that's not a question. every

trans women have no inherent
athletic advantages over cis
women. science and research
have settled this already.*

what's unfair is how female
athletes, cis or trans, must
endure constant, unrestrained
sexual misconduct throughout
their formative years to simply
get a shot at competing
at an elite level.
just last month, a report*
showed that 88% of surveyed
u.k. elite athletes of the int'l
women's sports collective
reported sexual misconduct,
and 40% reported sexual abuse.
93% of the time, perpetrators
were cis men.

The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

"It’s not hard to see why ICE has expanded its reach beyond the Twin Cities. The qualities that have hindered ICE’s operation in Minneapolis and St. Paul β€” density and walkability; a large, almost exclusively left-of-center population β€” are absent here."

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women" The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.

Senator Omar Fateh Statement on ICE Withdrawal From Minnesota

SAINT PAUL, Minn. - Senator Omar Fateh (DFL-Minneapolis) released the following statement today after Tom Homan announced the removal of ICE and Border
Patrol agents from Minnesota:

"ICE agents finally getting out of Minnesota is only the beginning of restoring the rights and livelihoods of people harmed by this invasion. Far too many Minnesotans were unlawfully detained, assaulted, harassed or imprisoned by these masked, unaccountable agents.

Senator Omar Fateh Statement on ICE Withdrawal From Minnesota SAINT PAUL, Minn. - Senator Omar Fateh (DFL-Minneapolis) released the following statement today after Tom Homan announced the removal of ICE and Border Patrol agents from Minnesota: "ICE agents finally getting out of Minnesota is only the beginning of restoring the rights and livelihoods of people harmed by this invasion. Far too many Minnesotans were unlawfully detained, assaulted, harassed or imprisoned by these masked, unaccountable agents.

In my district, two of us, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were killed. Minnesota is proud of them, and of other community members for standing up to Donald Trump's police state by bearing witness to their crimes and protecting neighbors with time, donations and resources. The effect of ICE chaos in the streets, combined with missing and terrorized people on schools, hospitals and small businesses has been devastating.

Next, we need real accountability for the perpetrators and the leaders that sent them here, and help for the Minnesotans they harmed. That means honest investigations into violent crimes committed by ICE agents, passing legislation to empower Minnesotans to sue the agents and agency that wronged them, and reinvesting in communities to stabilize small businesses, household budgets and neighborhoods traumatized by this lawless invasion."

Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom We have seen this song and dance before.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (Florida, Dem) has a stack of Harry Potter books displayed and he states that Trump's name appears in the Epstein Files more than Harry Potter's name appears in the entire Harry Potter book series...

Also, more than Jesus in the bible.

Bondi did not like this...

As a severely disabled person, I’m haunted by what the regime did to Wael Tarabishi.

They ripped his father away from him.

His father was his full time caregiver.

They killed Wael. You can’t remove a person’s full time caregiver and expect them to survive.

There’s no β€œback up”.

Guevara Peruano v. Wesling, 1:26-cv-10300 - CourtListener.com Docket for Guevara Peruano v. Wesling, 1:26-cv-10300 β€” Brought to you by Free Law Project, a non-profit dedicated to creating high quality open legal information.

A judge had to issue a court order to ensure ICE provided seizure medication to a detainee, and that detainee still didn’t get their medication.

ICE enforcement is a disability justice issue.

They’re a eugenicist movement.

They want the β€œsick and weak” to die:

Opinion | The Rot Goes Deeper Than ICE

β€œAfter Congress failed to pass immigration reform, it plowed resources into enforcement β€” in Obama years, we saw this as down payment on legislation to create a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. We were wrong.”

Children With Disabilities Particularly Vulnerable to Minneapolis ICE Crackdown Already-anxious parents say their kids are missing not just school but also therapy appointments to avoid encountering potentially hostile federal agents.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

May 7, 1955: Murder of Rev. George W. Lee Rev. George W. Lee, one of the first African AmericansΒ registered to vote in Humphreys County since Reconstruction and head of the Belzoni, Mississippi NAACP, was murdered.

Remember: a white supremacist tactic is to blame victim.

For example: brave & effective Mississippi voting rights activist, Rev. George W. Lee, was murdered by shotgun in 1955.

Sheriff said it was a traffic accident & the shotgun pellets were dental fillings.

Conflicting info about whether Pretti was murdered by ICE or CBP makes it clear that ICE is not single "rogue agency"

ICE, CBP and ALL policing & borders must be abolished. This isn't just one agency; its an entire infrastructure of carceral control, illegalization & criminalization, and fascism.
