There’s a guy who claims to be a former soccer player on Love is Blind, yet he called David Beckham “not even good.” Convinced this is a Talented Mr. Ripley situation. No way someone has played the sport competitively and believes something like that. Like an astronomer thinking the world is flat.

She’s so much better than him!

A scanned image of the first page of a legal document on letterhead from Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, dated February 27, 2026. It is labeled "Opinion No. KP-0518" and addressed to Mr. Darrel D. Spinks, Executive Director of the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. A portion of the first paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "mental health care providers" licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council."

A scanned image of the second page of the Attorney General Opinion document. A section in the first full paragraph is highlighted in yellow, which reads: "[f]or the purpose of transitioning a child’s biological sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the child or affirming the child’s perception of the child’s sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child’s biological sex."

A scanned image of the third page of the Attorney General Opinion document. The text discusses various statutory and dictionary definitions of the terms "health care provider" and "health care". There are no highlighted sections on this page.

A scanned image of the seventh and final page of the Attorney General Opinion document, showing the "SUMMARY" section and the signature block for Ken Paxton. The entire summary paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "The definition of a “health care provider” in subsection 161.701(2) of the Health and Safety Code unambiguously encompasses the professions regulated by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. Any licensee that facilitates the provision of unlawful procedures or treatments that aim to transition a child’s sex are thus forbidden from receiving public money in support of those efforts and, separately, risk revocation of their licenses to practice."

Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.

"Anyone who has doubted Trump’s intention to replace American democracy with a dictatorship should now be fully disabused."

This will be unconstitutional, but he probably starts with 3 votes (Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh).

Tennessee officials say little on THP conduct while working with ICE - Nashville Banner Questions continues about Tennessee Highway Patrol and ICE conduct during immigration arrests in Nashville. Gov. Bill Lee claims ignorance of the issue.

TN homeland security commissioner re: @nashvillebanner.bsky.social and co. ICE/THP investigation:

“I don’t think it’s appropriate what happened. ... We don’t have control over other agencies, but we limited the amount of participation that we did after that. That’s the only operation we’ve done."

According to Bari Weiss at least, the story cannot be reported on then. Right?

Another book rec for Women’s History Month: The Woman Behind the New Deal by Kirstin Downey.

10/10 would recommend this book, it was one of my favorites that I read last year!

Charlie Kirk dropped out of an Illinois community college after one semester. He later advised Gen Z that today's higher ed probably isn't worth it. A perfect icon for this regime's attitude toward becoming educated
