I really want people to understand that this is just as awful and upsetting and invasive for a trans girl as it would be for a cis girl under the same scrutiny. Because when it happens to cis girls/women people get upset, but when itā€™s an actual trans girl somehow itā€™s ā€œcomplicated.ā€ Itā€™s not.

Incredible but not surprisingā€¦. Despite deleting the tweet and Speaker Johnson saying here that Rep. Clay Higgins prayed on it, etc. Hereā€™s what Higgins told CNN AFTER deleting the tweet:

Today JD Vance said he wanted to kill the National Labor Relations Act and the headline Semafor ran was that he's sad about union decline www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

Vance, asked about right to work laws in individual states by Real Clear Politics, added that a Trump-Vance administration believes that it is up to each state to determine policy.

I was mad because I was a mad young lad. I still don't enjoy or recommend his filmography to anyone I respect. "Uwe Boll being attached to direct your favorite video game movie" is still the kind of looming threat IMO as "your favorite video game's publisher announces it will heavily feature AI".

People are saying this place is a great big Ecco chamber and I truly like weā€™re all finding a higher porpoise here.

Yup. Remember, this isn't Twitter. Hashtags work, blocked means BLOCKED, there is no algorithm tied to the "Like" button, and reported accounts actually have a chance of being nuked. Do your housekeeping, folks!

Senator Kennedyā€™s conduct deserves censure, not just from the hearing audience and social media but from the Senate. www.huffpost.com/entry/john-k...

"You support Hamas, do you not?"
Kennedy abruptly asked Berry, referring to the terrorist group behind the Oct. 7 attacks on southern Israel. His question drew audible gasps in the audience.
"Senator, oddly enough, I'm going to say thank you for that question, because it demonstrates the purpose of our hearing today," Berry responded. "Hamas is a foreign terrorist organization that I do not support. But you asking the executive director of the Arab American Institute that question very much puts the focus on the issue of hate in our country."
Several people in the audience clapped after she spoke.
But Kennedy continued in the same vein, asking if she supports Hezbollah, an Islamist political party and paramilitary group that's also a designated terrorist organization.
"Again, I find this line of questioning extraordinarily disappointing, senator," Berry began to respond as Kennedy talked over her, demanding she give a yes or no response.
"The answer is I don't support violence whether it's Hezbollah, Hamas or any other entity that invokes it," she finally got out. "So no, sir."
"You can't bring yourself to say no, can you?" Kennedy replied, even after she said no.

itā€™s nice to see liberal court pundits acknowledge their errors, but it would be better to see them stop taking obvious bait over and over again

We Helped John Roberts Construct His Image as a Centrist. We Were So Wrong.

Roberts was the aggressive conservative maximalist. And he created majority opinions in his own image.
