there is no off ramp. There's no dramatic "THIS FAR AND NO FURTER" stand you can take. You've boarded a train with no brakes. And it's not just sports. Once trans people are legally a suspect class in ANY respect they are suspect in EVERY respect Which is not only the obvious goal of the zealots...

These anti-trans Dems are saying "biological males" should be banned from girls sports because they know exactly how bad it sounds if they say "transgender girls" should be banned from girls sports. They're using "biological males" framing as a sort of self-justification and self-soothing.

Lonnie Rouse worked at the Hanford nuclear site for nearly 20 years. It was so toxic, he said, that the floor once melted the rubber off his boots. Now he needs 24-hour care. The DOE has appealed his workers’ compensation claim more than 20 times.

Bardella is the head of France's fascist party, FYI. Successor to Marine Le Pen, and alarmingly there's a real possibility he'll replace Macron as president next year 💀 Just thought I'd add this context for international folks who didn't know...
In 2022, Jordan Bardella called Trappes "a miniature Islamic republic, the European capital of Jihad. All of France's future is at risk if we don't take back control" And now someone opened fire at random people of colour in Trappes. x.com/j_bardella/s...
