A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

helenwebberley.comAre transgender sports bans really about protecting women? | Dr Helen WebberleyThe data says no. Those most hostile to women are most in favour of banning trans athletes.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Party leadership needs to be replaced unless they show some courage.

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.

Via @stephenjcaruso.bsky.social, who really should post here more than there, I'm counting $8.52M from Jeffrey Yass to try to preserve a GOP state senate majority in PA (candidate giving, SRCC, and State GOP) and another $1.1M to stanch the bleeding in the state house, where Dems lead 103-100.

This is the sound of the American fascist movement huffing their own farts. They grow these hothouse “experts” to twist the Constitution into a pretzel then make believe their interpretation is the only valid one that somehow every real expert missed.

As a result, Bannon brings up Trump running for a 3rd term. Bannon says he leads the push for Trump running again. When Koppel points out that it’s unconstitutional, Bannon says that he’s talked to constitutional lawyers who say you “can drive a truck through that Amendment”. 24/

In Iowa, the Republican gubernatorial candidate actually lives in Kansas and appears to be fully financially dependent on his wife's family (she's from the Koch Brothers family), while his lieutenant governor candidate is fully dependent on his parents, who are suing hm for $275,000 in unpaid rent.

I haven’t slept a full night in three weeks ahead of the polls opening in Brazil today. I might be shouting into a void here, but if you can spare a few seconds to send good energy towards our elections today and for the largest country in South America to beat fascism, please do so. 🇧🇷

The opportunity to argue about observable reality with someone actively demonstrating their unwillingness to observe it is not as attractive a proposition or as necessary an activity as many people seem to believe.

"You won't debate me because you can't beat my IDEAS"—no, loser, I won't debate you because your ideas have been considered and rejected and no longer warrant debate, and the very act of engaging in debate frames you as better than you are and your failed ideas as worthy of anything but contempt.

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"
