When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine.
It's the same court and lawyers.

My reaction to Skrmetti? This country does not deserve the wonder and beauty that are Trans people. In the news is nothing but fear, hatred, killings and bombs, and the president says trans people are at the root of it all. It’s been said before and I’ll say it again: PROJECT MUCH?

Hey guys- White nationalists have helped a white woman in Minnesota raise $300k after she was filmed calling a five-year-old Black child the n-word.
The local NAACP chapter is fundraising for the boy and his family to get legal help. The least we could do is out-fundraise the nazis.

No, not ok. All people within the US are entitled to due process, during which one’s “papers” can be provided. @mattyglesias.bsky.social is making banal excuses for an unaccountable police state.
Different countries have different ways of saying “papers please” and that’s okay

I could write a similar letter about the US. Substitute Reagan for Thatcher, and the rest just follows our headlines
Since Thatcher, UK politics have lurched ever more to the Right. So much so that a moderate socialist like Jeremy Corbyn was portrayed by @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social as a Putin asset, at the very time when Russian oligarchs wives were paying £100k+ to play tennis with Boris Johnson.

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper...
But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.

Left-wing censorship was a fantasy, but the right-wing censorship is real, unconstitutional, and murderous. There was no majority anti-conservative social media bias or casual forced use of words like “birthing person.” But stripping protest rights and official language is actual deadly censorship

Since Payton McNabb is in the news again, time to remind people her injury was the result of an unforced error. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with her opponent being Trans. Payton was victim of bad coaching which led to her pulling off the net and playing defense outside her blocking assignment.
