How do people who grew up during the Civil Rights era not understand that this is also a civil rights issue? If Schumer were senator in 1968, I feel like he'd complain that desegregation was a GOP attempt to distract from "kitchen table issues"

This isn't about protecting children. It's about policing a gender system that puts everyone in a pink box or a blue one, that gives people higher social value if they're pinker or bluer than their box-mates, and that puts the whole pink box below the blue.

Look at how much work the Court's abortion cases do here. The majority cites Dobbs to say that regulating a medical condition/procedure isn't sex discrimination, and another abortion case, Gonzales v. Carhart, to suggest that legislatures deserve discretion when there is scientific uncertainty.

This combined with the Supreme Court ruling means the world just got a lot scarier for trans kids and their loved ones. And there are going to be cis adults treating this as a win.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Delighted to see the following sentence in this morning's @chalkbeat.org round up: "Maud Maron, a former PLACE president and co-founder who played a key role in the transgender sports resolution, did not get reelected."

"We find that abortion restrictions ... significantly increased the rate of intimate partner violence for reproductive-aged women [by] about seven to 10 percent. These estimates imply at least 9,000 additional incidents of IPV among women in the “trigger ban” states" www.nber.org/papers/w3391...

There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.
