Much as the Chronicle covered last year in re San Jose St. volleyball, there's nothing organic about this. The activities of activists like Riley Gaines, Harmeet Dhillon & Bill Bock should surprise no one, thought worth noting again how badly the NYT's coverage on this topic has misinformed readers.
This incredible profile of Gaines’ rise is a fantastic read, but more importantly it highlights how when Gaines started getting media attention days after her 200m final there was an entire ecosystem devoted to media training her and supporting her there to assist in her growth. It’s not organic.
I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.
So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

if she actually gave a shit about protecting women in sports she would’ve been loudly speaking about her own coaches but that’s not what it’s about.
An incident in a locker room has always been key to Riley Gaines’ anti-trans fame.
But @msjpauly.bsky.social spoke to swimmers who were present at the same 2022 meet. They shared a very different narrative.

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why?
Because it expired after its shipment was delayed.
1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed.
This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

He’s such a giant piece of garbage.
RFK Jr's story of having a brainworm was his way of avoiding paying his ex-wife support. She later committed suicide.
He argued that the brainworm had impacted his ability to work and earn.
Of course in 2024 he said he's fine with no after effects from the worm. Surprise

"Rebellions are built on hops."
TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks.
these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.
