California SB 98, passed in 2021, specifically allows journalists to remain in areas closed by law enforcement during public events. The law officers from assaulting, interfering with, or obstructing journalists. Nor can journalists be cited for failure to disperse.

Huge win for the trans community. Passport ban blocked by federal judge that rules decision was based on animus and discrimination against transgender people. From Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com

Judge Blocks Passport Ban For Plaintiffs, Citing Government Animus And Equal Protection
The federal judge ruled that transgender people's passport changes do not, as the Trump executive order stated, deprive the "dignity, safety, and well-being of women."

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Marth Stewart went to prison for insider trading on *one* stock.

Marjorie Taylor Greene bought *17* stocks just before Donald Trump declared his "pause" in tariffs that caused those stocks to rise in value.

How many others were tipped off? How many stocks did Donald buy? Ivanka? Mike Johnson?

so, stephanie turner—the fencer who took a knee & went on a media tour about it—cost a trans girl the chance to participate in society & did it for $5,000 cash, in addition to, i assume, paid speaking gigs with folks like riley gaines.

this is grifting. turner is a grifter. also a garbage person.
