Starting with "You can have your opinions on trans issues & who can/cannot participate in women's sports leagues based on gender standards" is positioning this as a debate. Trans people's ability to fully participate in public life is NOT an "opinion" to "disagree" on! We have lost the plot!

It reflects what others probably feel: have the conversation internally, not in a way that explicitly opens up players to abuse - that’s inexcusable.

The far-right weirdos who say we have no obligation to care for one another are in the minority.

Most people don’t want our government to suddenly stop feeding the hungry.

Most people want to live in a society where we care for, and feed, each other.

Yes, the government should feed us
What's the point of living in a society if not to care for one another?

Everywhere I go, people are wearing Jays gear. People I know who have never watched baseball (me included) are staying up past midnight to for an 18th inning. The coffee shop has baseball donuts.

I admire the Jays strategy thus far: trap your opponents in a pocket Hell Dimension made of pure baseball until they lose the will to play and give up.

Right-wing media outlets are selling their audiences a fantasy of easy regime change in Venezuela, complete with a "government-in-waiting" narrative that mirrors the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.
