By now, everyone knows Susan Collins won Maine +9 in 2020 when it went +9 for Biden (so 18 pt net net overperformance), but don't sleep on 2008, when she went +23 against a SITTING CONGRESSMAN while Obama won Maine +17, for a whopping 40pt net net overperformance. Just wow.
The trans atheletes case was about whether states MAY ban trans participation in women’s sports under 14a—but the opinions are almost all about the next case: whether states MUST ban trans participation in women’s sorts under Title IX.
I’m sorry, “sterilize all foreigners” is the funniest possible thing a politician could run on, so I kinda hope it becomes a plank in the GOP platform.
You will ascend when you realize the statement “trans women are trans women” doesn’t contradict the statement “trans women are women.”
We can in fact have our cake and eat it too by recognizing both the fundamental immutable differences and phenomenological overlaps between cis women and trans women and not freak the fuck out just because conclusively providing necessary and sufficient conditions to define a sociologically complex concept such as womanhood is always going to escape exact precisification.
The only reason GCs refuse to acknowledge any phenomenological overlap at all is they have a prejudice against mtf transsexuals and just irrationally hate troons, likely stemming from repressed and internalized shit they haven’t dealt with in their own life and unhappily project upon sexual minorities under the virtual signaling guise of fighting degeneracy or whatever.
At any rate, my unsolicited advice to the trans movement is to look for some cases (like parents rights) where this Court might be more sympathetic to your cause. Sports was always going to be a tough spot.
If what I’m hearing is true and some pathetic cowards doxxed Freddy’s identity on a Reddit thread, forcing him to delete his X account—you people are absolutely disgusting, vile pieces of shit who should be ashamed of yourselves. It’s beyond sickening.
Are you really that jealous that Americans are showing him a good time while he’s visiting our country? Get a damn life, you miserable losers.
Supreme Court upholds a century old interpretation of the 14th amendment. “They’ve destroyed America! There’s no saving us now! My panties shall never be unbunched again!”

The United States was founded by a remarkable mix of young revolutionaries and experienced statesmen.
My view is that both parties to this conflict have adopted unhelpful uncompromising stances that have made things worse.
Today, though, throughout western progressive politics you’re supposed to have an uncritical view of the Palestinian national movement.
One way or another, though, the collapse of public support for Israel that we were worried about happened.
So now my same views that were way to the left of AIPAC’s positions 15-20 years ago are now seen by half the internet as right-wing extremism.
