Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Democratic congresswoman Kathy Castor of FL-14 becomes the latest anti-transgender Democrat. When asked if she supports "biological males in girls sports," she cheerfully and forcefully says "THE ANSWER IS NO!" with a huge smile on her face, laughing. The number keeps growing.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

In the latest development among anti-trans wings of the Democratic Party, the Ohio Democratic Party is now deleting criticism from caucus members of Kaptur's anti-trans ad calling transgender people an "ideology." It appears any dissent over the ad is practically banned on caucus social media.

Je suis choqué qu’un entraîneur du sport universitaire dansait autour de l’histoire d’esclavage. Peut-être que le thème se sent trop réel pour lui et il ne pourrait pas attirer l’attention sur comment les sports universitaires exploitent encore les corps et le travail des personnes aujourd’hui ?

Tips to share the mental load: - Communicate clearly w/ your partner - Create a shared calendar of family events - List out tasks and divide up ownership. Don't worry about exact 50/50. Aim for a division that feels equitable to both of you - Have regular check-ins www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sasse’s argument comes from the same patriarchal miasma that enables sexual assault in the US. This ideology needs people to buy into its fundamental precept that being male is a pass to act violently toward other people with zero negative consequences and American football helps to sell that idea.

Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social

Yet, Ben Sasse and the @wsj.com seem to think that it is appropriate to double down on sacrificing American boys to the death sentence that is this sport. www.wsj.com/opinion/free...
