BREAKING: Despite overwhelming public opposition, the Texas legislature has passed its cruel bathroom ban.
Bathroom bans actively fuel hate, deny trans people access to public spaces, and embolden bullies to police everyone's gender expression.
And we have proof.

You can't be tolerant of intolerance and end up with a tolerant society. It is not how any of this works.
If you display intolerance for trans people and attempt to impede their ability to move freely and equally in the world, then I have no tolerance for you. Fix your heart or die.

If you’re willing to cancel Pete Buttigieg because you disagree with one thing he said, your level of intolerance is off the charts. We need to be able to disagree with others without writing them off.

reupping this piece, since the seat that Emil Bove just filled could have been filled by Adeel Mangi last year
Adeel Mangi would have been the first Muslim judge on a federal appeals court but for Republicans' relentless Islamophobic attacks and Democrats' failure to defend him from them
I wrote about a remarkable letter Mangi published Monday in which he defended himself

Adeel Mangi’s new letter about the anti-Muslim attacks on his judicial nomination holds a mirror up to the Senate. The reflection is ugly.

Flight Manifests Reveal Dozens of Previously Unknown People on Three Deportation Flights to El Salvador
Hacked data obtained by 404 Media reveals dozens more people on deportation flights to El Salvador who are unaccounted for. “We have not heard from these people’s families, so I think perhaps even they don’t know," one lawyer said.

Pretty clear that this will be the vehicle SCOTUS will use to deny equal protection to transgender people. While the case will be about sports, that decision would essentially strip all rights on transgender status or sex for trans people.
It would make virtually any law permissible.
