🚨 Washington AG Nick Brown will not defend the "protect girls' sports" ballot initiative, I-638. He's palming it off on a private firm, Bryan Cave.
Brown doesn't have a conflict of interest. He's backing out because if he defended I-638, he'd have to present evidence that it protected girls from harm. Then he could no longer argue in other cases "there is no evidence" trans-inclusion harms girls.
Yes, Brown and other Dem AGs routinely argue there's no evidence that letting boys compete in girls' sports hurts the girls. I posted about this yesterday ⏬
Brown is shirking his legal obligation to defend I-638 so he can maintain plausible deniability about how "gender identity" policies hurt girls.
Brown all but admits that in his statement: "We will not and cannot abandon that work" of fighting for the transgender agenda.
I am publishing the statement I sent the organization Forbidden Colors on its recently issued report "The Hate Review".

I strongly condemn The Hate Review for using dehumanizing language that portrays women, including #lesbian and bisexual #women, as well as parents, people of faith, and their representative organizations people, parents, religious communities, and their organizations as a disease threatening Europe.
Such rhetoric fuels hostility, discrimination, and exclusion under the guise of democracy and the rule of law. I am particularly troubled that a report promoting this kind of language was given a platform at the European Parliament, the democratic heart of the European Union.
I have asked it to be published in their right of reply section.
@QueensCrapper the modern progressive mentality is that the rules, small and large, don't need to be enforced. standards are mean. so everyone becomes lazy, everyone becomes apathetic, everything is half-assed
torrential downpour in NYC but the @mta can't be bothered to run a few more busses or run existing ones on a posted schedule. Remember that today's progressives want you to enjoy your helplessness
Door een motie van SP en PRO gaat minister Sjoerdsma uitzoeken hoeveel geld er om zou gaan in een niet-gedefinieerde "antirechtenbeweging" die de inspanningen op het gebied van gendergelijkheid actief zou ondermijnen. Het zou gaan om een wereldwijde beweging waar in de afgelopen 5 jaar ongeveer 1 miljard euro in om zou zijn gegaan. Dit wordt uiteraard allemaal aangekaart door middel van lobby door organisaties die zelf geld van de Nederlandse overheid krijgen om in andere landen normen en beleid te veranderen.
Daar gaat heel wat geld in om: alleen al in 2025 gaf de Nederlandse overheid €668 miljoen uit aan ‘Sociale vooruitgang’. Dat gaat o.a. om gezondheidszorg en hiv-bestrijding, maar Nederland financiert ook expliciet de beïnvloeding van normen en beleid. COC beschrijft zijn door Buitenlandse Zaken gefinancierde programma bijvoorbeeld als “‘verandering van sociale normen, wetgeving en beleid’ in Afrika en Azië.” Rutgers kreeg voor hun programma Right Here Right Now €57,46 over 4 jaar en schrijft hierover: “We are part of a vibrant global youth movement transforming gender and power relations by reinforcing positive norms and values.”
Internationaal gaat het volgens https://t.co/CJHwTtdFZE in 2024 om ongeveer $15 miljard die overheden besteedden aan sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Zie ook hoe hoog Nederland scoort in het geheel.
Er wordt ongetwijfeld hiermee ook een hoop goeds gedaan aan hiv-bestrijding en het verbeteren van de gezondheid van mensen in die landen. Maar het gaat me om de beïnvloeding. Laten we nou echt dit soort ngo's bepalen wat ondermijning is en wat vooruitgang is?

Thread to explain what I did, in line with my competences, to solve the gender issue in law. I am accused of being snarky, envious, bitter, of doing nothing. This is what I did. And no, I did not raise money and paid myself a big fat charity salary. So shoot me.
@QueensCrapper Sounds like the progressive/socialist endorsed policy of squeezing the most profit from every inch of real estate is putting lives and communities at risk. What a surprise.
.@Walmart@kroger, what a slap in the face to the American shopper.
You should dismantle this immediately.
And shoppers, do not under any circumstances, allow these companies’ apps on your phone. Whatever discounts they have through them are being counteracted by raising prices when they detect your phone nearby. It’s a scam.
@jacobin JACOBIN the Joke. The nonprofit sector runs on cloaked, unaccountable, antidemocratic, billionaire funding. It is a jobs program for the upper middle. You have no clarity and consistency of thought. You are dressing up neoliberalism for the gullible Mamdami sheep.
@JMartinezNYC@THECITYNY Regulations on ebikes would hurt the Green Industrial Complex, so these humans are understood as collateral damage to the DSA DemocratMachine
🇪🇸 SPAIN
A major ruling against surrogacy!
Spain’s Supreme Court has upheld the refusal to register children born through surrogacy in Ukraine, reaffirming that the desire to have a child, however noble, can NEVER come at the expense of another human being’s fundamental rights.
The Court also denounced the contradiction of prohibiting surrogacy in Spain while allowing legal loopholes that enable the practice to continue abroad.

BREAKING: Tonight, the Seattle Public Schools Board plans to oppose voter-approved I-638, which is designed to keep boys out of girls' sports.
The resolution they plan to vote on "authorizes the Superintendent to undertake appropriate legal actions consistent with this resolution to protect the interests of the District and prevent harm to District students"
The resolution uses the same false talking points that were pushed by opponents during their losing campaign and makes no mention of the harm being done to the girls being forced to compete with boys
Aufgrund von EU-Gesetzgebung zieht @X Tweets "harmful or illegal" zurück, die die Tatsache benennen, dass Khelif nachweislich männlich mit einer Störung der Geschlechtsentwicklung (DSD) ist. Dass es harmful bis lebensgefährlich ist, wenn ein männlicher Boxer gegen Frauen antritt, scheint aufgrund von EU-Gesetzgebung in Ordnung zu sein @vonderleyen. Natürlich lege ich jedes Mal Einspruch ein.
