Hey @eastnashtivists.bsky.social it’s been zero days since Gavin Newsom was joining a MAGA podcast to peddle transphobic conspiracies. Maybe spend a little more time reading @erininthemorning.com and a little less time taking selfies with this dipshit and passing it off as “voter education”
1. Yesterday, Newsom peddled anti-trans politics and far-right conspiracy theories about transgender people in a podcast, the latest example of many anti-trans actions taken by the governor.

We engage and explain.

The latest from S. Baum.

Fresh transphobia for ya
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.

As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.

There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

It’s telling how the Christian right’s role in getting Skrmetti to SCOTUS is being erased—and by those seemingly desperate to blame trans people for asking for “too much.” So I spoke with legal historian @kredburn.bsky.social and ACLU attorney @chasestrangio.bsky.social, who argued the case:
What Everyone Is Getting Wrong About SCOTUS’s Transgender Ruling
The Skrmetti decision to uphold a state ban on gender-affirming care for minors was not as sweeping as it seems—nor is the trans rights movement to blame for it.

That @freddieoconnell.bsky.social thinks saying or doing anything about immigration enforcement in Nashville is akin to “a series of rhetorical check boxes” is telling. It isn’t even saving him from accusations of ‘embracing sanctuary lawlessness’ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

An accessible explainer on the Supreme Court ruling allowing deportations to countries other than the person’s own, without due process
Today’s unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for removals of migrants to third countries without any additional process is a disaster—not just on the merits, but because of the government misbehavior that it not only refuses to punish, but effectively rewards.

Me, via “One First”:
161. The Court's Disastrous Ruling in the Third-Country Removal Case
The majority did not just greenlight an especially odious immigration policy without any explanation; it did so in a case in which the government defied the district court—twice—with no consequence.

During these critical moments following the US bombing of Iran, key lawmakers and pundits are circulating a lie on par with Iraq WMD falsehoods: that Iran has a nuclear weapons program. US intel consensus is they do not. Does it matter? By me and @ahjohnson.bsky.social
Lawmakers and Pundits Speed Run Iraq WMDs-Level Lies About Iran
The US intelligence consensus is that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program. Why does our media and political class keep implying—and explicitly saying—otherwise?

Once again, I recommend Justice Sotomayor’s powerful dissent, which she read from the bench. (The SCOTUS equivalent of screaming.) It’s all straightforward and accessible.

Read the dissents first because there's no way that trans liberation won't happen at some point. Just not today, sadly.

And when it does happen, all these transphobic bellends will pretend they were always for trans rights.

I'm disgusted.
