Just off the top of my head, here's how I think a "pro-trans everything except sports" politician could answer a question about trans rights (or trans people in sports, specifically):

"I obviously think it's important to find a way forward on this issue, to find a balance between fairness and ...

A mantra I share with movement leaders in Kenya all the time “don’t fight your allies with the same intensity that you fight your enemies”. People are gonna fight - it’s human nature. But fight your allies fair and leave the door open to reconciliation.

This is a great example of how Fox manipulates it's viewers. Because they trust only Fox, the Fox audience is completely vulnerable to manipulation by Fox. How could they know that what they're seeing with their own eyes isn't real? They couldn't. They're seeing it happen, it's right there!

I saw that people I loved following on Twitter are there and just wanted to follow them from a private account to read their content. Everything is so annoying. I'm going to read my book.

I just joined #Threads after resisting for a long time. After following some accounts I started getting the message below each time I tried to follow someone. Anyone know what that's about?

Some irresponsible calls are being made tonight. Nearly all the day-of, in-person votes in Texas HAVE YET TO BE COUNTED at this hour. Not to mention all the shenanigans and confusion in Dallas county

The BLATANT voter suppression in Dallas County is foul. Social media sites (Meidastouch- Courier) are posting Talarico as the primary winner. All votes have not been counted in Dallas. WTF?

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

AG Letitia James Just Stood Up For Trans Youth In New York. Now, Will Mayor Mamdani Act? Attorney General Letitia James has demanded NYU Langone restart care for transgender youth. Will NYC Mayor Mamdani act as well?

1. In a major move, AG Letitia James has given NYU Langone 10 days to resume trans youth care, or face legal consequences.

Now many are asking: Will Mayor Mamdani follow suit and take action to protect trans youth from the Trump administration and capitulation?

This is why SCOTUS is not legitimate. It is a rubber stamp for white supremacist, bigoted social policies. It was created for this purpose. Their "opinions" are just nonsense scribbled as a pretext.

Trump's policies - brutal abductions for anyone brown or Black even at their asylum hearings (aka "doing it the right way) are CAUSING people to stop "doing it the right way."

This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.

We can still use shaming and shunning as consequences for this bigotry/inhumane/unprofessional behavior by teachers. Radical bigot SCOTUS judges may "allow" it, but we don't have to tolerate it.

IMO, it's the word "trans." The bigoted right has worked very hard to make that word toxic.

It should be much more at the forefront of our minds, the extent to which the most politically activated and politically empowered segment of the authoritarian American cult calling itself "Christian" see the apocalypse as something to hasten, not prevent.
