Like then, we have an insecure weak man wanting to press his military’s might toward imperial expansion, all in the name of the homeland’s security. These are dangerous times with a terrible future in front of us. Use your voice. Please. Before it’s too late.

Americans need to wake up and recognize that we are at the end of our Weimar Republic. Our government has come for trans people and universities and immigrants, just as Germany did in 1933.

Of course the Don’t Tread on Me dorks were going to capitulate to unconstitutional authoritarianism. Have you seen the losers? The alternative was them putting down their IPAs, getting off their asses, and doing something about it. Yeah, right.

This is why character is important. It is the scale on which we balance the truthfulness of campaign promises. When we set it aside, we reap the consequences now playing across the headlines. Character matters.

The United States is in a historic decline because one party was willing to overlook a lifetime of dishonest, unethical behavior in favor of tribal hopes of greatness. Now its constituency is suffering in the wake of policies that are ruining their lives and livelihood.

Opinion | I co-wrote the anonymous HHS report on pediatric gender medicine Nine academics concluded medical transition for minors is not empirically or ethically justified.

In their breathless positioning of scientific neutrality, never once does it dawn on them that they were hand picked to draw a conclusion already reached. It reads with all the informed science of your racist uncle at a Thanksgiving debate.

ANDOR’s brilliance, as is true in all art, comes down to its taste and execution. That it can look at all of the bombast and grandeur of Star Wars, and instead choose to develop its characters at a dinner with the in-law is an extraordinary showcase of Tony Gilroy’s confidence and skill.

In an effort to “protect” cis women from a threat that does not exist, this court both recognizes the need for shielding trans women from discrimination while throwing them directly into harm’s way by denying access to safe spaces for women. Shame on the UK.

I think he knows about as much about the economy as he does gender affirming healthcare.

Alabama faces many problems. Trans people existing isn’t one of them: Guest column Trans people belong. Even in Alabama. Regardless of legislative efforts to say otherwise.

The anti-trans movement is nothing more than political opportunism masking as policy for Republicans who don’t have solutions to the actual problems ailing Alabama.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

There was a massive rally for trans rights in Montgomery today. So many people are deeply afraid as the government demonizes them. And for what? Nothing is gained. Nobody’s life is bettered by bullying a trans person.

Where are the Republican First Amendment hawks? Where is their spine? Honestly. Let this garbage go too far with this and it’s over.

Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government – The White House By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 7301 of title 5, United

Yes it’s horrible. But I think the real takeaway here is that one side recognizes decades of scientific data that supports the importance and need for gender affirming inclusion and the other side thinks sex is affixed at conception. Let that sink in.

My twelve-year-old boy can’t get enough of Star Wars Skeleton Crew. It’s the only Star Wars thing he’s ever connected to in the franchise and he’s LOVING it.

When the anti-trans coalition came to AL, I was asked to meet with proponent reps about their support. 100% offered these bills, not as solutions to a problem, but because out-of-state interest groups asked. For one rep, I was the first trans person they’d ever met. The anti-trans movement is a lie.
