Texas AG Paxton Declares Therapists Affirming Trans Youth To Be Illegal And Child Abuse The declaration echoes his 2022 efforts to target parents of trans youth with child abuse, and may force conversion therapy on trans youth in the state.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:

Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.

Its a horrifying escalation.

Normswers No. 1 | Ayatollah Bobby Petrino and Hockey Night in Cringe What would that caustic old chunk of coal think of what's in the zeitgeist? Well, no one can be sure since he died 4Β½ years ago. But the only way to open the bile valve is to channel his spirit.

11. Run an indie media network
12. Amplify Epstein survivor voices
13. Lobby for veterans issues, especially military sexual trauma
14. Suing the administration for wrongful termination
15. Running a non-profit that aids fired federal workers

There’s more but I’m busy. END/

Delroy A. Whyte-Hall (@theprwriter) Hi Nathan, and thanks for your question. The answer to your question is simply this: The shift starts with language before it starts with law. in other words, if leaders, media, and industry consiste...

Some fantastic thoughts here on shifting the language in policy discussions centred on the housing crisis.

Trump can never fire Pam Bondi because she has as much dirt on Trump as Epstein did.

JUST IN: Advisors to Hillary Clinton say the House Oversight Committee’s closed-door deposition has been paused after it was revealed that Lauren Boebert shared an unauthorized photo from the hearing with Benny Johnson, who then posted it on social media, as seen below.

My dear sister informs our family group chat that her hockey-mad 8ΒΎ-year-old son told her she had to take some guy named Auston Matthews in the Tim's NHL picks.

I replied, there is no living player I know of by that name.

Can I temporarily halt my federal income tax payments until the US government starts taking its responsibilities (and the Constitution) seriously? I'm hopeful I'll be able to resume funding by 2029.

Once again, the admin doing something ILLEGAL to punish a state that hasn't obeyed them. That hasn't submitted to their demands. THis is grotesque and every single one of them should be impeached for their blatant disregard for the law.

Whistleblowers and independent journalists are finding we have to step in where the FBI and Congress have failed.

Difference between Canada and USA. Sure, a Canadian politician might go in to shake hands with the players and thank them. But they would carry themselves with dignity. They wouldn't let someone drape a medal on them.

I caint even imagine Pierre Poilievre being such a brat.

Right now the shootout silver in 1994 against Sweden hurts more since that was actually a time Canada lost in hockey against a team from a democracy.

Hilarious to see quisling Jamil Jivani bloviating about what he promised β€œhis community” of Bowmanville North Oshawa.
He didn’t even live there when petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre parachuted him in.

In saying he’s a β€˜true Canadian,’ Gretzky shows he’s still a wonderful deflector It’s not too late for the hockey legend to redeem himself. But one canned answer about winning a gold medal won’t do the trick

Gretzky just doesn’t get it..

β€œCanada and the USA are like brothers and sisters. They’re going to fight and argue, but eventually you come together, right?”

I still can't watch the docs on him, or the 'No Dress Rehearsal' one about The Tragically Hip. Candy's death at 43 just hurts too much. He would have won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar if he'd just had a few more years.

Carleton won, so it's the Ravens hosting the upset-toughened U of T Blues in play-in games for the U Sports Final 8, i.e., conference semifinals on Wednesday. Other semifinal is the TMU Bold vs. Brock Badgers -- Bold HC David DeAveiro vs. his former player, Brock HC Will Manigat.

Been watching and enjoying Canadian university sports for many moons.... but this is the first time I have seen a basketball playoff game interrupted by a fire alarm. Everyone out!

Three of the actors from Varsity Blues didn't live to see 50 but toxic Trump-loving Jon Voight is still around. Guess even the Grim Reaper doesn't want his life.

Game misconducts in IIHF play are reviewed by a disciplinary panel to determine if someone should sit out the next game(s). So, based on how Crinon was running around taking liberties, Canada should be able to get Tom Wilson cleared to come back and take a costly penalty in a knockout game.

USA hasn't done anything FOR Ukraine, except to cost them more distruction, and loss of life.

Zelensky is right... Without security, they might as well continue fighting. Because it only means Russia will not be held to account, as they are permitted to go without now.

Russia owns 200k war crimes
