Any time you see an article frame something as "took action against transgender sports," do more digging.
75% of the time, whatever they are talking about also bans trans people from bathrooms/medical care/targets trans adults.
Sports is just a way to frame it as morally acceptable.

Why is everyone focusing on the trans sports stuff in the Gavin Newsom Charlie Kirk interview and not the part where he's mad about the Dems supporting trans prisoners getting healthcare or appearing to back Kirk on a full ban on trans youth healthcare????
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Many Democratic politicians have forgotten that leaders can shape public opinion, rather than just always follow it.
Republicans learned this lesson over a decade ago.
Elected officials should not be a moving polling average. They should be humans with values and willing to stand up for them.

"Generation Rescue" the beginning of the antivax movement started in 2005 by bigot, dumbfuck Jenny McCarthy. Until that point, Measles had been literally eradicated from existence in the US since 1963. 40 years of safety erased by blatant stupidity and bigotry against autistic people. Thanks Jenny.

Elon Musk has no authority to send emails to federal workers asking them to justify their jobs (days after he wields a chainsaw on a stage...hello?)
He has no authority to fire or threaten anyone.

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired.
This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all.
