Transphobes are already targeting the biggest star in women's soccer and baselessly alleging she's a man because she's Black. This is what trans people warned would happen. Gender policing that becomes explicitly racial.

A women's soccer star is the target of an anti-trans activist - Outsports
Barbra Banda's peers in the NWSL stood up for her when the head of an anti-trans fashion brand tried to demean her.

He and the Republicans could really truly solve this conundrum if they were just willing spend a bit of our tax dollars to let people eat food and go to the doctor but they’d rather do this
the shutdown is killing his poll numbers and he knows it

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

creating a Kidz Bop version of “Tears” by Sabrina Carpenter is frankly an act of hubris on par with building the Tower of Babel or creating Frankenstein’s monster

She’s right. The government started putting gender on passports in 1972 out of concern that men and women were getting too hard to tell apart, what with all the hippies with long hair and feminists in pants and whatnot.

Strike gender from IDs. Everywhere. It serves no purpose. @murray.senate.gov
@murray.senate.gov When the government is back in session, will you introduce a bill to take “sex/gender” off passports? There is no reason for it to be there, and, indeed, it’s only been there because of the misogyny of our government in 1972?

I’d appreciate a response.

When I went to USPATH, the TSA facial recognition thing was okay with it on the flight out but on the flight back the computer was like “definitely not the same person” and it took FOREVER to get waived through

"without subjecting anyone to differential treatment."

This is flatly false! Trans people with a passport that does not match with their plain appearance when presented to a border agent is subject to additional hassle compared to a cis person presenting a passport.
NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I (19F, 25F, 23F, ???F) accidentally killed my mother (5000F). My husband (25M) says it wasn’t my fault but now I have the overwhelming urge to put another guy inside this knife I got from a bunch of murderous spies. WIBTA if I don’t tell him about it?
My (25M) father (51M) is mad at me because I murdered his ex-best friend (49M) in a secluded hallway in our mountain fortress and hid the body. I only did it because he repeatedly took advantage of my father’s trust and tried to kill him on multiple occasions. AITA?
My (22M) therapy patient (35M) won’t listen to my suggestions, any advice?

Edit: Yes I did once kill him, but his soul is mostly reattached to his body and we were both just keeping our oaths at the time.

if you can't handle journalists asking clarifying follow up questions you have no business managing reporters. go run a dick's sporting goods
Jake Lahut, a Wired reporter who from the Nancy Mace airport story last week, was among those fired.

During the incident, CN's HR chief asked staff not to congregate outside his office. Lahut asked "what's your definition of congregating?" and was let go later on Wednesday.

I am not a military strategist, but I have a vague memory that not feeding the troops was one of those big fuck-ups that Sun Tzu talked about.
NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:
US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It
The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

imagine thinking there isn’t a large Venn diagram overlap between “people who opposed US involvement in Afghanistan because the war on terror was bullshit” and “people who oppose strikes on fishing boats in sovereign Venezuelan waters because the war on drugs is bullshit”
And for those still going on about drug boat strikes - I wish you’d cared this much about Afghanistan. I don’t love the use of the military to kill drug runners, but it’s no worse than you’ve allowed for three decades. It’s a bit late for moral hazard pearl clutching now.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.
