How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.
Iβve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.
So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

CHP is currently pushing people out of the entrance to Coast Guard Island, Alameda, California, where ICE agents and federal guard are being housed. Theyβve been asked to clear the street so βciviliansβ can leave the base. Unclear what they mean by βciviliansβ and wonβt offer more information.

Heavy California Highway Patrol presence that just showed up in Alameda, California, with what we can confirm is about 30 or more sitting outside the perimeter seemingly waiting to be called in. Theyβre calling for protesters to move out of the road to clear the way for people to exit the base.
