As a trans lady legislator who defeated Virginia's bathroom bill author in 2017, I can say with certainty that the authors of these bills never spare a thought about the fact that it means they'll be requiring men -- specifically, trans men -- to use the women's room.
New decree from Speaker Johnson:
“All single-sex facilities in the Capitol and House Office Buildings — such as restrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms — are reserved for individuals of that biological sex,” Johnson said.
“Women deserve women’s only spaces.”

Good for her. Already most liberal women refuse to be with Trump voters, so I don't know how big a change this will be.
But as I wrote about, it's also for your mental health. Don't be with men who hate you.

i think that if you see an anonymous account on a bot-ridden social media network say something that specifically confirms your worst intuitions and fears about your political opponents or rivals, then you should consider the possibility that what you’re reading and reacting to isn’t authentic

We can and should ignore a lot of noise this season, but we need to deal with this nonsense: “Kamala is a descendant of a white slave owner.” Yes. Many of us are descended from the enslaved and the slave owning. If you really can't figure out why, we have books for that.

And if you need some context here: California is the 5th largest economy in the world. Its electrical grid seems to be on a very short path to being 100% renewable. If they can do it—adding grid stability also!—others can too.

This news is incredible. 100 days this year CA's used 100% renewables to power the entire grid, & through a heat wave, there's been no significant disruption (cough *Texas*). Energy analysts are seeing a "phase-change" of the grid with the addition of 5 nuclear plants worth of battery storage, wow
"No rolling blackouts or grid emergencies as California continues on path to a carbon free grid. Several strategies, including upgrades to vulnerable parts of the grid at play here, but key enabler is more clean energy, especially solar, and above all, battery storage..."

If you get covid, test every day after you test negative to catch the rebound. I was neg for days then got a whisper of a pos line. I started avoiding people, and in 18 hours I got sick and turned big positive.
Everyone I know who got this variant has rebounded from 3 to 11 days afterwards.

Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders.
Pass it on.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles.
