With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans

This is why "Let's give in on some of the trans stuff because it'd be a popular compromise and you have to meet people where they are" is not only immoral but politically stupid.

Republicans were never going to stop there. They stop when you stop them.

Sheryl Kaskowitz @skaskowitz.bsky.social writes about this in A CHANCE TO HARMONIZE, on the government's use of folk music during the New Deal. Charles Seeger, who ran the Music Unit of the Resettlement Agency, originally thought the people's music should be modern & atonal before discovering folk.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.
