Bans Against Trans Athletes Will Not “Save Women’s Sports” Pushing trans athletes like Becky Pepper Jackson off the field enables discrimination and undercuts advancements in women’s sports.

Bans targeting transgender women harm all women.

We won't back down from promoting equality and inclusion in athletics.

I'm the same way only it's my computer, lol

That video has given me a new fear. Imma start carrying a roll of toilet paper with me just in case I have to go to someone's house that believe in a...family cloth replacement. Utah is EXACTLY the place where you'd find that.

If this is ragebait it's working on me

It took A LOT to make this. Like A LOT. I struggled hard with making this because frankly it’s embarrassing. When you go from feeling safe, to losing your job and just two payments behind with no real support, it’s a struggle to get back to baseline.

We started with restrain ICE. Then reform ICE, then landed squarely on abolish ICE.

But I’ve moved on to prosecute ICE y’all. Every last one even if it takes 20 years of trials.

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

If someone claims to be your friend and then turns around and believes a bunch of lies about you without even trying to speak to you they weren't really your friend.

When August Met Christine (Part 4/4) - Gator Days Characters August - Alligator - A single guy working in IT at a tech start up. Has a lot of trouble talking to people. Christine - Alligator - Just moved into town and is trying to meet people. Transcript Panel 1 August and Christine have just met at a party and are getting to know each other. August is starting to feel unsure about how things are but Christine is having a wonderful time. There's still more people arriving at the party. Christine looks out to the crowd beyond the massive pile of empty cups next to her. August's friend and roommate, Seth, is being the wonderful social butterfly he is. Christine: WOW! People are still arriving. August: It's getting crowded. Panel 2 Christine stands up from the couch while August remains seated. Christine: Better get another drink before they're out. August: Okay. August assumes this is Christine politely excusing herself and doesn't budge. Panel 3 August instantly starts to analyze their whole conversation. He's not very happy with how it went. He likes Christine but has a feeling that he didn't make a very good impression. August (thinking): I screwed that up. She was nice. Why do I ruin everything by opening my mouth. I'll never see her- Panel 4 Christine has leaned down to interrupt August's overthinking. Christine: Hey Cutie! You coming? August: OH! Y-yeah!

People get way too mad about shit they don’t need to get mad about (English Dubs), and they don’t get mad enough about the shit they need to get mad about (our world being run by billionaire pedophiles).

Me. I did it.

Also I really like Tifa. I love the others to but Tifa is my favorite.
These games are doing a great job in making me really care about the whole crew. They all make me cry.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth are cathartic for me rn. I can easily see myself being part of Avalanche, flaws and all, with this current administration. Trump and his sycophants are like Shinra only stupid.

Missouri Advances Three Anti-Trans Bathroom Ban Bills In One Night “This is a make-or-break moment with what just happened in Kansas.”

1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state.

They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic.

Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too.

The latest from our writer S. Baum.

Bernard LaFayette, Selma voting rights organizer, has died Voting rights organizer Bernard LaFayette has died. LaFayette's son says his father died Thursday morning of a heart attack. He was 85.

Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died.

That statue, which was cast back in 1961, was modeled on 1950s Texas Rangers – as in the law enforcement Texas Rangers – Captain Jay Banks. Since it's unveiling 65 years ago it has spent most of its life at Love Field in Dallas. But then in 2020 it was removed and placed in storage. Why? Because Captain Jay Banks was a racist cop who made it his mission to stop schools from integrating. This is an excerpt from the 2020 book, Cult of Glory: The Bold and Brutal History of the Texas Rangers by Doug Swanson, which describes' Banks' role in efforts to keep schools in Texas racially segregated in defiance of the United States Supreme Court's 1954 decision, Brown v. Board of Education: Then there is the form and face of the statue itself. This dates to 1956, when the NAACP, backed with a court order, attempted to integrate the high school in Mansfield, about 30 miles southwest of Dallas. White residents erupted in fury, so Gov. Allan Shivers dispatched the Rangers. But unlike state police in other Southern racial hotspots, the Rangers in Mansfield did not escort black students past howling mobs of white supremacists. They had been sent instead to keep the black children out of a white school.

The commanding Ranger on the scene was Sgt. E.J. “Jay” Banks. A wire service photo showed him casually leaning against a tree outside Mansfield High. To his left, above the school’s entrance, was a dummy in blackface, hanging from a noose. Nearby a white mob had assembled. Some carried signs that threatened death for anyone attempting to integrate the school. Banks saw no need to remove the effigy or disperse the mob. “They were just ‘salt of the earth’ citizens,” he later wrote. “They were concerned because they were convinced that someone was trying to interfere with their way of life.” Blacks were so intimidated that none attempted to enroll at Mansfield. Several days later, Gov. Shivers ordered Banks and a few other Rangers to Northeast Texas, because African-Americans wished to take classes at all-white Texarkana Junior College, a public institution. Again the Rangers’ job was to stop black students from enrolling. As at Mansfield, a mob of white men gathered outside the school. An 18-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy, both black, arrived by cab and began to walk toward the college. The mob blocked their path. Some surrounded the 17-year-old and kicked him, while others threw gravel. The Rangers watched it happen and did nothing except threaten to arrest the two students. That wire service photo of Banks in front of the school with the Black person hung in effigy can be seen at the top of today's newsletter.

The statue was removed from public view in 2020 in the wake of that book about the Rangers being published. This occurred at the same time that statues of Confederates, Klansmen, racists, and segregationists were removed all over the country following the murder of George Floyd. But now the Texas Rangers Baseball Club, knowing full well the history of the statue, its subject, and its removal, and knowing that multiple municipal institutions decided it was inappropriate for public display, is happy to put that statue up in a public concourse at a major league baseball stadium. When I learned of this yesterday afternoon I contacted Major League Baseball and asked the following questions: Is Major League Baseball aware of the history of the "One Riot, One Ranger" statue and its subject, Jay Banks? Is Major League Baseball aware that Love Field and the City of Dallas removed the statue and put it in storage in 2020 after Banks' involvement in attempting to keep schools segregated in the 1950s came to light? Does Major League Baseball condone one of its Clubs erecting a previously-removed statue of a staunch segregationist at its ballpark?; and Does Major League Baseball have any comment regarding the discomfort that will be felt by Black fans when confronted with the statue of a segregationist at Globe Life Field? I did not receive a response. I'm going to assume that the league's silence on this means that it wholly condones the Rangers putting up the "One Riot, One Ranger" statue despite its sordid and extraordinarily well-reported history.

Yesterday the Texas Rangers erected a statue of a segregationist cop at Globe Life Field. A statue that was removed from public property in 2020 because of its racist history. @mlb.com has refused to comment. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...
