An image of a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) from the account of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (@KenPaxtonTX), posted on March 9, 2026. The post text reads: "🚨🚨 BREAKING: I secured a victory against a New York-based child mutilator to stop the sale of chest binders to Texas girls. I will never allow radical companies like Lola Olivia to abuse Texas children by 'transitioning' them." Below the text is an embedded image of an official press release from the Office of the Attorney General of Texas. The press release is titled: "Attorney General Ken Paxton Secures Victory Against New York-Based Child Mutilator to Stop the Sale of Chest Binders to Texas Girls." The body of the release states that Attorney General Paxton secured a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against the New York City-based online retailer, Lola Olivia, Inc. It claims the company sold chest binders to children as young as nine years old without disclosing health risks. The release cites concerns regarding medical conditions, physical pain, and long-term bodily harm. It concludes with a quote from Paxton stating his office will continue to protect children against "radical, sick corporations."

Texas AG Ken Paxton has gotten a TRO in Texas court blocking retailer Lola Olivia from selling underwear to trans people.

I think it’s important to note the timing of this. Broadcasting a terrible policy in a terrible moment strongly suggests behind-the-curtain motivations.

Only in a bind when constituents aren’t a priority.

Yes. Ogles is a blatant racist. And he faces no consequences for this.

Saying this about any other group would never be allowed.

Yeah, this is another one of those things that happen on a regular basis that simply doesn’t for any other form of art.

The captions on the photos in the article made my day 😂😂😂

AI fakes spread disinformation. Is the distrust they create even worse? Manipulated images undermine our shared reality—and the democracy built upon it.

A few weeks ago, I saw a group of people in a Facebook comments section trying to figure out if a picture of Ilhan Omar was real. (It was not.) I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I wrote about what I'm calling "strategic memes against public participation." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Didn’t see a Pixar boycott in my future but here we are.

Can’t we be nice and have nice things

Israeli soldiers were killed by brown people terrorism while Lebanese buildings simply disintegrate and Iranian school girls spontaneously stop being alive - similar to how Palestinian babies just instantly combust in well-documented examples written up by the NYT.

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves

They send our kids AND other people’s kids

Straight from The Outer Worlds games

I hate to bring up those streamers we all hate, but APPARENTLY Asmongold was like "Yes you should bomb the medics, don't let them fix up", clearly thinking "in video games, you always try and kill the healer first"

Having NO IDEA that it's a WAR CRIME, one SO BAD even the ACTUAL NAZIS DID NOT DO IT

They really saw what was done in Gaza and thought "what if this was the whole world"

Going after desalination is closer to nuclear war than anything else weve ever seen there is no world if this is done there is just no world left after the horrors this will unleash

america is a country run by war criminals and temporarily embarrassed war criminals

does anyone know if we have

economy tomorrow

Presidentialism - & especially the post-WWII imperial presidency created by both parties - was a grave mistake

Anyone framing this as targeting or being related to Mamdani—when it was thrown at a Nazi rally—is incorrect.

Here is a map. It was not outside Mamdani’s home. It was more than a block away, thrown toward a Nazi rally on 87th on the opposite side of the street of Gracie Mansion.

I’ve been friends with the Post and Courier’s managing editor since the 90’s when he worked for me. But I also worked with him on a story in the last few years and he’s as old-school gumshoe (frustratingly so for a hothead like me at the time) as it gets and I’m extraordinarily proud to know him.

Morrison said Naqvi walked walked and hitchhiked to a hotel after being released from the detention center in WI.

Naqvi's sister Sarah Afzal also said the WI facility denied she was ever held there.

(I was told the same thing when I called the WI facility in the wee hours of Saturday morning.)

This line just screams IDF “intelligence” from Netanyahu because he knows Trump will just randomly regurgitate the talking point if you get it into his demented skull.

Very “eating cats and dogs” energy

This is something you'd see from Russian media

hitting the same target twice is for killing emergency responders, and for making people afraid to help those who have been injured or maimed in a previous strike

the US did this to a schoolhouse
