I see Arkansas has decided to take a page from racist banning of Black hairstyles and try to apply it to trans kids, very trendy (though the AG has already weighed in to say it’s such a clear violation of free speech that they can’t defend it in court). arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2…

There was a successful Indigenous campaign to restore the original name of that mountain, and Trump wants to make sure that the cultural genocide of colonization stays intact. Any attempt for anyone who isn’t a colonizer to assert any authority over anything is anathema to him.
Can someone far smarter than me explain to me why the name of a mountain in Alaska is even remotely on the top 10,000 issues facing this country? Who is this for?

The point of a trans athlete ban isn’t to save women’s sports, which most right wing commentators openly despise. The point of a trans athlete ban is to hand the Federalist society and the ADF a legal precedent for banning trans women from everything else, too.

Two summers ago I was involved in a fatal accident and several people stopped to wait for the cops, just to make sure they knew there was nothing else I could have done given the way the accident crossed a divided highway into me. It was both very helpful and very comforting.
Replying to @a_h_reaume
And this is why you stop when there is an accident. If you are a witness, and you had a good view of what occurred, that perspective might matter a lot to the people involved. The driver might have runoff at which point the people who were hit need a witness

There’s a lot of misinformation out there about what Trudeau is responsible for. Many people are confused about municipal, provincial and federal responsibility. Trudeau is being blamed for it all. None of it will change with Poilievre if its not under Federal responsibility.👇

If it weren't for a supermarket security guard persuading a woman to make a complaint against Pelicot for up-skirting, his horrific crimes would not have come to light. While we celebrate the courage of Gisele Pelicot, let's also rethink our approach to 'minor' sex crimes.

Nothing sickens me more than gay men aligning with anti-trans obsessives and targeting trans people in the same way and with the same rhetoric that homophobes target gay men.
