I only started following the Dodgers last year. That spring, after my kids' school burned down in the Eaton Fire, they were treated with free tickets to a game and the 4th graders went for Jackie Robinson Day, where my kiddo got to take their pic w/Mookie Betts & the World Series trophy.

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."
Which is true for trans kids too.

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

Reminds me of how immigration attorneys are now writing “confidential address” in humanitarian visa applications, not to protect the client from their abuser but from the federal govt
To be clear:
LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.
The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.
This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.
