Of course the Don’t Tread on Me dorks were going to capitulate to unconstitutional authoritarianism. Have you seen the losers? The alternative was them putting down their IPAs, getting off their asses, and doing something about it. Yeah, right.

The United States is in a historic decline because one party was willing to overlook a lifetime of dishonest, unethical behavior in favor of tribal hopes of greatness. Now its constituency is suffering in the wake of policies that are ruining their lives and livelihood.

In their breathless positioning of scientific neutrality, never once does it dawn on them that they were hand picked to draw a conclusion already reached. It reads with all the informed science of your racist uncle at a Thanksgiving debate.

ANDOR’s brilliance, as is true in all art, comes down to its taste and execution. That it can look at all of the bombast and grandeur of Star Wars, and instead choose to develop its characters at a dinner with the in-law is an extraordinary showcase of Tony Gilroy’s confidence and skill.

In an effort to “protect” cis women from a threat that does not exist, this court both recognizes the need for shielding trans women from discrimination while throwing them directly into harm’s way by denying access to safe spaces for women. Shame on the UK.

There was a massive rally for trans rights in Montgomery today. So many people are deeply afraid as the government demonizes them. And for what? Nothing is gained. Nobody’s life is bettered by bullying a trans person.

Yes it’s horrible. But I think the real takeaway here is that one side recognizes decades of scientific data that supports the importance and need for gender affirming inclusion and the other side thinks sex is affixed at conception. Let that sink in.

When the anti-trans coalition came to AL, I was asked to meet with proponent reps about their support. 100% offered these bills, not as solutions to a problem, but because out-of-state interest groups asked. For one rep, I was the first trans person they’d ever met. The anti-trans movement is a lie.
“The motivation is not, as the state has suggested, to protect the health of children, which states have a right to regulate, but instead is based on not only particular animus towards transgender individuals, but also a broader social vision that upholds gender hierarchy"
