RegardingFrost

The Duality of Me - regarding frost Therapy made me face myself, quirks and all. I’ve internalized them and accept and am comfortable with the idiosyncrasies that make me, me.

Mixed feelings about posting this... but here I go... regardingfrost.com/the-duality-...

On the Murder of Charlie Kirk... - regarding frost Let me start by saying this; I’m a pacifist. I don’t support war. I don’t support the death penalty. I don’t condone murder. There is no justice in any of it. There is no righteousness. It is not a so...

I've had a few conversations about the death of Charlie Kirk and felt the need to put my thoughts to paper (so to speak): regardingfrost.com/on-the-murde...

Renewed Call for Replacing O‘ahu’s Jail Glosses Over Reality Neither the Legislature nor the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has shown any real commitment to decarceration.

How can we trust DCR when they don't accurately report statistics and repeatedly make claims in the absence of any dispassionate references?

Dir. Johnson and his allies say we need a new jail. But without a study, how can we know for sure? Should the public really be expected to simply trust them?

Labor Board Classifies ‘Love Is Blind’ Contestants as Employees With its complaint against the Netflix hit, the National Labor Relations Board opened the door to unionization.

I’ve never heard of this show and despise reality shows, but RIGHT ON for the NLRB!! 🥳

targets, the District Court reasonably concluded that the balance of the equities tips toward preliminary relief pending full consideration of the merits. Its analysis of the last two preliminary injunction factors was not arbitrary or unreasonable. The court did not manifestly abuse its discretion, and its injunction was not overbroad. 156 Finally, both parties have submitted notices of supplemental authority, citing recent cases considering challenges to various laws regarding gender-affirming care. Without exception, the additional authority pertains to claims grounded in the equal protection clause or otherwise based on alleged unlawful discrimination. Some of the authorities also reference new developments in research and evidence that was not part of the record presented to the District Court in the preliminary injunction proceedings. Because, on the record here, the District Court's conclusions on Montana's express privacy protections are sufficient to uphold its preliminary injunction, we affirm on that basis. The parties will have the opportunity during the merits proceeding for full development of the record, where their experts may offer insight on any new research, and for briefing on the current case law relative to their claims. CONCLUSION 157 The District Court made no error of law and did not manifestly abuse its discretion. We affirm its grant of a preliminary injunction on the basis of Plaintiffs' right to privacy claim. The case will proceed to trial, at which point the District Court will finally resolve the disputed facts and issue a final determination on the constitutional issues presented. /S/ BETH BAKER 32 We Concur: /S/ MIKE McGRATH /S/ LAURIE MCKINNON /S/ INGRID GUSTAFSON /S/ DIRK M.

Incredible news! Montana’s Supreme Court just affirmed that the state’s gender affirming care ban is likely unconstitutional.

This makes the state the first state Supreme Court to rule that trans medical care is protected.

This applies REGARDLESS of what the US Supreme Court does.

Isn’t it also from a song on Division Bell? Or am I confused? 🤨

Hawaii News Now responds to Maui Police Department accusations Hawaii News Now is standing by the stories reported by Allyson Blair.

MPD is collectively a crybaby over seemingly accurate reporting. I’m generally not a huge fan of HNN, but glad to see them pushing back hard on MPD’s whining. www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2024/11/22/h...

Equal parts lovely and annoying. 100% COLD.
