginalize trans athletes. My daughter runs relays-what about that? AND she is the ONLY trans althlete in her division! So she will be further ostracized - completely othered. JFC. Did he not take moment to think or is he just that cruel?

This is so poorly thought out. My daughter also runs a 1x4 and 4x4 how does one categorize that? I'm with Julia...

Birds of a feather, flock together #griftersgottagrift

So many signatories of the Harper’s Letter have been silent on pulling all published research with the word “transgender,” the national ban on orgs acknowledging transgender people, and the threatening of teachers who use trans people’s names. Almost like free speech is not what they cared about.

How timely as Pride activities ramp up this weekend. I hope Gavin Newsom stands up for this young athlete.

Leaving aside that he is talking about a high school sports competition, this administration cares so much about girls that they have changed rules such that organizations/programs can no longer use federal funds and describe domestic violence as a systemic issue slate.com/news-and-pol...
